Former Dir. Of Public Affairs For The FBI John Miller

Current CBS News Anchor and former Director of Public Affairs for the FBI John Miller joined Ed & Steve to talk about the terrorist attacks in Boston yesterday.

John discussed the "person of interest" although they still do not know who was responsible for the attacks. The person of interest is a Saudi student who has been very cooperative with police, who found him to be suspicious and they searched his apartment and his vehicle.

John also talked about how the police are doing analysis on the 2 devices that went off yesterday to see what evidence they can find. He also discussed how the devices used were not high tech and its why the devastation wasn't far, far worse.

John said that the lack of a group taking responsibility for this shows that this is more than likely not a known terrorist group backing this attack.

John then went on to talk about the significance of dates in April that bring on these types of activities. But he believes this is not a date driven attack but more about publicity and getting the most attention for it.
