cnn news 2013-04-23

A lot going on this hour, but first we arefocusing on the bombing investigation. Our Susan Candiotti joins me with thebreaking news. What have we learned, Susan?

We learned from a federal law enforcementofficial who irregularly briefed on the investigation that images of two menthere are two photographs we are talking about here, are being circulated amonglaw enforcement around the country and those agencies and law enforcement officersare being asked to beyond look out for these people because they are possiblesuspects, possible we emphasize and of high interest. Now the reason we arebeing told that there is high interest in these people, is because of thetiming of where they were right near the finish line before the blast went offand also because of what they have with them what they are carrying. In thiscase, at least one of them is carrying what appears to be a dark-colored backpack. And they have also circulated a memo, so to speak among that agency and describeit this way. It says attached photos are being circulated in an attempt toidentify the individuals, highlighted therein. Feel free to pass this around toany of your fellow agents elsewhere. We know also that authorities do not yetknow the names of these people, so they truly are trying to find them andcalling them possible suspects.

So let's be very clear and what we know andwhat we don't know. You have actually seen one of these photos, one of these photosis in the possession, I believe or both of these photos.

I have seen them both.

You have seen them both. They're in thepossession of cnn, but we are not releasing them, we are not showing them onthe air because we don't want to do anything that would affect investigation inany way.

Exactly, because if we show them, theydon't know who these are, we don't want to be one part of tipping these peopleoff.

We are also just for the record not goingto any descripted information about the individuals in these photos. We aredoing that on purposes.

Exactly, that's right. Don't want to givetoo much way.

Ok. So again botteline, there are two photosof two individuals. It's fair to call them person of interest, not evensuspects, just persons of interest people that, the law enforcement wants totalk to these people, wants to learn more about these people. Would like toidentify them by name and find them. That's the latest.

Exactly. Exactly. And they are very hopefulthat they will be able to find these people. That's why they are spreading themaround to so many people to tell others. Do you recognize them?

Right. Great reporting. Susan Candiotti,appreciate the update. I want to bring in Tom Fuentes, cnn analyst, former FBIassistant director with extensive experience investigating terrorist attackslike this one. Tom, what do you make of this development?

Hi, Anderson. Suzen is exactly right. Ithink they are trying circulated among law enforcement That's the first chanceto try to identify to one of those individuals, not to have individuals at thistime put out over the media what they realize they are suspects and maybe leavethe country or make it harder to locate them. So I think it's strategy choiceto try it do in this way, the idea being that maybe if they can apprehend oneof them or both, but specifically one, that person make cooperate and give up.The identity of others that may have been involved if there's more than oneperson involved. And again, the other people would not be alerted to flee, if,in fact, it's not public yet who they are. Now that's hard to decision to make.They are balancing the fact that if they put picture out in public. They aregoing to have much easier chance. But at the same time, they are going toflooded with leads from, you know thousands of extra leads and they're alreadycovering thousands of leads. It's a difficult strategy decision to make on thepart of the commanders. And I think that's probably what they have beenwrestling with all day today. But they have great photos of a couple of people,but how they want to go about apprehending them。
