The F.B.I. yesterday released still and
video images
of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings - including a man who
was seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second blast - and
appealed for the public’s help identifying the men.
One was seen placing a dark-colored backpack outside the Forum
restaurant, the site of the second bombing, just minutes before the
explosion, said Richard DesLauriers, the special agent in charge of the
F.B.I.'s Boston field office.
“Today we are enlisting the public’s help to identify the two suspects,”
Mr. DesLauriers said at a news conference on Thursday evening in
Boston.
In the video, both men are carrying backpacks, and wearing baseball
caps, one a dark cap and one a white cap turned backward. They are
walking along Boylston Street.
