Boston Police: No Arrests Have Been Made In Marathon Bombing

A spokesperson for the Boston Police Department said no suspects have been taken into custody yet after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

"At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," the spokesperson said.

The New York Post reported that a "Saudi national who suffered shrapnel wounds in today's blast" has been identified as "a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing." The Boston PD spokesperson did not confirm that report.

"Honestly, I don't know where they're getting their information from, but it didn't come from us," said the spokesperson.

and "At this time, we haven't been notified of any arrests or anyone apprehended," border on being self-contradictory -- especially since the first sentence is NOT a direct quote.
