BOSTON – A heavily armed FBI team searching for suspects in the
terrorism attacks in New York and Washington stormed a Boston hotel Wednesday.
A couple of dozen officers, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying shields,
were seen bringing fiber-optic equipment into the Westin Hotel in the Back Bay
section.
WHDH-TV reported the officers were using the equipment to check under hotel
room doors on hotel's 16th floor, quoting a person who was inside the hotel.
Three ambulances and a police car were stationed outside the hotel as a crowd
of onlookers gathered there. Police officers returned repeatedly to a police
truck outside to retrieve the fiber-optic equipment, which can be slipped under
doors to see inside rooms, WHDH-TV reported.
