The hole in his argument on the second tweet is that the FBI was looking for that guy as soon as he disappeared. The FBI doesn't jump in that quick on a standard missing-person do they? There was also an article I saw linking two men to suspicious packages/explosives in March, but they were never caught.

Yeah, its not really an argument at all at this point. I just thought it was interesting that people were way ahead of this in terms of ID'ing the guy.

Not an expert by any means, but am I the only one NOT seeing Sunil Tripathi in the photos of the suspects posted by the FBI? This isn't to say that the suspects couldn't have altered their features (wear wigs, use prosthetics etc). I just don't see his features in the released photos. It does seem way too coincidental for him to have just vanished though. I suppose we'll find out sooner than later.

Praying for all involved in the pursuit and in the vicinity of the violence to be protected and safe, including those of you fellow irish fans out in the area.

Social media is the new tipster hotline.

I don't even get what that tweet means. A camera taped to a lightbulb? What? Bag on the ground what? Am I just tired?

I will be shocked if this dude ever leaves where he is right now. He isn't going alive.

I dont know how this guy would know but maybe it's his farewell video and bag has weapons in it. Pure speculation

What strikes me as odd is that is on the other side of the Charles River from where everything has been going on. Might be some paranoid person calling it in and exaggerating.. pure speculation.

Cops apparenty going to 89 Dexter and told not to use radios. Might have him cornered

And that's the side of the river he was reported to be on. NOT the side that just called in that camera arabic manifesto.

89 Dexter was a controlled explosion, not suspect #2 cornered as previously speculated.

Via the police scanner, the suspect still on the loose may have an explosive device strapped to him

"No one has been officially named".

You can bet your bottom dollar, newsrooms have the names and are doing all the background and prep to tell us all about them as soon as they're officially released.

Without any confirmation, the best answer I can give is, "it is presumed so".


I find the psychology of the perpetrators interesting in that running and self-preservation are not staples of the terrorist psyche.
