Backpack left unattended on Boylston Street.

The area near the finish line of the Boston Marathon was evacuated Tuesday night after two unattended backpacks were left at the finish line.

One of the bags was left near the photo bridge on Boylston Street. The street was shut down between Fairfield and Dartmouth streets.

WBZ-TV photographers on scene say they saw a person with the backpack screaming "Boston Strong" before police cleared everyone from the area.

Member of bomb squad inspects bag at Boston Marathon finish line.

Witnesses say the person was barefoot, wearing a long black veil and was acting strange. Boston Police say one man has been taken into custody.

The Bomb Squad inspected the bag and then detonated it just before 9:00 p.m.

Copley Station on the Green Line is closed while police investigate the bags.

One year ago, three people died, and more than 260 people were injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line of the marathon. Earlier in the day, Vice President Joe Biden joined survivors, and victim's families for a moment of silence at 2:49 p.m., the same time the bombs exploded a year ago.

The bag was found just minutes after the Norden brothers, who are survivors of last year's attack, completed a relay walk along the 26.2 mile course.

Comment: Such bags placed by those really behind the bombings last year would perfectly strike the note in people's minds on why they need to be afraid. One can almost hear Chancellor Sutler from 'V for Vendtta':

"What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country. This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television... I want everyone to remember, why they need us!"
