Magons, the bitchfest is because everyone seems to have an interest in promoting their own beliefs. When people don't have facts, they reach. Me, I'm not reaching, or trying not to, I'm waiting to see what they learn, and I sincerely hope they DO learn who was behind this so there can be a minimum of insanity pointed in the wrong direction. I, too, agree that, as far as I've been able to learn, all we can agree on is]quote] the bombing should be condemned
nobody knows who did it yet

-- "This was a heinous and cowardly act and, given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism," President Barack Obama said on Tuesday at the White House after meeting with key advisers about the Boston Marathon bombing.

-- Obama said officials do not know whether the bombing was the work of a terrorist group or "a malevolent individual," nor do authorities have a sense of what may have been the motive.

-- "We will find whoever harmed our citizens and we will bring them to justice," he said.

-- No one is in custody, Police Commissioner Ed Davis told reporters Tuesday.

-- Authorities are processing "the most complex crime scene that we have dealt with in the history of our department," Davis said.

-- "Make no mistake: An act of cowardice and of this severity cannot be justified or explained," District Attorney Dan Conley said. "It can only be answered."

-- Thirty forensic specialists and a number of dogs trained to detect explosive devices and their residue are at the scene of the blasts, according to Gene Marquez, special agent in charge for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

-- No unexploded devices have been found, Marquez said.

-- Authorities are asking those who may have video or pictures from the scene around the time of the blasts to call city or FBI hotlines.

-- The blast site will take several days to process, Marquez said.

-- FBI Agent Rick DesLauriers said law enforcement has received a "voluminous" number of tips.

-- Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller met with Obama at the White House.

-- A law enforcement official said there was no specific suspect in the bombings and no leading theory on a motive.

-- The official said investigators have found no surveillance video showing the bombs being put in place but were continuing to comb through video from nearby businesses, etc.

-- The intelligence community is poring through all threat reporting to see if there is anything that could be connected to the explosions in Boston, U.S. counterterrorism officials said.

-- The federal Emergency Response Team has cleared the crime scene near the finish line and is beginning to inventory the evidence, a federal law enforcement source said.

-- The device may have been placed in a trash can, from which shrapnel was created when it detonated.

-- Authorities searched an apartment late Monday in the town of Revere, northeast of Boston, and removed items, but would not say how the search might be linked to the investigation.

-- The official said the Revere search is connected to a young Saudi man on a student visa who has been questioned at a hospital.

-- The initial search found nothing related to the bombing, the official said.

-- The search took place with consent, so no search warrant was needed, a federal law enforcement official told CNN.

-- U.S. and Saudi officials said more than one Saudi has been interviewed. CNN knows of a male, whose apartment was searched, and a female. All those interviewed are cooperating, and none has been lab
