Investigators have identified the face of a Boston marathon suspect using security video that filmed the moments before two blasts ripped through central Boston on Monday - in what is potentially the biggest break in the case yet.
According to Reuters, a law enforcement source confirmed that the FBI want to speak to the individual seen on cameras filmed from a nearby Lord and Taylor department store which reportedly show this man planting the second bomb while talking on his cellphone.
Investigators say the man is seen at the site of the second explosion wearing a black jacket, a grey hooded sweatshirt, about 6 feet or 6-feet-2-inches tall with a medium build and a white or off-color-white baseball cap backwards placing a back-pack on the ground.
The video obtained by the FBI captures this lone man using his cellphone at the moment the first explosion detonated 100 yards away on Boylston Street on Monday and 12 seconds before the second blast close to where he is standing.
According to CBS investigators are now going through cell phone logs to determine who made calls from that location near the time of the explosions.
Other sources have said the FBI is working with a list of names of cell phone owners and attempting to match one of those to the unknown man on the surveillance.
Authorities have said they are seeking this man either as a witness or indeed as a possible suspect and do not know his name. At this point, federal officials stressed no arrests have been made.
And late on Wednesday evening, CNN and Fox News reported that they had seen images designated for 'law enforcement eyes only' that show two men they consider to be of 'high interest'.
According to a reporter who has viewed the images, one of the men is wearing a backpack that matches one of the recovered bags believed to be have been used in the terror attack - while the other individual also is seen to have a bag.
