Showing Original Post only (View all)Boston Herald Names Roommate Of Saudi Man Questioned By Police [View all]
The Boston Herald published the name of a roommate of the Saudi Arabia man whom police have questioned about the Boston Marathon bombings.
Mohammed Hassan Bada, 20, told the paper that police spent five hours in their apartment, located in Revere, Mass., adding that he signed a piece of paper to let the authorities inside. He said he was scared and that police questioned him with an Arabic translator. Police took items from the apartment, Baba said.
The two men have a third roommate, another Saudi man, who is 19 years old and was traveling in New York at the time, Bada said, according to the report.
