Cops are seeking these two men (above) who were spotted near the site of the Boston blasts. Investigators probing the deadly Boston Marathon bombings are circulating photos of two men spotted chatting near the packed finish line, The Post has learned.

In the photos being distributed by law-enforcement officials among themselves, one of the men is carrying a blue duffel bag. The other is wearing a black backpack in the first photo, taken at 10:53 a.m., but it is not visible in the second, taken at 12:30 p.m.

“The attached photos are being circulated in an attempt to identify the individuals highlighted therein,” said an e-mail obtained by The Post. “Feel free to pass this around to any of your fellow agents elsewhere.”

You can tell if they’re legal or illegal just by looking?

I think he still has the backpack on in the second photo. It’s just underexposed.

So what happened to this guy?

That guy needs to be ID'd and investigated.

Two points though: the way he is holding the bag makes it hard to believe that it is heavy or bulky enough to contain a pressure cooker filled with nails, ball bearings and gunpowder. But you never know, photos can be deceiving.

Second point is, I think the bag residue in the photo is from the 2nd bombing site. (The photo of this guy with the bag is from the 1st bombing site.) What was reported is that at the 2nd bombing site, the Lord & Taylor store camera showed a dark-skinned guy with a backwards white hat depositing the bomb bag.

Now maybe this guy was working with that guy, and they used the same type of bag at both locations. But anyway this guy needs to be checked out, he is at the critical location holding a suspicious bag.

What exactly do you not find convincing about the superimposed photo? The two guys' position at "ground zero," with respect to the Forum cafe's sidewalk rail, is exact. OK, I'm going to post the superimposed version here ... to see the photos separately, go to http://imgur.com/a/f2iNp

I bet the stupid news media will skip over the fact that the ricin mailer is a democrat. if he were a Republican then that’s all we would hear about on the TV,radio, Internet etc.

Moroccans are Berbers, which is a subset of Arabs.

It’s unconvincing as evidence that they did anything, even assuming it’s correct as to ground zero.

Saudi National in Boston Bombing being deported on “National Security Grounds”

4/17/13 | Pamela Geller

Steve Emerson just broke the shocking news that the Saudi National, Abdul al-Harbi, first questioned in the Boston bombing, is going to be deported on “national security grounds.” He is from a very powerful Saudi family with many terrorist ties. Abdul al-Harbi is a devout Muslim from Medina.

I said it takes longer than 15 hours to investigate all of Abdul al-Harbi’s relatives, friends, acquaintances, and business and school friends.

Perhaps a quick look at the Arabic sources should raise the eyebrows of every American relative to the extent of the problem at hand. Many from Al-Harbi’s clan are steeped in terrorism and are members of Al-Qaeda. Out of a list of 85 terrorists listed by the Saudi government shows several of Al-Harbi clan to have been active fighters in Al-Qaeda:

When I heard he was from a very powerful Saudi family, I worried about this kind of thing happening.

Secretary of State Kerry’s meeting with the Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Al-Faisal was abruptly closed to the press the day Abdul al-Harbi was being questioned. There is no doubt in my mind that this was discussed.

Today’s embarassing display of rolling incompetence and badly mangled leaks led to numerous cancellations of press conferences, mis-identified suspects, promises of imminent arrest, walking back the arrest announcement, and more. They said they would release a statement and then said they wouldn’t.

Very smelly.

He is still clearly wearing the backpack in this photo, where the NY Post claims it’s gone.

Thanks...great links. But after reading some of the posts here, like #51 above, I’m not so sure the NY Post is correct. the mods have not taken this down yet, so perhaps they have not seen the alleged refutations...or nothing has been confirmed.
