Update: The New York Post is the only outfit I’ve seen reporting this, but their sources should be solid: suspect identified
A federal law-enforcement source confirmed to The Post there are at least 12 dead and nearly 50 injured. Fox News reported that Massachusetts General Hospital was treating 10 people with amputated limbs and all operating rooms were on hold.
Authorities have a identified a suspect, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds.

Update: Another report of bombs hidden in trash cans.
Update: Ace is wondering on Twitter why a suspect would have shrapnel wounds. Good question. If he’s a suicide bomber, the bomb would have killed him. If he’s not, why hang around the area when the bomb goes off? Wouldn’t surprise me if the “suspect” ends up being released.
