One of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings was captured after a firefight with police, a US official said today after the FBI released pictures and videos of two men in connection with the incident.
According to the official with knowledge of the investigation, one suspect has been captured, the Boston Globe reported.
Earlier, the FBI released pictures and videos of two suspects and sought the public's help in identifying the men who are seen carrying backpacks near the finish line of the race before the blasts that killed three persons and injured over 180 on Monday.
The men, named 'Suspect 1 and Suspect 2', were wearing caps and carrying backpacks. The FBI did not give any information about the ethnicity or nationality of the two young men.
The agency said one of the suspects set down a backpack at the site of the second explosion in front of a restaurant.
"After a very detailed analysis of photo, video, and other evidence, we are releasing photos of the two suspects...They appear to be associated," FBI Special Agent in-charge Richard DesLauriers told reporters.
He said the agency has relied on the public to be its "eyes and ears" and people could play a critical role in identifying and locating the suspects.
