I am thinking some guy with an IQ of around 70 being set up by someone at the FBI or another agency. They just have to not blow their cover so easily this time with releasing the name, affiliation, motive, et al, so close to the actual act. It must appear like this is some fine domestic law enforcement work. We are safe, but not as safe as we could be if we upgrade our Patriot Act and Homeland Security crime-fighting tools.

Investigators have arrested a suspect in relation to Monday's Boston marathon bombings, law enforcement officials have said.
The breakthrough reportedly came from security video of a man dropping off a bag on the street near the race's finish line, before walking away.
Boston marathon attacks: Suspect arrested, says 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.

The investigation into Monday’s deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon has officially gone international: law enforcement officials from Israel have been sent to the United States to assist in the probe. Israel Police Chief Yohanan Danino says he has dispatched officials to Boston, Massachusetts, where they will meet with Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and other authorities, the Times of Israel Reports.

Don't know if this was posted but the Israeli's sending investigators over seems like a strange move to me unless they already know something....

I'm going to bet it was an al-qaeda sympathizer or sleeper agent.
He's Middle Eastern. They (the popo) made a false bomb threat to process the guy, and get him out.

You are correct. This would be the other scenario. Like the shoe bomber and the third Oklahoma bomber.
But I'm am still leaning towards N. Korea. It makes sense, if they caught one of them, perhaps injured in the blast. The early reports might be that he was caught, but where ever this guy goes, he and the place he was in would be a target. the hospital would be a target, the court would be a target. The others in his cell would want to silence him. If he is an American citizen, say a second generation sleeper, then he is guilty of treason. Obama would insist, he be mirandized and taken before a judge, to insure that due process is followed and that a prosecutions would be possible. Then he would taken off to a military base prison. In the mean time, the news would change the report to no arrests have been made, at least until the prisoner is safely tucked away, water boarded, and the bombs are dropping on Kim's head.
Vice President Biden appeared to have learned of the explosions in Boston from television.
During a call with gun control activists Monday afternoon unrelated to the incident, Biden said, "As I am speaking here, they just turned on the television in my office and apparently there has been a bombing — I don't know any of the details of what caused it, who did it."
The sources identified the person as a man wearing a white baseball cap. One of the sources added that the cap was on backwards and the man was also wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt and a black jacket. The second source said investigators have not identified this person.

They have a suspect. But he isn't Caucasian.
Why?
If he was Caucasian, they'd parade him around, we'd have his Facebook account, twitter record, PIN numbers, and voting records by now.
He's Middle Eastern. They (the popo) made a false bomb threat to process the guy, and get him out.
We are leaving the Middle East. Our troops are drawing down. We don't want to fan the flames of a decade-long war so this is being hushed up.
If it were a white guy, he could be used as part of the propaganda machine for gun control.
But a middle eastern terrorist? People would want to keep their guns then.
