nails. also seeing, as you said, parts of what appears to be a circuit board, also a timing device. as well, there is a nylon bag into which this metal container or containers were placed. they believe they probably used a nylon bag, a backpack or some other type of bag in which these were placed then put on the ground to try to do maximum damage. these items that were put inside are providing the deadly shrapnel that was that what happened when it blew up that injured so many people and took the lives of at least three. when you look at these things, you see how someone was able to put these devices together. we have some animation to show you as well. this is sort of indicating when they put gunpowder inside with these pieces of shrapnel, and they were ignited. when the gunpowder ignited. the pressure built up inside this container, according to our
battery and bits and pieces of what looks to be a circuit board. reuters saying the government official who did not want to be identified shared these photos along with these images of a mangled pressure cooker. as we look at the different photos, one appears to be a cluster, you see tiny bbs likely fused together and shot out after the heat of this blast. the fbi saying the second bomb was also in some sort of metal container. all those doctors saying they were finding the bbs and nails in the patients they were treating. and word that boston area hospitals released at least 100 of the 183 people injured in monday s attack. we re learning more about the third person killed, identified as a chinese grad student studying at boston university. we are respecting her family s wishes. we are not releasing her name at this time. we re following every new
board. reuters says a government official who did not want to be identified released these pictures. also these images, images of the pressure cooker investigators believe held the bomb. badly mangled when the device detonated. and in another photo, you can see what appears to be a cluster of bbs which were likely melted together by the heat of the explosive. again, the shrapnel that injured so many people. investigators also say the second bomb was in some kind of metal container. not sure what kind yet, but they re looking into that as we speak. we want to check in on the day s other developing stories. zoraida sambolin is in new york for that. good morning. good morning to you. happening now, funeral services for former british prime minister margaret thatcher. they re about to get underway in london. it begins with a two-mile procession through london, she will receive a ceremonial funeral with full military honors. margaret thatcher was a controversial figure during her
attack on the other side of the boston public library was packed into a pressure cooker. the second was found inside some kind of a metal container, it s still unclear if it was a pressure cooker as well. national correspondent susan candiotti is live in boston as well this morning with more on the investigation. susan, good morning. what are you learning? reporter: good morning. we are talking about pressure cookers. these are pots that you would cook in. that s what we re talking about here when we talk about the people who responsible, one or more than one for putting together a homemade bomb. you can t look at these things often enough to see the hard work these investigators are doing trying to track down who is involved in this terrorist attack. we can see parts of the metal container, twisted bits and pieces of metal and also seeing
where they re being analyzed for dna, fibers and to learn more about the bomb parts. fox news is told the circuit board has been recovered issues a sign that it was some kind of cell phone detonation and other components are relatively intact. this bodes well for the investigation. this f.b.i. bulletin obtained by fox news, confirms that they just know that one of the bombs was a pressure cooker, the shrapnel was nails, ball bearings and bb s. the second device is so badly fragmented, it s described as a metal container, it s too broken up to know for sure. neil: this whole back and forth as to whether they had a suspect, was a lot of that based on conflicting signals out of authorities, some way apart from the f.b.i. or just confusion within the media? well, it s probably a little bit of both. just to kind of lay out some of the data points, we had information earlier today that the nctc felt there was very
