Authorities have released video and still photos of two suspects they hope the public can help them to identify.

The FBI has released photos and videos of two suspects in Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, which killed three people and injured nearly 200.

At a press conference Thursday, Special agent Richard DesLauriers said the FBI has developed two suspects in the case and are looking for the public's help to identify them.

DesLauriers said Suspect #2 is seen setting down a bag in front of a restaurant at the site of the second explosion.

Authorities believe the suspects are connected and appeared to be walking through the crowd together.

"We know the public will play a critical role in identifying and locating these individuals. Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, coworkers or family members of the suspects," said DesLauriers.

You can see all of the photos at the FBI website. Anyone with information about these men can contact officials at boston@ic.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), and select prompt #3.
