FBI asks public to help identify two Boston bomb suspects
BOSTON: The US Federal Bureau of Investigation on Thursday released photos and videos of two men sought as suspects in the Boston bombings, urging the public to help identify them.

"No bit of information... is too small for us to see," Richard DesLauriers, the agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office, told a press conference, adding that the photos were available for public view at www.fbi.gov.

The FBI posted several pictures of the two men -- who investigators consider to be armed and extremely dangerous -- at www.fbi.gov, as well as video footage of the pair.

"For more than 100 years, the FBI has relied upon the public to be its eyes and ears," DesLauriers said. "Somebody out there knows these individuals."

Investigators are poring over evidence gathered in the wake of the twin blasts, which killed three and wounded around 180 others.

DesLauriers said no other information would be released, telling reporters: "This is our focus now."
