After a couple false reports about possible suspects by various national news organizations, the FBI has officially released photos and videos of the two real suspects wanted in connection with Monday's deadly Boston marathon bombings. "The FBI is showing images of two suspects who they believe are associated," said Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Field Office Richard DesLauriers this afternoon. "We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous." You can see video of them below.
"Some images show two men walking together," he added. "One is in a backwards white baseball hat and the second is in a dark jacket, open with a white shirt and wearing a backpack." Suspect #2, the one in the white hat, was the only person "seen planting a device."
The FBI noted that they've received thousands of leads and tips in the days since the bombing; no other details of the investigation will be released "because this is our focus now." If you recognize either of the individuals, the FBI asks that you contact [email protected] or 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324),
