    Fox saying the MIT incident was a fleeing robbery suspect who took the officers weapon and shot them, most likely not related to marathon

    He was running though, right?

    Sorry if its in bad taste, but telling stupid jokes is one of the ways I deal with crap like this.

    if it is him, this is almost like a Tom Clancy novel when you factor in the mysterious bombs found a few weeks ago in the area.

    Supposedly they have only provided some of the footage and have more.. Also an eyewitness that had his legs blown off.

    Perhaps it will be shown that he is not involved, but at this point it isn't looking good for him. Now WHY it was done? Who knows... I find it odd that no organization has taken credit for it.

    plus, the fbi is not cnn. they were not going to release these images until they had strong evidence and need to question.

    IMO that just makes it more likely this is somehow connected to some anarchist movement.

    You are way off.

    Is it me or does he look shorter than 6 feet? There's no way he weighs 130 pounds and he's that tall.

    I could understand if they have more footage we have not seen. But can't take the eyewitness's take on it since he just had his legs blown off and is under so much morphine that he can't even talk.

    Agree... I find it highly likely he and his friend are the bombers. They do not look "white", so that probably rules out the right wing militia movement. The lack of anyone taking credit leads me to believe it isn't from the Middle East ... But then again Fox is quoting a Pakistani government source that the CIA is investigating Pakistani/USA citizens... So who knows...

    any assertions of agenda are completlely baseless at this point of time. I know we all want answers, but it will take time.
