The FBI and US Army Special Operations Command, conducting a training exercise in downtown Boston, raided the wrong hotel room and arrested the wrong person.

According to the CNN report, in the incident that occurred in Boston, members of the FBI and special operations raided the wrong hotel room during the exercise. According to the Boston Police Department, the incident occurred at the Revere Hotel Boston Common.
