  • Story Text: Authorities searched the second crime scene of the Boston Marathon bombing on Wednesday (April 17), nearly two days after the twin bombs wreaked havoc in the city.
    FBI investigators dressed in white hazardous material suits could be seen working at the site where blood still stained the sidewalk.
    A nearly mile long stretch of Boylston street and those surrounding it have been cordoned off.
    The investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing is focusing on a suspect or suspects believed to have carried heavy bags or backpacks, but entered a third day on Wednesday without any arrests or word on who was responsible.
    The twin bombs which killed three people and injured 176 others, was the worst attack in the United States since security was stepped up across the country after the September 11, 2001 hijacked plane strikes.
    The explosions sprayed shrapnel far enough that police were collecting fragments from rooftops along the marathon's course.
    Investigators appeared to have gathered enough evidence at the crime scene on Tuesday (April 16) to slightly narrow their search, but it was also not known whether the perpetrators were domestic or foreign, U.S. officials said.
