Good. Hopefully it is the guilty party.

agreed

i say throw the world at them, if guilty

[Sharingan]

Yes excellent quick work as long as they have the right person.

[sir.prize]

BBC News Channel has just denied there has been an arrest.

[dr b]

CNN now saying "conflicting reports on arrest"

[ChillDoubt]

Sky News claiming 'conflicting reports emerge regarding identification and arrest' of suspect.

Hmmm.

News conference at 9pm GMT should hopefully clear this up. If it is an arrest I hope it's the right guy.

[Prudie]

Would have been good but the US will be under immense pressure to 'catch' someone to allay the public fear. The hope is probably that it's a lone crackpot rather than a successful terrorist attack.I expect there may be several suspects hauled in before and if they ever find the ba$tards.

I hope they have made progress. Unlikely to be the work of just one person though.

this is what CBS Boston are currently reporting http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/04/17/cnn-boston-marathon-bombings-suspect-identified-in-surveillance-video/

[DTCwordfan]

that is potentially brilliant news, dr b.

[dr b]

US Dept of Justice now says no arrest made.

The perils of the 24 hour news cycle - don't get it right, get it written.

[sir.prize]

US Attorney in Boston says no arrests made yet.

[Canary42]

The "suspect" is being waterboarded to get a confession.

[LazyGun]

Would be great news, and lets hope they have the right person. In such a high profile and frantic investigation it is not unknown for people to arrive at the wrong conclusions....
