It's been proven no one could have shot anyone from where he supposedly was.

even navy seal sharpshooters can't do it, Oswald was a "sharpshooter" designate in the army but his weapon would have limited him.

and don't forget they changed the weapon in statements after it was found.

I agree, the 'magic' bullet theory is pretty strong too if you've seen it? The way that bullet(s) would have had to travel in order to cause the injuries it did is just ridiculous turning in mid air etc

One theory is that there were two shooters to make certain that JFK couldn't survive. The first bullet hit him in the chest and the second hit him in the head. If it was one man then he was an incredibly good shot.

It's just not possible to reload that particular gun and then re-aim it and fire it accurately from the distance he was supposed to be at.

it was an old bolt action rifle that takes serious effort to reload.

the magic bullet theory was supposedly disproven because they didn't account for the make up of the car seats that were off centre and lower in the front.

A suspect has been identified

Taking them a long time to find this guy. (Bottom Left)

This was taken about 5 minutes before it went off. Big backpack on that guy, and he's wearing an Earpiece.

hmmm.

The lady taking a pictue (of what I presume is her partner and child) should have a good picture of him

Boston marathon attacks: No arrest, say officials

Reports that a suspect has been detained over Monday's Boston marathon bombings have been denied by US officials.

The Associated Press and CNN cited law enforcement officials as saying someone was in custody, but police and the FBI in Boston denied the reports.

Earlier, officials reportedly said a suspect had been identified from security video by the race finish line.

The FBI has postponed a Wednesday evening press conference.

Police and journalists arrived at a courthouse in Boston amid confusion over whether a suspect had been held in connection with the attacks, which killed three people and left more than 170 injured.

"Contrary to widespread reporting, there have been no arrests made in connection with the Boston marathon attack," the FBI said in a statement.

"Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate."

The Associated Press reported that the anonymous law enforcement official who was the news agency's source for the report that someone was in custody had insisted it was true, even as it was widely disputed.

His jacket is very well padded just going off the size of his arms. Perhaps he was wearing a bomb vest as a back-up?

In reality, it's impossible to stop these nutters causing carnage, but at least with modern technology like CCTV and GPS, the culprits will nearly always get caught.

Fortunately, the Yanks are not enfeebled by the European Human Rights Act. Once they start feeling collars they are within their rights to ship off any suspects to Gitmo. It's amazing what a couple of weeks in the Cuban sunshine can reveal.

I'm no expert, but going off the CCTV images there are three Asian suspects and one Caucasian conspirator.

Just shows what good CCTV and modern technology can do (depending on your opinion) wonder if there will ever Come a day when we're all Microchipped at birth?

The Press are moaning that they are not getting enough information from the authorities. Get a grip FFS. These things take time. Patience is a virtue. Everything has to be put together piece by piece.

It will all come out in the wash.

The foreign looking bloke on the right is well padded, either that, or has been hammering MccDonalds. The weather was quite mild so he had no need to be so well wrapped up. The NSA will be on the case and will be analysing individual cellphones.

My money is on a small cell with no more than five individual plotters. Probably not on the radar at the time of the attack, but they will be now.

Those two people are definitely cops/military/undercover IMO.

They obviously have tactical ear pieces too.

Why is it hard to track them down then?

Here is a picture of the second bomb site.

The bomb was apparently placed right next to that mailbox.

The police haven't released any photos yet, but when they do i'll bet that guy in the blue and his mate are in them.

That could explain the bulky jackets if they are wearing body armour. If they do turn out to be undercover cops then it would suggest that the authorities knew that something was planned beforehand.
