Images of Boston bombing potential suspect foundApril 18, 2013 - 09:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Officials investigating the Boston Marathon bombings say they have found images of a potential suspect from surveillance camera footage, according to BBC News. Boston City Council President Stephen Murphy, who was briefed by police, said a man was seen dropping off a bag at the scene. Earlier, the FBI denied widespread reports that a suspect had been arrested. Three people died in two blasts near the marathon's finish line on Monday, April 15. Dozens more people remain in hospital, many of them seriously injured. Murphy said detectives had spotted the potential suspect in surveillance footage from a nearby store. He said he didn't know if investigators had identified the man, but added: "They may be on the verge of arresting someone and that's good." Meanwhile, FBI said in a statement that "contrary to widespread reporting, there have been no arrests 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." Investigators have been sifting through thousands of pieces of evidence, ranging from video recorded on mobile phones to fragments of shrapnel removed from the victims' legs. Officials said a circuit board and battery pack - parts of a triggering mechanism - had been recovered and the lid of a pressure cooker, apparently blown off during the explosion, was found on the roof of a nearby building. The bombs are believed to have consisted of explosives placed in 1.6-gallon (6-litre) pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the bombs, which a source said had been placed in black bags and left on the ground.
