Confusion over Boston bombings arrest

Published:Wednesday | April 17, 2013 | 2:07 PM

CNN is reporting that investigators in Washington and Boston are denying that an arrest has been made in the bombing of the Boston Marathon.



They had earlier said there was "substantial" progress in the case.



In a report posted on its website a short while ago, CNN said there is conflicting information as to whether someone has been arrested in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.



The news agency said a federal law enforcement source told one of its contributors that someone was arrested.



But later, two senior administration officials and another federal official told that contributor, Fran Townsend, that there had been a misunderstanding among officials and that no one has been arrested.
