Even the FBI information wasn't certain about the "suspects."

Yeah, saw that too. After all, they're "suspects" so let's wait for more infos.

Naples picture is definitely the suspect, an even better picture was released a couple hours ago. He is also confirmed to be a student at Umass Dartmouth, which is a mere 15 minutes from my house, the next town over. I have many friends that went there. The campus has been evactuated today as a precaution. Also reports that him and his brother were seen on Tuesday loading a car with bleach at a grocery store that is about a mile from my house. Although the FBI and State Police are still concentrating on Boston, it's suddenly gotten even closer to home for me.

Either way as of right now Boston remains on lockdown and every available state trooper is in the city. They don't seem to know for sure where he is but lets hope it's where they all are.

Also Route 18 which is in New Bedford where I live has been shut down for some reason.

Exactly right. Everyone in the city is inside with doors locked. The only people on the streets are Police/State Troopers/SWAT. Same goes for a few surrounding towns. They are searching a certain area in Watertown which is just outside the city, but they still have many more homes/places to search. No way in or out right now. I'm assuming both the Red Sox and Bruins will be cancelled shortly as they're supposed to be playing in the city tonight.

Here's a picture today of a typically very busy area of the city:

Just thinking that Boston is in some kind of quarantine gives me the creeps ! And your photo too, empty streets ...

I've been reading his Twitter. He's no mastermind behind this. If the story is true, I think he was at most an accomplice to what his brother did... He really comes across as a totally normal college kid in his tweets, nothing much political or even religion related.
