BOSTON—The FBI announced Thursday it had identified two men as
"persons of interest" in the Boston Marathon bombing case. It asked
that anyone with information about the men or who may have seen them
in the vicinity of the marathon finish line on Monday to step forward
with information as soon as possible.
At a news conference here, FBI Special Agent Richard Deslauriers
released surveillance tape and displayed photos of two young men
captured in the moments before before the twin explosions that killed
3 and injured 170.
"Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors,
co-workers or family members of the suspects," Deslauriers said.
"Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with
information to come forward and provide it to us."
The release of the images represented a significant breakthrough in a
massive manhunt that has consumed local, state and federal law
enforcement since the detonation of two shrapnel-packed bombs that
plunged the annual Patriot's Day race—the nation's most prestigious
marathon—into terror and chaos.
The man Deslauriers called Suspect One is seen wearing a dark hat,
while Suspect Two is wearing a white hat. Deslaurier said Suspect Two
is believed to have set a backpack down in front of the Forum
Restaurant along the marathon route near Copley Square.
The photos are posted at www.fbi.gov.
Deslauriers said the two men appeared to be walking together along
Boylston Street in the vicinity of the explosions.
"We know the public will play a critical role in identifying and
locating these individuals. Somebody out there knows these
individuals," Deslauriers said.
Deslaurier described the men as armed and extremely dangerous and said
no one should try to take any action to apprehend them. He said those
with information should contact law enforcement.
Earlier, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asked for the
public's help in identifying possible suspects.
"I wouldn't characterize them as suspects under the technical term,
but we need the public's help in locating these individuals,"
Napolitano said when asked to give an update on the marathon probe
during a Committee on Homeland Security budget meeting on Capitol Hill
Thursday.
"The investigation is proceeding apace," Napolitano added. "This is
not an 'NCIS' episode. Sometimes you have to take the time to properly
put the chain together to identify the perpetrators."
Earlier Thursday, the U.S. attorney's office for the District of
Massachusetts sent out a tweetencouraging anyone with information to
submit clues, video or photos to an FBI webpage dedicated to the
investigation.
"The FBI and its partners are actively investigating the explosions
along the Boston Marathon route on April 15, 2013," the page states.
"If you have images, video clips, and/or details regarding these
incidents, please provide or attach them below. We appreciate your
support."
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama flew to Boston on
Thursday to attend an interfaith memorial service and visit
hospitalized victims. "Every one of us has been touched by this attack
on your beloved city. Every one us stands with you," Obama told the
crowd.
Obama honored the families of those killed in the blast—Martin
Richard, 8, of Dorchester; Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford; and
Lingzi Lu, 23, a Boston University graduate student from China.
The improvised explosive devices were located about 100 yards apart in
the bustling Copley Square area. Twelve blocks of Boston's downtown
remain closed as authorities comb the area for evidence.
