THE WHO?

A suspect has been identified in the Boston Marathon bombing, an unidentified law enforcement source tells CNN.

The station reported that officials believe a video from a department store and a TV station helped identify the suspect. It’s yet unclear whether a suspect has been located and apprehended or just identified.

UPDATE (1:46 p.m. ET): CNN reports that an arrest has been made.

UPDATE 11;54 from FBI

Contrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.
