"CBS News senior correspondent John Miller said there is “an individual in custody,” a Saudi national who was near the scene of the blast.

Miller said a civilian claims the person was acting suspiciously and chased him down and tackled him after the explosions."

Seems unlikely to be actual terrorists from overseas, since (fortunately) the destruction isn't as bad as stuff that goes on in the Middle East. Unlikely to be those militia types, as it's Patriot's Day and they would usually only target US government, not people.

I think it's probably domestic-grown Islamist(s). As it's a State holiday, someone probably local to the area.
