Bulgaria: Photos of Boston Suspects Released Photos of the two suspects, wearing baseball caps, near the scene of the blasts.

The FBI has released photos of two suspects it wants to identify as part of the investigation into Monday's Boston Marathon bombings.

CCTV captured the two men, one wearing a dark-coloured baseball cap and the other a white cap, near the scene.

FBI Agent Richard DesLauriers warned members of the public not to approach the two men.

Addressing a press conference in a Boston hotel on Thursday evening, DesLauriers said of the two suspects: "We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous."

He said footage showed the suspect in the white hat putting his backpack down at the site of the second explosion just in front of the Forum restaurant.

"We strongly encourage those who were at the Forum restaurant but haven't contacted us yet to do so," he said.

The FBI published the images on its website along with a 30-second video showing the men walking in single file a few paces apart along Boylston Street in central Boston.

DesLauriers added: "Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbours, co-workers, or family members of the suspects. Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward."

Three people were killed and more than 170 wounded when the two bombs exploded near the finish line of the race.

At least 14 victims, including three children, remain in hospital in a critical condition.

At least one of the Boston bombs was made from a pressure cooker packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators have told US media. The devices were placed in black bags and left on the ground.

US President Barack Obama earlier vowed at a memorial service for victims the perpetrators would be held accountable.
