    I haven't seen a single person say that. I, like most of the others, have very carefully said no conclusions can be reached yet.

            The explosion was about 200 metres from the Canadian consulate.

                NY Post seems to be the only one reporting more than 2 dead... and the only ones apparently mentioning this Saudi suspect.

                Anyone have any info from a... reputable source?

                no... nevermind xpost... that link credits the NY post

                  So we can blame Canada!

                    Yeah, Boston PD are now saying the Post story about a suspect is bogus.

                      CNN liveblog doesn't mention anything, and while I don't trust Ted Turner for much, I trust CNN to come out with a suspect as soon as it is remotely reliable... Sounds like around 50 people were seriously injured and upwards of 100 treated for various things (based on my compilation of the numbers in various sources).

                        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.

                        The Post report was attributed to "a law enforcement source." According to the Post, the "suspect" is "currently being guarded in a Boston hospital."

                              Maybe MSNBC will see the Apolyton discussion and use it to write a Tea Party Terrorist story to counterbalance the Fox News piece then

                                The obvious suspects would be the manufacturers of Oscar Pistorius' 'blades' - who else would blow the legs off of a bunch of elite runners...
