One of the suspects in the attack in Boston was killed - a fact confirmed by the city police chief. The youngster died of his wounds in a hospital in Massachusetts, after being shot during clashes with the police.

His partner in crime fled and the American FBI and police conduct a combined manhunt after him. "This is an armed and dangerous terrorist," warned security officials, and instructed the local residents to stay indoors and ordered to shut down public transportation in the area. According to security officials, there is concern that the suspect carries more explosives.

The second suspect was involved in a shootout with the police. Hundreds of police and FBI agents were placed tonight in the towns Watertown and Cambridge, suburbs of Boston, and set up a roadblock encompassing 20 blocks to capture the man.

According to U.S. media, the two are two brothers who emigrated from Chechnya.

Townspeople were to stay home and open the door, only to those who would identify themselves as a police officer or FBI tag bearer. Boston police go door to door questioning residents in an attempt to locate the fugitive terrorist.

The police chase began at night when the police opened the hunt for a young man suspected of fatally shooting a police officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus, and fled to Watertown. At the same time a closure was imposed on the residential neighborhood in which, allegedly, those responsible for the attack are found.

Yesterday (Thursday) the FBI issued pictures of two suspects in the Boston Marathon, in which three people were killed and 176 injured.

In a dramatic press conference at the Sheraton Hotel in the city, not far from the scene of the explosions, the head of U.S. Bureau uncovered the pictures of two young men - and called on the public to assist in locating them.

The two were recorded by security cameras of the marathon, and they are suspected of laying the charge shortly before the explosion. Then, it is suspected that the two continued their walk down Boylston Street and disappeared from the police. CNN reported that the suspects remained on the scene to witness the results of the attack.

The video circulated by the FBI on its website shows the first suspect as he walks in the marathon spectators, while the second suspect goes a little behind. The two did not exchange a word between them, in the documentation. Both were carrying bulky packages.

The first suspect, is heavyset. The second suspect is thinner. Both are in their late 20s. Each carried a black backpack, the remains of a similar bag were found in the explosion.

Head of the FBI warned that the two men are armed and very dangerous. "The suspected are militants and probably very dangerous. One should not make any contact with them. If you know something about their identity, contact the police."
