No Arrest Made in Bombing Investigation
Contrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past
day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been
inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage
of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before
reporting.
