Suspicion falls on employee after explosion at university in Boston

Man who said he discovered package at Northeastern University may have staged incident, law enforcement officials say

Federal officials are now examining whether the employee who reported an explosion at Northeastern University may have lied to investigators and staged the incident, law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.

Investigators identified inconsistencies in the employee's statement and became skeptical because his injuries did not match wounds typically consistent with an explosion, said one official.
