“Today we are enlisting the public’s help to identify the two suspects,” said Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office. “They are identified as suspect 1 and suspect 2. They appear to be associated.” DesLauriers added: “At this time these are the people of interest to the FBI.”

The men were seen strolling on Boylston Street before the explosions rang out. “As you can see from one of the images suspects 1 and 2 appear to be walking together through the marathon crowd on Boylston Street in the direction of the finish line,” DesLauriers said. He urged citizens to keep an eye out for the two men, but not to approach them.

“We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous,” DesLauriers said. “No one should approach them. No one should attempt to apprehend them but law enforcement.” Photographs show Suspect 2 putting down a backpack in front of the Forum restaurant, where the second of twin bombs went off on Monday, feds said.

“For 100 years, the FBI has relied on the public to be its eyes and ears,” DesLauriers said. "We know the public will play a critical role in identifying and locating these individuals. Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, co-workers or family members. “Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward.”

Two men probed in Boston Marathon bombings cleared by investigators

The two men whose photos were being circulated internally among police have been cleared as authorities determined that neither man had any role in the Boston Marathon bombings.

Investigators have now cleared the two men whose pictures were circulated last night in an email among law enforcement officials, sources told The Post today.

Authorities determined neither had any information or role in Monday’s attacks at the Boston Marathon.

The pictures, which were distributed yesterday evening in an attempt to identify them, show the two men standing with a backpack and duffel bag near the finish line, where a pair of bombs killed three and maimed 176.

Meanwhile, sources said today that the feds have an image from a store video camera of a person of interest. They also have an image of a potential witness that was captured on film, though that person is not considered a suspect, the sources said.

Authorities have not decided whether to publicly release any photos today.

Sources said the investigation could be a prolonged effort.

“It's not like we're going to have somebody in cuffs in five minutes but it is evolving,” said a federal law enforcement source.
