FBI: Have You Seen These Men? Bomber Photos, Video Released

The FBI released video and photos of two men they want to speak with in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing.

The FBI has released photos and videos of two men suspected in the Boston Marathon bombing on Monday. Lead special agent Richard DesLauriers said the FBI had initially developed one suspect, and has since developed two suspects in the case.

Suspect One is seen in the photos wearing a dark hat. Suspect Two is seen in a white hat, and setting down a bag just in front of the Forum restaurant. The suspects were seen walking together at one point, DesLauriers said. There are also photos and videos of the men apart.

"We know the public will play a critical role in identifying and locating these individuals,"  said DesLauriers. "Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, coworkers or family members of the suspects."

DesLauriers said the FBI is especially interested, photos and videos and accounts from those who were at the Forum resturant prior to the bombing, as one of the suspects dropped a bag there just prior to the explosions. 

The suspects are considered armed and extremely dangerous, DesLauriers said.
