UNFOLDING INTRIGUE IN THE PURSUIT OF THE BOSTON MARATHON SUSPECTS.............

Just seventy four hours today, after the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday that killed three and wounded some 170 persons, the F.B.I. released videotape and photographs of two men considered to be the suspects who committed the crimes.  Five hours after the disclosure of their faces the next bizarre episode began to unfold : near the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (M.I.T.) the two suspects robbed a 7-11 convenience store, recorded by the store camera.  Minutes later the body of a 26 year rookie policemen was found dead with multiple gunshots, at M.I.T. .  This was shortly followed by a shootout in the Watertown area of Boston near the campus between police and the two terror suspects, estimated at perhaps the firing of sixty rounds of ammunition.  This resulted in the death of one of the men confirmed to be the person wearing the black hat in the videotape and photographs released earlier today.  The other suspect, wearing a white hat in the released photo and video, alluded capture from the police at the shootout and is at large,thought to be highly armed and dangerous, as the other suspect was found dead, with an explosive device attached to his chest, indicating if he had been not been shot dead, he was willing to to kill himself in the carrying out of this terrifying travesty.  The citizens of, and visitors to Boston, local and state law enforcement and governmental officials, and the F.B.I., have been valiant in addressing and getting on top of the post Marathon investigation and progress in identifying and surfacing the two suspects, and please God can capture the second one and resolve this continuing threat to the people of the greater Boston area, in this weak of shock and sorrow.............Fr.  Troy
