No backpack. The second suspect is also in the photo, to the right of the lady in pink

That guy kind of looks like a middle eastern teenager, tbh. Sorry shaka $:-\$

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #243 on:** April 18, 2013, 08:41:06 PM »

That's exactly what I thought, honestly. $:-\$

I'm 80% sure the guy wearing the white cap is Middle Eastern.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #244 on:** April 18, 2013, 08:45:11 PM »

Looks more like Christopher Moltisanti me. Sorry Blue Tsunami $:-\$

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #245 on:** April 18, 2013, 08:48:08 PM »

The other suspect, at least from the other photos circulating, also looked like a Middle Easterner. $:-\$

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #246 on:** April 18, 2013, 08:53:11 PM »

he could have put his bag down while watching, heard the explosion, then ran without giving a crap about his bag. These before and after photos aren't cutting it...

The FBI says they have video of him putting down his backpack in almost the exact spot of the second explosion.

Okay, to throw a curve in the whole "guess the ethnicity of the terrorist" game, here in Canada we recently had a situation where a group of youths, one being from the middle east, but one being a Korean-Canadian and one being a Greek-Canadian, converted to radical Islam and travelled to Algeria where they took part in that gas plant attack back in January.

So, even if the dude's "white", that doesn't preclude the possibility of it being an attack related to radical islamist terrorism.

Of course, it could still be right-wing whackos, or anarchists, or who-the-fuck-knows-right-now.

Some redditors seems convinced the guy in the white hat is a guy who went missing a month ago named Sunil Tripathi, and some are posting about it on the family's Facebook page about the search for him. Fucking internet detectives.
