How is that an issue nowadays? Are his hands injured as well? He shot at them from the boat. Maybe his hands were was injured after that?

As I understand it he’s sedated pretty heavily. I’m guessing the blood loss was pretty bad from the reports.They want to be careful for a few days.

Okay then @Adirondackwannabe. That would make more sense, it can’t be because of the throat injury. The story makes it sound like that.

@flo Have you seen the stories about the guy that lost both legs and came out of the surgery and immediately asked for writing materials because he saw them plant the bombs. He’s the guy pictured in the photo in the wheelchair. A little difference in courage and bravery you think?

According to USA Today, he is awake and responding in writing this evening.

@Adirondackwannabe I haven’t seen the picitures but anyone who failed to do just that would have to have a major problem.

My question is they know exactlly what time the bomb went off, they have L&T store’s video footage, so why did they require much help from the public? Why did it take so much time?

Good thinking @flo – you predicted what is actually happening right now :-)

@mattbrowne if you’re referring to the OP, I guess you haven’t read the article. It says due to the fact that he has throat injury, he can’t be interrogated.

Edited to add: And “right now” is 11 hours ago, my OP was 23 hours ago, I was hearing the same thing from other news sources as well.
