Question from a reporter (with an unidentified accent, offscreen): The White House calls the Boston attack "an act of terror." "Do you consider the US bombing of civilians in Afghanistan that killed women and children a form of terrorism? Why or why not?"
Carney says he doesn't know about "that incident."

Is this a press conference from the FBI? Janet Napolitano is HS, not FBI.
Carney is a press secretary.

CNN's John King has quoted on the air an unnamed "Boston law enforcement source" as saying there's been a what he described as a significant, game-changer breakthrough in the investigation of the Boston attack.
King quoted a "second source who has been briefed on the investigation" as saying that authorities using security camera footage from the Lord & Taylor department store near the attack site have identified a suspect who placed at least one of the bombs and walked away.
The details were scant, and the next FBI on-the-record briefing is due in Boston at 5pm.
King said Boston mayor Tom Menino "did confirm to me when I pressed him" that there had been a breakthrough and that the Lord & Taylor cameras played a part.

(5,455 posts)They may not even have a suspect in custody and if they do, they have not had a chance to question the suspect, presuming he doesn't lawyer up immediately. So explain to me how she can be so certain without a suspect in custody and the investigation being all of 2 days old?
