The Guardian has the latest on where things stand.

In case it wasn't abundantly clear already: The injured Saudi man, who was questioned after being tackled while running away from the scene covered in burns, is a witness, not a suspect.

The bombs used "appear to have been fashioned out of ordinary kitchen pressure cookers, packed with nails and other fiendishly lethal shrapnel, and hidden in duffel bags left on the ground."

The first picture here may show one of the bags in which a bomb was hidden. Investigators are reviewing the image.

Peter Daou, with a bit of perspective. [CN for violence and war.]
