    NY Post and NBC say a potential suspect is under guard at the hospital and the police refute by saying no one is arrested? The two statements aren't even contradictory.

    Is that the same spot? Did the explosion knock down some trees and erect a wrought-iron fence?

    not so sure about that. The clock in the race at the time of the explosion says 4:09. While the winners finish 2 hours earlier, there will be a lot of runners around the 4 hour mark.

    The blue mailbox that is in the picture above. Where is the metal fencing though? I don't see that in the above picture. Was it put there for the marathon?

    Feds involved on this. No way Boston police has jurisdiction and expertise.

    **** like this the first thing they will do is round up every single Middle Eastern people they can find in the proximate of that surrounding. If it was a mailbox detonation. It will take them awhile to check all video footages that hopefully track down the suspect(s) that place it in there. But if the package(s) is being place during a crowded scenes. It's going to be tough.
