The two men were photographed walking single file down Boylston Street near the finish line of Monday's marathon before the explosions that killed three people and wounded about 180. The man identified as "Suspect 2" was seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion "within minutes" of the blast, said Special Agent Rick DesLauriers, the head of the FBI's Boston office.
"Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, co-workers or family members of the suspects," DesLauriers said. "And though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward and provide it to us."
But he cautioned that the men should be considered armed and "extremely dangerous."

"No one should approach them. No one should attempt to apprehend them except law enforcement," he said. Anyone with information should call the bureau's toll-free number, 800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324), he added.
In particular, DesLauriers asked for help from anyone standing in front of the Forum restaurant, where the second bombing happened.
Suspect 1 was seen wearing a light-colored, collarless shirt underneath a dark-colored jacket and wearing a dark baseball cap.
A man in dressed in similar fashion to Suspect 2 -- in a light-colored hooded sweatshirt, a black jacket and a white baseball cap turned backward -- had been identified as a possible suspect in the attack on Wednesday by two sources with knowledge of the investigation. A law enforcement official who was being briefed on the investigation regularly said images showing two men near the marathon finish line were being circulated to state and federal law enforcement agencies Wednesday evening.
