The FBI — whose Boston Division was assisting with the practice raid — said the incident occurred around 10:00 pm on Tuesday and that Defense Department personnel “were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual, not the intended role player.”
No one was injured, but police were called and arrived to confirm that “this was indeed a training exercise,” the FBI said in a statement. Police officers responded to a radio call around 12:20 am on Wednesday and went to the luxury Revere Hotel in downtown Boston to investigate, according to a report provided to AFP.The USASOC said in its statement, “we are reviewing this serious incident with our partners and no further details will be released at this time.”Your subscription has been successful.
