Someone has probably called the FBI on the one guy already. Which will tie him to the other guy.
These idiots sure did not try to hide their faces. Bad planning. Good for us!

We got showed the raw photos. Likely the FBI has enhanced ones available internally.

(549 posts)People are giving them too much credit. If reports are true, they couldn't even get all their bombs to go off. I don't think these guys should be mistaken for Einstein.

1. brats, USA made, like the Columbine guys
2. upper class Arab with some time in the USA but not born here, still believers, doing it for the "cause"

This could be the big giveaway! Style faux pas of a foreigner or from a small rural town perhaps..
So my final guess:
70% American guys in their 20s who admire Timothy McVeigh and timed it to make a statement about "patriotism" etc.
30% Overseas guys who were recruited due to experience in the USA, and who have slithered out of the country.

(18,115 posts)Maybe a little tin-foily, but I think the mix up yesterday could have been someone talking out of turn. They had one, but didn't want the other one to know that they had him and were closing in.
The one in custody isn't talking, so they went public.
Or, they don't have either of them.
