i'm carol costello, a new development in the terror attack in boston. investigators have found the lid, an entire lid to a pressure cooker believed to very been d used in the bombings. that was found on a rooftop and that shows the remains of a pressure cooker, a shredded black backpack and what appear to be metal pellets. the device contained a gallon and a half of killing powder. partial circuit board also found. suggesting it may have been detonated by timer. one of the bombs may have been hidden in this light-colored bag on the sidewalk. but as you can see in the later photos, the explosion was roughly where that bag sat. let's get the troubling takeaway. one former fbi official says the bombs bear the hallmarks of domestic and international terror. in other words, investigators appear no closer to naming a suspect. poring over before and after photos like these. for the victims, most of the 183 people have been released from the hospital and we now know more about the third person killed. a chinese graduate student at boston university. we'll learn
