Marcinkiewicz Dept: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Brian Hale said three people were arrested on suspected immigration violations: two in the Boston area and one in Maine. All three arrests are administrative and not criminal, he said, according to CTV. "These people might be completely innocent and not know what they were providing money for, but it's clear there's a connection," the official said and the searches were the product of evidence gathered in the investigation into Shahzad's alleged bombing attempt two weeks ago, but there was "no known immediate threat to the public or any active plot against the United States," FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said. The two Boston-area men had a "direct connection" to Shahzad, said a top Massachusetts law enforcement official. They are believed to have provided money to him, but investigators weren't sure whether they were witting accomplices or simply moving funds, as is common among people from the Middle East and Central Asia who live in the U.S., said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
