I would like to know why they are hiding his identity. He is 33 years old for gods sake Not a child!

[Catspaw]

Because until he's charged with *something* law enforcement is going to withhold his name. I expect charges to come rather quickly. Of course, enterprising reporters would just ask the neighbors who blew up good.

They hide his identity for now to avoid tipping off any co-conspirators. The full story will out soon enough.

[Trust but Verify]

The story is new. They may not have released the identity yet. Being from the area, I can almost assure you this is not a muslim terrorist cell. Hartford is generally a conservative area.
