Hunt For The Man In Black: Authorities Search For 'Dark-Skinned or Black Male' As Police Guard Another Potential Suspect In Boston Hospital By KATIE DAVIES and HAYLEY PETERSON 15 April 2013
Police are seeking a suspect in the Boston bombings who is described as a 'dark-skinned or black male' carrying a backpack, while authorities are also reportedly questioning a potential suspect at an area hospital, according to reports.
The suspect at large was spotted at the scene of the twin explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday and he wearing a black sweatshirt with a hood, according to authorities. Five minutes before the first explosion, officials said the person attempted to gain entry to a restricted area and was turned away. Authorities say he may be a foreign national, based on his accent.
Another potential suspect was also being questioned by police at an area hospital Monday afternoon. Several news outlets reported that he is a 20-year-old Saudi national in the country on a student visa.

Rhode Island, near as I can figure.
Most people can't hear their own regional accent. I guess it's what's called a normalcy bias.
Windflier —
No offence taken! AAMOF, there are different accents just in the Boston area alone. I’ve lived in NJ all my married life and still say ‘aunt’ and ‘bath’ in a way no one does here. Plus I say shu-er for ‘sure’. And my son Mark has gone from “Mahk” to a name almost with an ‘r’ in it. LOL! But Boston has always been Boss-ton. Maybe from my Canadian Mother?
I love accents! And -— no — I never picked up the Jersey one. You got a problem with that? LOL!
