Excerpt
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): In Boston today, confusion erupted over conflicting accounts that there had been a major break in the investigation of the bombings earlier this week.
Early this afternoon, crowds gathered outside the federal courthouse in South Boston, amid reports that a suspect had been identified by security camera video, then arrested and even taken to court. But the FBI shot down claims that anyone was in custody, and it issued a statement that said, in part: "Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media to exercise caution and attempt to verify information."
MAN: Another 100 hundred yards back.
JEFFREY BROWN: The Bureau also put off an afternoon briefing, citing a bomb scare that forced everybody out of the courthouse.
Earlier, the FBI released photos of remnants of the bombs made out of pressure cookers and the black nylon bags that concealed them. One of the pressure cooker lids was catapulted to a nearby rooftop. And investigators kept sifting the crime scene for more clues today. All three people killed in the bombings have now been identified, eight-year old Martin Richard, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, and Lu Lingzi, a Chinese graduate student at Boston University.
