The first headline literally said someone was on the phone, they updated it to possible suspect next time round.

CBS are saying that FBI have used it in coordination with cell phone carrier to determine which exact person it was in relation to the video footage from the camera store they supposedly have.

Seems not. Suspect has apparently been identified with black jacket, gray hoodie, and importantly, white baseball cap on backwards.

That guy in the wheelchair.. the full pic is serious business.

Yer I have seen the pics and the video, its awful. I think it got shown on live TV when they were interviewing someone.

Yeah astounding injuries, I don't know how hes still conscious. As to the above pics, backpack, no back pack - obviously its all internet guesswork though. *caution - its all speculation, the internet has been known to be wrong in the past

Scougar · 17 Apr 2013 at 21:23

^^^ But look at how he's holding his arms in the other picture (not this one you have shown) where people think he doesn't have the back pack. To me, it looks like he is holding something in front of him. Remember, 'personal space' is to the front of you... so that is the natural place to put a back when trying to keep it out of the way.

EDIT: Also, what's the time frame on that picture? (It's roughly 2 hours 25 mins at least when it looks like he doesn't have the back pack.)

Pretty sure the full pic hasn't been shown, they cut it off before the bone every time. May be wrong though.

No, he was in the background coming past on the wheelchair and the camera man zoomed in, then it cut from the screen.

There is a full pic - I can't un-see it, best don't go there.

There's a couple more when he's still on the ground too, blood everywhere. And another few people around him with similar injuries.

Goberpiles316 · 17 Apr 2013 at 21:30

Yes it was on the day when the program went out live they were interviewing someone and the camera panned to the left and he was being pushed towards them in the wheelchair, the presenter said "oh my god" The raw picture is available, but I would advise people not to view it.

Devlish · 17 Apr 2013 at 21:33

yup definitely, no unseeing that.

No idea as to timeframe, this is 4chan at work from a link posted on the last page. This guy also *looks* like a unabomber type, compelling evidence! He was also placed almost exactly at the spot where the bomb blew.

IMO this attack was conducted by a disgruntled American who wanted to cause carnage without the usual suicide or suicide by cop ending.

That was my first thought.

To add, why would the bomber be at the scene if he triggered it with a mobile phone?

Scougar · 17 Apr 2013 at 21:42

RC parts were found (or so it seems), so it's more likely triggered via a radio controller rather than cell phone.

You have to place the bomb in the location? So that's why he would have been at the scene.
