FBI raids Watertown house in probe of failed Times Square car bomb

Wicked Local Watertown reports on a 6 a.m. raid:

A neighbor said about 20-25 FBI agents wearing bulletproof vests were on the street at 6 a.m. with machine guns drawn. ... He said it looked like “a Middle-Eastern guy” was taken out in handcuffs. He heard an agent say "Don't fucking move. ...

With photos.

Channel 4 has the wrong house...

... it's the one (under trees) on the corner of Waverley and Summer, across Summer from the Housing Authority. The address is 39 Waverley.

The helicopter noise over hear is getting ridiculous. I may have to go watch Dora in the basement with WarriorBabyGirl.

Brookline gas station is related

According to WHDH during their 8:57A news cut-in, both the house in Watertown and the gas station in Brookline are being searched by the FBI pursuant to search warrants issued in relation to the failed Times Square bombing.

Switched to Wicked Local account

Which includes quotes from a neighbor and photos.

Interesting. The white pages

Interesting. The white pages list a Pirdad Khan at that address, as well as (his wife?) Rebecca May Barry. But the property is owned by another couple, and there may be other tenants in the unit by now.

oooo, what a tough guy

He heard an agent say "Don't fucking move. ...

And I thought FBI agents didn't have time to watch 24.

He would have been nicer...

...but he was "running out of time"!

nice attitude

troll.

Maybe you should go down there and show him what time it is.

Pretty tough from behind that keyboard, aren't we?

Ellen fans are outraged

They want their Ellen instead of worthless dribble on Channel 5. Or as Steve Garfield puts it:

Boston Upset as WCVB breaks in to Ellen and Greyson Michael Chance. FBI yadda yadda ... WCVB: Breaking News - Eyewitness rambles on about FBI raids while we are missing Ellen!

does anyone else not give a shit about Steve Garfield?

The background image on his twitter page kind of says it all.

Talk about self-centered...

You obviously do

Or you wouldn't bother typing all that out.

I just want the freaking

I just want the freaking TODAY show on WHDH. This is so stupid. I don't understand why this needs to be breaking news. I've been watching since breaking news coverage started at 10. They still don't know ANYTHING and all they keep doing is just reporting that they know nothing.

Globe's worst photographer

Can't even get the captions right:

"An FBI agent is seen examining the scene." Really? Cause that's not the scene. That's their Hut Hut Van, which you can see here:

Also, this was such an informative view, we had to see it twice!

Is it really too much to ask that the Globe have competent photographers?

Edit: Herald Website has much more (and much better) photos.

Editors write the captions

Editor should have verified what photo showed

Marilyn Devaney: Get the illegals out of Watertown

Whatever

I'm pretty sure most of Watertown would sleep sounder if they got rid of Marilyn "Curling Tosser" Devaney first.

Neighbor describes the raid

That blonde really knows how

That blonde really knows how to nod.
