BOSTON (AP) — The FBI has released photos of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings and is asking for the public’s help in identifying them.
FBI Agent Richard DesLauriers says the photos came from surveillance cameras near the explosion sites.

The explosions Monday killed three people and injured more than 180.

The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the victims, including an 8-year-old boy.

[American Patriot]

My wife said as soon as the pictures were released there was an even number of dumb asses immediately saying "White Right Wingers" and "Muslims"

I stand by my original assertion that they are Occupy Wall Streeters, or they are anarchists.

Why?

Because IF they are "conservtives" or "right wingers", they'd have been older (usually over 30).

The COULD be Skin heads or something, but I don't think so.

The one guy with the white cap in a couple of the photos I saw (not on here) looked like he MIGHT be Greek, or Middle Eastern. The other guy, not good enough images.

Boston PD captured a real AQ terrorist for questioning but Obama let the him go yesterday after his unscheduled visit from Saudi Arabia.

Remember the FBI cancelled the briefing last night...

Boston bombing update: FBI searching for two men in surveillance video

posted at 10:01 pm on April 17, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham



Well, today was a roller coaster ride with regard to the investigation of the Boston bombing. After CNN and the AP reported for more than an hour that a suspect had been arrested and was en route to a federal courthouse, that relatively encouraging news devolved into the feds having no one in custody, and a bomb threat at a courthouse, instead.

The FBI scolded media:

Contrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.

The Boston Police announced an FBI briefing of some sort tonight at 8 p.m., but it was canceled. No word from them since.

Boston Police Dept. ✔ @Boston_Police
FBI has cancelled the 8pm briefing tonight.
6:29 PM - 17 Apr 2013

The FBI is not sharing the photos with the public.
A Fox News reporter has seen the photos and called them “clear.”
According to the reporter, one of the men has a backpack that appears to match the bag believed to have been used in the attack. The other man also appears to have a bag of some kind.

Other news sources think the photos are forthcoming:

The LA Times corroborates the idea of two suspects identified via video.

Two possible suspects in the bombings have been singled out in surveillance videos of the scene, sources told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.


U.S. counter-terrorism and law enforcement officials told The Times that a department store video caught images of one man leaving a backpack near the finish line. A second federal official said he has been told that authorities believe a second video or photo showed “two men with two backpacks.”


A counter-terrorism official said the men were picked out because they were carrying black backpacks, as well as because of their demeanor and how they reacted to the bomb blasts. That official said authorities do not yet know the identities of those in the videos.

Those bags do not look large enough also they do not match the crime scene evidence bags. Not sure these are the guys. I've seen images of another guy with the exact same back pack as what the new pictured as the nylon bag. something doesn't seem right about these pictures.

Kudos Pamela!
You are out there with the very utmost and best of the American spirit for truth, civility and compassion. Normandy at D-Day was fought and won by self-less warriors like you.
I know that millions of us appreciate your voice of truth and holy courage against the worldwide invasion known as immigration jihad and its hidden goal to conquer all us non-believers.
Fast forward. Even 1400 years down the road, the so-called "prophet" of Islam, Mohammed, is still a lure to Western utopians. Sharia Islam's da'wa does infiltrate and compromise our society into believing Mohammed's lie called Sharia.
Thank you again for your courage and your unflinching integrity.

I don't think you can say anything more disrespectful to those in the greatest generation who were killed getting capturing Omaha beach et al. than this. For fucking shame's sake..... read up on some history and what those guys wnt through - PLEASE - and then maybe when you open your pie hole stupid won't come out.

Well, the first guy is definitely not white. And, the second one that looks like a rookie, has a mediterranean nose just by looking at his profile. That nose is too defined to be white, and its obviously is not black. Could be latino, but that nose is pretty specific.

How can you even pretend the guy in the white cap is Middle Eastern? He's clearly, blindingly white. Black cap is really impossible to tell; there's no clear picture, but he could easily many different ethnicities, including a tan white guy.

They lightened the photo using contrast settings. This was so people can take a look at his facial features. When this happens dark colors get darker and the same is true for lighter colors. He has a broad shaped nose, wavy tight girls and a predominant eyebrow which are more so related to races that interbreed due to religious practices. Those who are southwest asian, eastern european or middle eastern decent (Albanian, Turkish, Palestinian, Jordanian, etc etc). It would be silly to scream out white white white when his features are more Semitic than causacoid.

Not sure how you can say they're white - are we looking at the same video?
Clearly, the one in the black hat is from Syria - I think Aleppo, but could be Damascus. His Dad raised camels, his mom has an intense fear of spiders.
The white hat one is obviously, from the video, a member of the House od Saud. I think he was deported as a national security threat, but the shots are a little blurry. He likes cooking and Kalashnivoks. He was crushed several years ago when Sanjaya was voted off Americal Idol.
I mean, just look at the photos - it's all there.

Look again. That isn't a "tan." The great majority of Whites in the USA are from NorthWestern Europe by extraction. The schnoz on that dude is not Nordic. He's an Arab.

Sen. Lautenberg Wants Background Checks To Buy Gunpowder, Eyes Laws of Chemistry For Further Restriction

J.D. Tuccille|Apr. 17, 2013 8:01 pm

Public DomainI suppose it was inevitable that, after Monday's horrific Boston bombing attack turned out to be the result of crude chemistry and hardware supplies clamped into a pressure cooker, somebody would propose restrictions on anything that can go BANG! And, strictly speaking, we should probably be thankful that, rather than limit the cooks of the nation to hot plates and sterno, Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-God's Waiting Room) proposes "to require that sales of explosive powder be subject to a background check." If this profoundly silly proposal makes it into the law books, it might well slightly inconvenience the nation's reloading hobbyists, who purchase gunpowder to save money on ammunition. But there's no reason to believe it would constitute even a minor speedbump for terrorists, or that the perpetrator of Monday's horror show would have been stopped by such a check.
From Sen. Lautenberg's office:

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In the wake of the deadly bombing attacks in Boston, U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) today announced that he will reintroduce legislation he has proposed in a prior Congress to require that sales of explosive powder be subject to a background check. He will also file the legislation as an amendment to the gun violence prevention bill currently on the Senate floor.
Current law allows an individual to purchase as much as 50 pounds of explosive “black powder” without a background check, and also permits an individual to purchase unlimited amounts of dangerous “smokeless powder” and “black powder substitute” without a background check. Sen. Lautenberg’s proposal would change that and require a background check for any purchase of these explosive powders. These powders can be used as the explosive material in assembling pipe bombs, used in the Columbine school shooting, and pressure cooker bombs, which may have been used in the recent Boston attack.

Purchasing commercial gunpowder is a nice convenience for hobbyists because it provides consistent powder of known quality and stability. But making stuff blow up is not hard. I can't be the only person who scorched part of his home as a kid with black powder concocted from a library book recipe. Cormac McCarthy's excellent Blood Meridian includes a rather detailed recipe for making a large quantity of the stuff while running for your life.
Nastier explosives can be concocted with ease, too. I had a high school chemistry teacher who delighted in pranking his colleagues with nitrogen triiodide. Not hard stuff to make, as it turns out.
When I was a prisoner resident of New York City and found my cap and ball revolver separated from a reliable source of powder by the metropolis's restrictive laws, a little experimenting revealed that crushed matcheads made an imperfect, but adequate substitute. The Internet is full of all sorts of interesting workarounds, of varying ease, sensibility and reliability.
Even simple flour can explode under the right circumstances (see the photo up above) — those circumstances occurring all too easily for those who manufacture the stuff or store large quantities. The bloody Oklahoma City bombing was committed with an explosive made from common fertilizer and fuel oil. The fact of the matter is, preventing stuff from burning or blowing up can sometimes be a trickier task than causing explosions. So many common ingredients, from gasoline to sugar, can be used to cause mayhem, that Lautenberg's further proposal to "[m]ake it illegal to manufacture homemade explosives without a permit," falls just shy of a ban on naughty thoughts in terms of unenforceability.
But commercial gunpowder of the sort that Sen. Lautenberg wants to restrict is a handy, safe product for people who don't want to commit mayhem, but would rather buy a couple of pounds of powder at a time so they can load ammunition inexpensively or fire a reproduction musket. If you're trying to give them a hard time just for its own sake, this bill does just that, and not much else.
As I write, the authorities have images of "persons of interest" in the Boston bombing, but nobody in custody and no names. It's not clear, at all, that whoever committed the bombing would have had a criminal record of any sort to be caught by a background check. But it is certain that plenty of alternative means of creating explosives would have been available, if commercial gunpowder was not.

What happened to the dark skinned foreign suspects being hunted by Boston Police after the FBI cancelled the briefing?


WHY IS THE PREVIOUSLY DETAINED SAUDI NATIONAL BEING DEPORTED?

Appearing on “Hannity” Wednesday night, the Investigative Project on Terrorism’s Steve Emerson reported that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was briefly named a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombings, is being deported on Tuesday. He based his information on a number of his confidential sources.

“I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday,” Emerson said.

Host Sean Hannity referenced a report by Reuters that revealed President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House Wednesday. They reportedly discussed the conflict in Syria.

“The meeting was not on Obama’s public schedule,” the report adds.

Police raid Boston home linked to burned Saudi student who was 'acting suspiciously' near marathon finish line after bombs that killed 3 and injured 176

• Bomb squad among 20 officers combing flat, bags of evidence removed
• Saudi suspect, 20, under guard in hospital after 'acting suspiciously' in area
• Police also hunting dark skinned man with hooded dark-colored sweatshirt and backpack seen trying to get into restricted area
• Speculation mounts over who could be behind the attack that left three dead
• Fingers point towards either Islamic militants or right-wing extremists who chose to attack on symbolic Patriot's Day
• Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called bombings 'cruel act of terror'

By Matt Blake, Katie Davies and Rachel Quigley
PUBLISHED: 15:40 EST, 15 April 2013 | UPDATED: 09:43 EST, 16 April 2013

Detectives last night raided a home in Boston in connection with the explosions at yesterday's marathon which killed three and injured 176, 17 of them critically.

Authorities are still unsure who was behind the blasts - which have been described as small, home-made devices - but have a number of leads which they are following.
Agents, including the FBI and bomb disposal officers, swooped on an apartment in the suburbs of the city after a man, said to be of Saudi origin, was arrested at the scene..

The 20-year-old suspect is under police guard in hospital, where he is being treated for burns and shrapnel wounds to his legs, after he was tackled to the ground by a civilian who believed he was acting suspiciously.

WAS THE TIMING SIGNIFICANT? PATRIOTS' DAY IS REVERED BY RIGHT-WING GROUPS OPPOSED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

• Yesterday's attack took place on Patriots' Day, which marks the first battle of the Revolutionary War and the 'shot heard 'round the world.' It is a day held in reverence by right-wing domestic groups and others who oppose the federal government.
• The 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, which killed 168, occurred the day after Patriots' Day. Bomber Timothy McVeigh was said believe the date was significant.
• The federal siege of the Branch Dravidian compound, which left 82 members of the cult dead, began on Patriots' Day in 1993.
• Today is also Tax Day, when federal income tax returns are due. In recent years, it has been seized on by members of the Tea Party as cause to protest federal government policies and tax rates.
• A Justice Department source tells MailOnline that authorities are looking into the possibility that the Boston attack, which killed three and injured 144 more at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, could have been planned to coincide with Patriots' Day.
• President Barack Obama himself acknowledged the significance of the holiday during his briefing this afternoon.
• 'Today is Patriots Day,' he said. 'A day that reflects the freedom Boston has celebrated throughout its history.'

It was also reported that he may have had a foreign accent. He is in the country legally on a student visa and is said to be cooperating fully with police inquiries.

He said he had been at dinner with friends the night before and was at the marathon simply because he 'wanted to see the end of the race'.

He has a clean record, and suffered burn injuries during the explosion.

In an interview with the Boston Globe this morning, his roommate said he highly doubts his friend had anything to do with the attack.
He described him as a devout Muslim and a soccer fan who is from the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia.

He is in Boston attending an English language school in greater Boston, the roommate said, adding that he last saw him on Sunday

It is not clear if agents found anything in the raid, but Revere fire officials said they were called out to support bomb-squad officers as part of the investigation of the 'person of interest'.

At Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, investigators seized the man’s clothes to examine whether they held any evidence that he was behind the attack, which is being called the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

Law sources told the New York Post that after the man was grabbed by police, he smelled of gun powder and said, 'I thought there would be a second bomb' before asking, 'Did anyone die?'

The Saudi man was tackled by a bystander by the scene who thought he was acting suspiciously.

Investigators were seen leaving the scene with brown paper evidence bags, trash bags and a duffel bag.

A law enforcement source told CBS: 'They see him running away from the device. Now, a reasonable person would be running away. But this person had noticed him before. This is a civilian -- chases him down, tackles him, turns him over to the Boston police.

Sen. Lautenberg Wants Background Checks To Buy Gunpowder, Eyes Laws of Chemistry For Further Restriction

See, this works out perfectly for the Administration.

All your re-loading equipment is now terror related.

Isn't it great when events come together.

Third man with Craft International assets carrying two bags:


————–

WRONG! Gotta love the conspiracy nutters...

The gray haired guy is not carrying 2 bags. The yellow item on his right is a high-visibility firefighter/EMS radio in a radio sling.

The item on his left is likely his medic bag with associated gear.

Well here it comes...

2 White Males, mid to late 20's considered armed and dangerous.

Ah yes, they are clearly White-Arabs like Zimmerman was a White-Hispanic.

It is white hat running away. Farther back to the right of pink lady is a the black hat tan pant guy. White hat does not have his pack.

Hmmm... very interesting.

It gets better. I think 4chan is breaking it open this time. They found a missing student from Brown that fits the description and have pics I am going to post

[Malsua]

Can't take credit for this but the Saudi they released had a face book page. He's in the middle but also on the same picture(The first picture below), look at the guy 2nd from left.

Then look at suspect photo from FBI then look at the picture of the same guy without the backpack.

Now, look at his left arm. In some fashion or another, he's got a gimpy arm. It's in all three photos...I think the Saudi picture is the same as suspect 2...I.E. the Saudi they let go knows who it is.

Wow, that is great sleuthing guys!

The missing person could be Sunil is the guy in the white hat? A Sleeper that got orders?

So these guys are leaning more toward ME?

The Saudi guy was seen with the one or both of the persons the FBI released?
