    Possibly a product of hasty/sensationalist journalism, the NY Post is reporting a Saudi national as a suspect, in custody.

    I saw that they're also reporting 12 dead and 50 injured.

    Sensationalist is exactly what comes to mind.

    I posted this earlier and in bold updates:
    Several tweets that a suspect is in custody - now denied by BPD; alongside higher casualty figures - now denied by BPD and the inevitable array of video footage and stills.

    So I've seen one source reporting a car-bomb of some sort in Morris County New York.

    Anyone see anything else? Or is it bunk?

    It's mostly bunk, but normal in the aftermath of this kind of incident. People are imagining additional threats.

    Doesn't surprise me. I see that infowars has already started up the coal-powered-conspiracy-machine. Not going to link that.

    Great sig pic btw. I haven't read Sluggy Freelance since college.
