Law enforcement officials are reporting progress in the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing that killed at least 3 people and wounded more than 170. Video of the bombing scene has been key and the possible suspect has been spotted. However, NPR's Tom Gjelten says the FBI is saying that no arrests have yet been made in the case.
执法官员报告了波士顿马拉松赛爆炸案的调查进展，这起爆炸案造成至少3人死亡，170余人受伤。爆炸现场的录像成为关键线索，警方已锁定了嫌疑人。但是，据NPR新闻的汤姆·吉杰尔登报道，联邦调查局表示目前并没有逮捕任何案件相关人员。
A senior law enforcement official tells NPR that video of the spot warns at least one of the bombs exploded, shows a man setting down a bag and then leaving the scene. But the official says that there is not necessary mean that the man is the suspect. We need more than that, the official says. Early press reports say a man has been arrested and was even been taken to the federal court house in Boston, but the FBI is knocking no reports down on hard. In the statement, the FBI said "contrast to widespread reporting, no arrests have been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack." Over the past days there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that have been inaccurate, the bureau said. Tom Gjelten, NPR News, Washington.
一名高级执法官员接受NPR新闻的采访时表示，案发现场的监控录像表明，至少一枚炸弹爆炸前，一名男子放下一个背包之后离开案发现场。但是官员表示，并不是说这名男子就是嫌疑犯。官员表示，我们需要更多线索。早前有媒体报道，一名男子已被逮捕，并已被送往波士顿联邦法庭，但是联邦调查局否认了这一说法。联邦调查局发表声明表示，“与大量报道相反，目前并没有逮捕任何波士顿马拉松赛袭击案的相关人员。”联邦调查局表示，过去这几天，大量媒体依据非官方信息源进行的报道均不属实。NPR新闻，汤姆·吉杰尔登华盛顿报道。

这两封信都在送达之前被截获。白宫发言人杰伊·卡尼表示，联邦调查局正在进行进一步的检测，初步检测结果表明信件中含有蓖麻毒素。
"I would underscore that the mail is screened, the mail sent here screened and these tests undertaken at remote sites to mitigate the risk both to those recipients and to the general population."
“我要强调这封邮件的筛查工作，寄到这里的邮件的筛查工作，检测工作都在远程站点进行，以降低对收件人和普通大众的风险。”
The FBI says there has been no indication of any connection between the bombing in Boston and these letters. Senators were briefed on the ricin Tuesday night. After the meeting, Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri said an investigator had a suspect in mind, someone who often writes to elected official. Ari Shapiro, NPR News, the White House.

目前为止，全美共和党国会委员会已经在竞选上投入了大量资金。而在选举前几个星期，桑福德需要一大笔钱来投放竞选广告。但是他将不会从全美共和党国会委员会得到这笔钱，因为他的前妻詹妮·桑福德起诉这位前州长在未经她允许的情况下闯入她家，这违背了她的意愿。桑福德发表声明表示，他当时正在和儿子一起看超级碗的比赛，他对这项指控持有异议，但是该案件定于5月7日的选举结束两天后开庭。2010年，詹妮·桑福德与桑福德离婚，此前担任州长的桑福德承认与一名阿根廷女性有染。当时，桑福德声称是去阿帕拉契山脉徒步旅行。NPR新闻，凯茜·劳尔报道。
