I'm not sure why that would be better
Google has a Person Finder for anyone who is looking for or has knowldege of someone at the Boston Marathon Google Person Finder: Boston Marathon Explosions
When the perpetrator is identified, then hopefully we'll have an accounting of sorts. I guess that might be seen as "another layer of trouble" for whatever individual/niche group is identified.True, it does NOT help those injured and the families of the dead, but it at least does not ADD another layer of trouble in an already difficult relationship between the US and various Middle East groups.

No one else is reporting that that I can find so far. All I found is that apparently the NY Post has a less than stellar journalistic reputation.

I guess I'd be least upset to learn the plot was sponsored from outside the US and had little support within our borders. To the degree the perpetrator, whatever his cause, had tacit or active help from those living among us, I think it should be more troublesome for all of us.
We'll probably know soon enough.

It is isn't so much that development speed which is impressive but how do they get approval to roll it out in 50,000 person company within hours.
Interesting viewpoint. See, **I** would rather that it be homegrown than an attack from outside.
I agree with samclem's POV. It seems it would be easier to stop attacks from the outside. An insider has an easier time of it, so it seems we would have more to fear from a group of homegrown terrorists.

This might seem strange to many who have been glued to the TV all day. But do you want to know what the worst part of the day was? Not the 1st bomb, not the realization when the second one went off and we all felt that the faces around us would be the last we would ever see...acceptance is surprisingly powerful and calming....it was not needing to run straight towards a ground-zero blast recently painted red because Jean needed me find her daughter or tell her for 100% certainty the broken bloody bodies did not share our DNA...it was the walk away from the bombs in pursuit of safety...self doubt run amock at every step with the stakes higher than any ever... "am i going the right way, or the wrong way...Is my insistence on walking down the middle of the street to avoid sidewalk bombs smart or foolish, is this guy with the suitcase my end or another poor soul seeking solace...if I make the wrong decision do I take my loved ones with me are the better off following me, holding my hands or am the bane of their existence" I will and possibly am over the devastation of the actual events...having to ignore the lady with her face nearly peeling off..not once but twice because I had something more important to attend to...the intense schade fruede at the family fallen at bomb 1 when I realized there were only 2.5 bodies (didn't realize it was a child until the news said so) and not mine, not my loved ones...not my Chelly Chel and Kath.......I can deal with reality when it kicks my ass...but those minutes of uncertainty holding loved ones fate in my hands when doing nothing is not an option and every option could be the kiss of death is something that will take many a days and maybe a life time to remedy...I ****ing hate bastards who did this to us!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad your friend is safe, clifp. The words posted were eloquent and reflect how I'd likely feel in a similar situation.
Yes, according to independent CBS News reporting, the NY Post report was right: Police are talking to a person of interest who is a Saudi national. They have also searched an apartment and removed some things, reportedly part of the same line of investigation and linked to this person.Today's local birdcage liner sez the authorities are "Talking to [a] Saudi National".
We have heard back from most of the people we know who were running the race and they and their families are safe. Otherwise, we're in a bit of shock here in Boston. And here we were, biting our nails all day due to the bombings in Iraq, where our minister currently is on a witnessing mission. This morning he sends us a message of support. The world's turned upside down.
