Federal agents executed search warrants in Watertown and other locations across the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted Times Square bombing, said Warren T. Bamford, Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge.“We can confirm that search warrants have been executed in several locations in the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted Time Square bombing,” Bamford said. “A number of individuals encountered during the searches were taken into federal custody for alleged immigration violations.“
We can confirm search warrants have been executed in several locations in the Northeast in connections to the investigation of the attempted Times Square Bombing. The searches are the product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation subsequent to the attempted Times Square Bombing and they do not relate to any known immediate threat to the public or active plot against the United States. Two individuals encountered during the searches were taken into federal custody for alleged immigration violations.
Four people -- two on Long Island and two in the Boston area -- have been taken into custody on alleged immigration violations in connection with the raids. The FBI would not elaborate.
