FBI is no-commenting reports that there is a person or suspect in custody in Boston. This comes after the Boston Police knocked down press reports to that effect.
Obviously there’s a lot of confusion and conflicting accounts at the moment. So we’re going to tell you exactly what we’ve been told by relevant authorities: The Boston Police Department said and still says they know nothing about an arrest. The FBI, however, is declining to comment on the report. Obviously these are not necessarily conflicting reports. It is also possible that federal law enforcement knows things that local law enforcement does not.
