(Boston Herald)- Federal agents today executed search warrants in Watertown and other locations across the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted May 1 Times Square bombing, said Warren T. Bamford, Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge.
FBI agents are also on scene at a Harvard Street Mobil gas station and used car lot in Brookline at this hour, but it is unclear whether the activity is related to the Times Square probe.
“We can confirm that search warrants have been executed in several locations in the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted Times Square bombing,” Bamford said. “A number of individuals encountered during the searches were taken into federal custody for alleged immigration violations.“
Bamford said the searches “are the product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation subsequent to the attempted Times Square bombing and do not relate to any known immediate threat to the public or active plot against the United States."
