Investigators comb through Boylston Street just beyond the finish line of the Boston Marathon, two days after two bombs exploded, Wednesday, April 17, 2013, in Boston. Authorities investigating the deadly bombings have recovered a piece of circuit board that they believe was part of one of the explosive devices, and also found the lid of a pressure cooker that apparently was catapulted onto the roof of a nearby building, an official said Wednesday.(AP Photo/Julio Cortez) ( Boston Marathon Explosions )
A morning commuter tears at a make-shift memorial two days after multiple bomb explosions killed three and wounded 176 in Boston, Massachusetts April 17, 2013. Boston Marathon bombing investigators on Wednesday entered the third day of their hunt with an emerging picture of the target: a suspect or suspects carrying heavy bags or backpacks made of dark nylon. While still unable to conclude whether a group or individuals were responsible for the attacks that killed three people and wounded 176, and whether they were foreign or American, investigators gathered enough evidence at the crime scene on Tuesday to slightly narrow their search.
