He has an Indian name, so he could very well be Muslim.

It does kinda look like him, but the accused bomber's hair is much longer.

These guys are Muslims. Everything about it screams Islamic terror. Occam's razor says so. They're also out of the country, and probably off the continent by now.

Jessica Chastain is unemployed she could go to work on them now. I am hoping they get apprehended by good police work. The entire anti terror framework still pales in comparison to good old police work.I hope catching these guys is a repudiation of the not so talked about shift from cops to big brother...

It took too long to get the pictures and video into the right hands. Those guys bombed Boston because it was close to the Canadian border. They were on a flight out of the country the night of the bombing. Once they're safely back on their own turf, we can probably expect a video of them standing in front of an Islamic Brotherhood flag, claiming responsibility and telling us why it's our fault.

No claiming of responsibility, no US security agencies picking up terrorist chatter, mean that it's likely NOT Islamic extremist, but more likely RWE.

Pretty sure you're just a troll, but the odds that your "RWE's" are going to bomb the finish line of a marathon, which only kills civilians, and doesn't really make Obama or the US government look bad at all, is pretty slim. It's just about as likely to be LWE's, which is to say it's not likely at all.

If it is him then he must have left have left Hinduism as Hindus are peaceful people.

Just saying IF it is him, not saying it is him.

Left-wing terrorism really isn't a problem in the USA. RWE is.

All you guys point out some retired dude who was active 40 YEARS AGO while ignoring the seriously RWE from the 1990's, who killed more people than all of the LWE's combined.

Tough to call but regardless of what nationality the guy is it's obviously not Al-Qaeda/Taliban because those guy would take this opportunity to chest thump as much as possible. There would probably be a VHS tape out by now with some idiot saying "death to America" or something similar.

This is definitely a lone wolf/terrorist wannabe(s) who ever it is.

Interesting. I had taken it for a Dale Earnhardt Sr. cap - the font on the 3 looks similar.

Here is the Ralph Lauren cap - it does look right:

Rewatched the video that showed them from the back and I'm sure it is now.

Sure the FBI has already identified both and looked into if they were recently bought together as they seemed to have identified the first one pretty quickly on CNN.

The timing as well as crudeness of the bomb and lack of "chatter" leads me to believe this was a lone wolf scenario. Either a domestic nut job or an international student here on a visa.

What do you mean lack of chatter? Do you normally have access to chatter other than the 99% horseshit that gets posted on forums?

Boston Bombing Victim in Iconic Photo Helped Identify Attackers

Minutes before the bombs blew up in Boston, Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him.

Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview.
Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff’s legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee.

“He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’” Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview.
Those words may help crack the mystery of who perpetrated one of the highest-profile acts of terror in the U.S. since the 2001 assault on New York City and the Washington area, one that killed three people and wounded scores.
While still in intensive care, Jeff Bauman gave the FBI a description of the man he saw, his brother said. Bauman’s information helped investigators narrow down whom to look for in hours of video of the attack, he said.

FYI, Jeff is the guy everyone saw that was in the wheelchair with his legs blown off and some guy next to him holding his artery.

Wow, so Jeff saw the guy and he looked right at him! Maybe Jeff was a target of the attack?

I can't help but envision Jeff making a comeback, getting the best prosthetics money can buy and running in the Boston marathon some years from now as an ultimate testament of overcoming evil!
