They have told a man to strip naked and arrested him. They have arrested a second one too. The eye witness so far describes one as being white, and one a darker complexion, he thought was middle eastern.

Source me watching the news.

This has to be the same guys they're looking for from Mondays attacks. Who else has plant explosives lying around to have in case of a police chase? They also had fully automatic weapons and hand grenades good grief, what's wrong with the world today.

If it's the same guys, then they are absolute morons. They should be in Europe or South America by now with all the law in the Boston area.

Doesn't look like the two suspects were arrested tonight. Saw the video of the naked man, he was white. The second arrest might have just been an unruly bystander.

News says the second guy is the naked guy after he was clothed. So one guy.

Now see report says that they said the guy is one of the bombing suspects and other one ran away.

Were they trying to bomb MIT? Because it'd be pretty foolish to stay in Boston after Monday. Figured they'd be on a one way flight to Russia by monday evening.

If they are Chechnyans then it's worth remembering that they've been involved in a Civil/Separatist War with Russia for around a decade. Just before anyone looks to stoke up residual Cold War feelings towards Moscow.

No, their one way flight was to America. They knew this was a suicide mission, IMO.

They lived here and were permanant residents.

You can't throw that out as truth at this point. Too early to say that was their mission.

You are correct. It was just my opinion. Heard they went to school here. Where is the Chechen connection?
