I wonder if a triggering mechanism could have burned his hands??
We may find out more from Herridge in her next report. Nothing from Cavuto, so I am expecting she will be on Baier.

BTW: I was looking for an article in which the HOSPITAL says they treated Saudi for burns because most articles say "shrapnel wounds on legs." So far, I only found this (sources same CBS reporter, John Miller, as in the other link in previous post)
" He was being questioned by the FBI in a Boston hospital, where he was being treated for burns to his hands....
The man, who officials are not calling a suspect or a person of interest at this stage, was seen running from the scene of one of the explosions and was tackled by a member of the public and turned over to police."

However, we can't consider this as a confirmation because article is sourcing the same reporter without directly quoting him.
Hmmm....Found more detail from John Miller (according to Hot Air):
"But the pattern of his burns — mainly on his hands, Miller says — has investigators wondering what he was doing at the time of the blast."
CBS: FBI, BPD “very interested” in Saudi national
All from CBS reporter John Miller!
Two other sources!
Salon transcript from a C-SPAN interview with Steve Emerson:
EMERSON: I have been given privy to certain classified information.....the burns on his skin match the explosive residue of the bomb that exploded.

Salon goes on to trash Emerson, saying he had to retract, but if you watch the video, Emerson's only "retraction" is to say the Saudi has been cleared.
*************
"Saudi official at the country’s embassy in Washington. The embassy official... spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the preliminary nature of the information.
He declined to identify the young man, but said he sustained serious burn injuries."
Source [not dated but obviously early]
FYI: I'm using "saudinationalburns" to keyword this info.
A little bit more info on the bomb:
"The TEDAC document, however, notes while the elements of the Boston bombs “use similar components to those described in several issues of ‘Inspire,’” they also diverge from the “Inspire” designs, with different triggers and power sources. A fusing system that used parts from a toy car, say the investigators, does not seem traceable to the magazine." Source

Herridge was on Baier, but I think she probably gave the same info to him as she did to Megyn.
