Boston Marathon explosions
The daunting task of sifting through thousands of images of the Boston Marathon bombing site in search of a culprit suddenly telescoped to a single video from a Lord & Taylor security camera Wednesday. The second full day of the investigation into the attack that killed three people and injured at least 176 brought jitters, rumors and at least the hope that investigators had made important progress, though Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick (D) said that while the probe is “making some progress . . . it’s going to be slow, it’s going to be methodical.”
The mean, who are carrying black bags of the type found at the scene, are visible on video of each of the two bombing sites. An official, who spoke to the Globe on condition of anonymity, said the best video came not from the Lord & Taylor store across Boyleston Street from the bombings, as has been widely discussed, but from surveillance cameras on the same side of the street as the explosions.
It is not yet known when authorities will hold a briefing. President Obama is scheduled to attend a memorial service at 11 a.m.
CNN reported Wednesday night that investigators had been circulating photos to federal and state agencies of two “possible suspects.” The New York Post has what are purported to be photos of the men, and reported that authorities know their names but have insufficient evidence to make an arrest.
