FBI press conference reveals the "official suspects" of the Boston bombing, including photos and surveillance video

By Patrick

The FBI just held a short press conference, revealing the two current "official suspects." I taped the press conference, but it will take about two hours to upload the video, because the file is quite large. When it has finished uploading, it will be available on youtube HERE. Maybe the press conference will be available somewhere else quicker.

The FBI spokesman said that the two men are the suspects because they went together to the marathon, as can be see in the published surveillance video below, and "suspect 2" with the white baseball cap was seen dropping his rucksack at the site of the second explosion, shortly before it happened. Apart from that, the information which was given during the press conference was rather sketchy. It is apparent that the investigation has only just started, and that there are still many open questions.

The FBI have presented some pretty good pictures of the suspects. All the pictures can be found on the FBI-website here.

Here are some images from the FBI-website:

This is the surveillance video:

The FBI warned everyone against taking action on their own, if you come across these people, as they may be dangerous. Instead call: 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).

UPDATE 2:

Internet sleuths at the famous as well infamous internet websites reddit and 4chan are searching frantically for photos of the bomber and already made several interesting finds. Please read the article at Atlantic Wire with the details. However, nothing has been proven or confirmed yet. It is an ongoing investigation. This is also the reason why we won't publish pictures of possible suspects, before anything is confirmed. 

But it is noteworthy that internet sleuths have started their own major investigation. It might prove valuable in the end.

The reddit page "findbostonbombers" can be found here.

Here are the photo comparisons of the "4chan think tank."
