Or do you want me to cite, the other 50 sources too?
Your link just quote the New York Post. It's not a new source.

A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.
"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.
The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.
"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

Just this instant though, he read a report from the Pentagon that says they have nothing 'on the wire' about any specific international threat.
I think this is what Mikey's referring to:

http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/15/wo...-patriots-day/

Wolf Blitzer-"One intriguing notion, one intriguing thought here, and I’m curious, Mike, and I’ll ask Matt to weigh in as well,” Blitzer said. “It is a state holiday, in addition to the Boston Marathon. It is a state holiday in Massachusetts today called Patriots Day, and who knows if that has anything at all to deal — to do with these, these twin explosions.”

Well you can read it, although its speculation you know CNN is just salivating at this possibility. The media are sick #######s.

I Have a real problem with this, the NYPost will write up a nice little retraction saying sorry if not true and in the mean time you have offended many and wriled up a nation, all in an effort to be the first to report on a story...BRUTAL

One of the trending topics on twitter...Muslims

The poor "Saudi national" was probably just some darker skinned bloke that was randomly injured just like everyone else.

This is where all the conspiracy BS gets started- completely false and erroneous reports are used as evidence for years to come.

CNN now saying the event at the JFK library was just a fire in the mechanical room and appears to have no relation to the bombings at the marathon

I'm sorry to ask this, but I am curious, what happened with the rest of the runners after the explosion occurred? Did they just stop everyone, or did they set up a blockade so when runners reached a point they couldn't get further? I can't imagine they kept the race going for more than a minute or two after the explosions occurred.

Many people on Twitter are reporting that some of the runners ran right to the hospital to donate blood.

From what I have been watching on the news they diverted runners onto Commonwealth Avenue to get picked up by buses.

The buses then dropped the runners off at the Boston Commons to be reunited with loved ones.
