By Eowyn @DrEowyn

ABC reports that the FBI today released images of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing the bureau considers to be “armed and extremely dangerous.”

At a press conference, FBI special agent in charge Richard DesLauriers referred to the two men as Suspect 1 and Suspect 2 and said Suspect 2 was spotted dropping a bag before a bomb exploded at the second bomb site. The two men appear to be “associated.”

DesLauriers asks the public for their help identifying the suspects, but the public should not approach them because they are considered armed and dangerous.

Three people were killed and more than 170 wounded in dual blasts near the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday. No group, foreign or domestic, has claimed responsibility.

Meanwhile, what happened to the “suspect” who we were told yesterday had been “arrested,” then changed to merely being “identified”? He was supposed to be brought to Boston’s Moakley Federal Courthouse yesterday, but wasn’t, because the courthouse received a bomb threat and was evacuated.

And what about the Saudi national who reportedly was held and questioned as a suspect right after the bombings, then his status was revised to a “person of interest” (POI)?

Kerry Picket reports today for Breitbart.com that terrorism expert Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project revealed on Hannity’s cable show Wednesday evening that an official at ICE told him the Saudi national first questioned by authorities about the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday is set to be deported. Emerson said, “It was determined that he had no involvement [...] Well, I just learned from my own sources he’s now going to be deported on national security grounds Tuesday. This is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t arrest their citizens. You deport them, because they don’t want them to be embarrassed.”

In an email, Act for America identifies the mysterious Saudi national to be Abdulrahman Alharbi. Here’s his photo from the Facebook page of Abdulrahman Al-harbi:

Lastly, Reuters reports that yesterday, Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House ostensibly to discuss the conflict in Syria. The meeting was not on the POS’s public schedule.

Something stinks!!!
