The FBI today released photos and video of two suspects in the deadly Boston Marathon terror bombings case, appealing to the public to help law enforcement officials find them.

“Somebody out there knows these individuals,” said Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the Boston FBI office. He said the two men are considered “armed and dangerous.”

DesLauriers described the two men as Suspect No. 1 and Suspect No. 2. Suspect No. 1 was wearing a dark hat. Suspect No. 2 was wearing a white hat.

DesLauriers said Suspect No. 2 was observed planting a bomb, leaving it in place shortly before it went off.

“Within minutes,” he said at a news conference at a Boston hotel.

Asked if he knew where the suspects went, he said Suspect No. 2 had gone west on Boylston Street after planting the bomb. It wasn’t known where the other suspect went, he said.

He said, “As you can see, the quality of the photographs is quite good, but we will continue to work on developing additional images.” The officials said the images would be distributed to the media and posted on the FBI’s website. Video of the two men was also posted to Youtube.

The FBI asked people with photos, videos, and other information to e-mail them to boston@ic.fbi.gov. It also said people can call 1-800-CALL-FBI, prompt #3, to leave tips.

DesLauriers said investigators were particularly interested in interviewing witnesses who were in front of the Forum restaurant, site of one of the blasts.
