    That would just be a really odd coincidence that a random Saudi student studying English in the US and hanging out watching the marathon who had nothing to do with the bombing has other random security concerns worth deporting him for. BE4RD may be right that it's for his own safety, but I wouldn't think they would deport him - maybe just pay for a flight home until everything blows over.

    There are websites that say the Saudi government says that the Saudi student that was a person of interest has several family who are supports of Al-Queda.

    Further, those websites also say some of his family members are being held at Gitmo.

    Not sure how common his last name is in the Middle East, but several of the last names listed are the same.

    Yeah I did a search this morning to try to find a link to the story and apparently a lot of these online terror blogs (who knew?) have linked this guy to some pretty unsavory people?

    2 guys, one with white hat, carrying a black backpack. Hard not to think this is who the leaks are about. Though he isn't wearing the hooded sweatshirt, or necessarily a black jacket (though he is wearing black).

    That may be true, but if the guy is getting deported like that dude broke last night then maybe they were on to something.

    Yup, here's his FB.

    https://www.facebook.com/yassine.zaimi

    The older white guy in the blue jackets FB was also found. I read that his FB blew up with people welcoming him to the 1% and had lawyer services offered non stop. He's supposed to be going to the court house today, dude is scared ****less.

    They're on the cover of the NY Times today. Apparently he worked for US track and field, went to Harvard and had an affinity for hollering at random girls on Facebook.

    Last year I ran Boston for the first time.

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=217918

    Although it was a great experience, we had record heat (89 degrees at the finish) and the race was incredibly difficult. I used to describe it as a "death march" but those words seem incredibly inappropriate now.

    As an active member of the Houston running community, I had about 20 friends running this year. One of them had a son there cheering him on, and he was injured. I got this email this morning ....

    Just keeping it real for the folks here at ClutchFans. Please keep the race baiting and politics in the D&D. Thanks.

    I need to requalify, but I am all in for Boston in 2015.

    The FBI released the memo about who (the descriptions) they were looking for, but if you wanna keep hanging from my nuts about my link to Reddit, I'll give you a sponge and some soap so you can keep 'em clean.
