The New York Post reported that a “Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today’s blast” has been identified as “a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.” The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

“Honestly, I don’t know where they’re getting their information from, but it didn’t come from us,” said the spokesperson.

The Post report was attributed to “a law enforcement source.” According to the Post, the “suspect” is “currently being guarded in a Boston hospital.”

How do we know the “law enforcement source” isn’t some brain-dead cop who saw a dark-skinned man with a funny accent and decided that he must be kept a watch on because he might be connected?
