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.”

I don't think so.

The Saudi national who was tackled "had no involvement," so we are told.

Maybe that is true in the literal sense. I.e., he may have had nothing to do with assembling or placing the bombs.

But how could the FBI conclude so quickly that he knew nothing about the plot?

And it it's true, as Steve Emerson says, that that Saudi national who "had no involvement" is going to be deported as a "national security risk," then ... what risk exactly did he pose?

I'd also like to hear from the bystander who tackled him. What did the bystander see that made him suspicious? Is the bystander being kept under wraps?

CBS (my only source) is claiming they will release the pix of the one suspect from the 2nd bomb site.

Saw that on twitter yesterday. That guy looks really suspicious, especially the way he’s holding the bag like it’s heavy.

How much you want to bet these two are back in Saudi Arabia now?

Why didn’t they lock down the whole area? They couldn’t have gotten away if a perimeter was sealed.

I took some FEMA disaster classes. They consistently emphasized we should expect a second explosion in the same vicinity as the first one.

The fact that this man ran may indicate he’s had military experience or is a doctor, nurse, paramedic or red cross worker. His training may have just kicked in.

Also, they’re saying they have clear pictures of each suspect with a black bag.

"Look Middle Eastern."

No. They are White Supremacists. They are just really tan because they are Southerners.

How hard is this? Stick with the script.

The bag has orange juice tucked in it in one photo. The guy is using it as an actual bag. There’s a small psychological block in people’s head that would have treated a bag with a bomb in it differently.

Maybe you would have a "small psychological block" in your head about tucking a bottle of juice in a pocket of a backpack carrying a bomb.

But then you would also be likely to have a "large psychological block" against strapping a bomb-laden backpack onto your back, in the first place.

A cold-blooded jihadist who is capable of that, is also capable of sticking an innocent-looking bottle of juice in his backpack - the better to deceive the infidels.

I would get a lawyer ready and file a lawsuit again the Post for this. What a bunch of idiots. Even if they are the terrorists why do this now when they have not been arrested. This country is such a joke.

John Miller was a journalist first. He interviewed bin Laden in Afghanistan in 1998.

It would appear that this is yesterday’s news. See Post 68 on this thread...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3009173/posts?q=1&;page=1

...which claims they have been identified and cleared.
**************************************************************
Duhhh -— then they must have changed into different jackets, clothes and hats! Or maybe, just maybe, the referenced Post 68 was bogus/incorrect?

And it would appear that they are moving away from the suicide bomb tactic now as well.
