New York Post is reporting the bomber as a Saudi national.

Investigators have a suspect — a Saudi Arabian national — in the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.

It was not immediately clear why the man was hospitalized and whether he was injured in the attack or in his apprehension.

The man was caught less than two hours after the 2:50 p.m. bombing on the finish line of the race, in the heart of Boston.

Update: Boston PD is giving a presser now, and the commissioner’s making it sound like the explosion at the library was also a bomb. That’s three in total; he says they haven’t found other devices. Meanwhile, another detail from that Post report on the suspect:

In addition, Boston police have has surveillance video of someone bringing multiple backpacks to blast site, according to CBS News.

BREAKING: EXPLOSION AT JFK LIBRARY in Boston – Police Investigating

The JFK Library incident is reportedly unrelated to the explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Reports indicate that it was just a fire, not an explosion.
However, police are investigating video footage to see if the fire was caused by a bombing.

Earlier today after the bomb blasts at the Boston Marathon police scanners reported a possible bomb at the library.

A third bomb was detonated by police near the finish line of the marathon.

UPDATE: FOX News confirms there was an explosion at the JFK Library.

UPDATE: Boston officials confirmed there was a third explosion at the library.

Police confirmed a third explosion at JFK Library in Boston. Boston fire officials confirmed during a press conference that the third explosion was linked to the ones that occurred at the Marathon.

A Department of Homeland Security program intended to give “trusted traveler” status to low-risk airline passengers soon will be extended to Saudi travelers, opening the program to criticism for accommodating the country that produced 15 of the 19 hijackers behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Sources voiced concern about the decision to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, which issued a report Wednesday on the under-the-radar announcement — which was first made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after meeting in January with her Saudi counterpart. According to the IPT, this would be the first time the Saudi government has been given such a direct role in fast-tracking people for entry into the United States.
