FBI has released the images of the individuals responsible. The FBI are looking for two men.

Images of two possible suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing circulated among agencies investigating the terror attack are expected to be released to the public Thursday, The Boston Globe reports.

The photographs, captured moments before the blast Monday that killed three people and left more than 180 wounded, show two individuals separately standing at each of the bombing sites, according to multiple reports.

A Fox News reporter who said he had seen the photos described them as "clear," adding that the images show both individuals carrying bags. He said authorities requested the photos not be released for fear of compromising the investigation.



The bombs had been placed near the finish line, along Boylston Street. The bombs, which were pressure cooker devices, detonated at 2:49 p.m. EDT, 13 seconds apart. No warnings had been given, and no one has been arrested or claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Described as pressure cooker bombs, thought to be made using Fagor-brand pressure cookers, they were improvised explosive devices constructed from pressure cookers, explosives, bits of metal, and bearing balls placed in black nylon duffel bags or backpacks.

While we were sleeping the news broke overnight saying that they've cornered the individuals responsible for the Boston Marathon Bombing.

To keep you up to date on the situation, they've ID the two men as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tzarnaev. They're brothers and the prime suspects in the bombing.

Overnight, there was a firefight and Tamerlan was killed. Dzhokhar is on the loose. He's considered dangerous according to law enforcement figures.

The FBI and Massachusetts law enforcement figures are looking for the suspect in the nearby Watertown, Massachusetts.

The two managed to kill a MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during their getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left one of them dead and another still at large Friday, authorities said as the manhunt intensified for a young man described as a dangerous terrorist.

Two law enforcement officials told the AP that Tsarnaev and the other suspect, who was not immediately identified, had been living legally in the U.S. for at least one year.

Right now, the city of Boston and vicinity is closed off to keep the suspect from fleeing. The FBI and local police are packing strong. They've determined the suspects are extremely dangerous and they're a strong possibility of a massive firefight.


"We believe this man to be a terrorist," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said at a post-4 a.m. press conference about the at large suspect. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody."

An MBTA Transit Police Officer was shot during the overnight manhunt through Cambridge and Watertown.

Richard (Dic) H. Donohue Jr., 33, is in surgery now at Mt. Auburn Hospital, according to a police spokesman just after 8 a.m.

Donohue has been an MBTA police officer for three years.

Donohue is from Winchester and now lives with his wife and six month old son in Woburn.

All MBTA service has been suspended on Friday morning and law enforcement officials are asking residents of Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge and the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods of Boston to stay indoors and for businesses to not open today. Also, no vehicle traffic will be allowed in or out of Watertown until further notice.

The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

A robbery at a Cambridge 7-11 Thursday night was followed by the fatal shooting of a MIT campus police officer, then a carjacking by the suspects, which turned into a shootout in Watertown on early Friday morning, with one suspect pronounced dead at a hospital after the shootout and the other at large.
