April 15 was the 65th anniversary of the birth of the country Israel. That seems like a possible motive. My guess is that they have the right guy in custody. The people in the area said he was acting suspiciously and then he took off running right after the blast. They tackled him before he could get away. I'm sure he wasn't the only one who took off running. However he was the only one that the people tackled and held until the police got there. Is it possible that they tackled him simply because he looked foreign? Sure it is possible but I would say it is more likely that there was something suspicious about his behavior.
My guess is that they have the right guy but you never know. Richard Jewell looked like a good suspect in the Atlanta bombing and he turned out to be totally innocent.
