Investigators have revealed they have an image of a potential suspect taken from security footage before the deadly Boston Marathon bombings.
The picture is believed to have come from CCTV video taken before the twin attacks, in what could be the biggest breakthrough in the case.
It apparently shows a man carrying and possibly dropping a black bag at the second bomb scene on Boylston Street, outside the Forum restaurant, and then walking away.
The surveillance video is believed to have been taken at the Lord and Taylor department store between the sites of the two blasts, which were seconds and about 100 metres apart on the same road.
A forensic officer carries evidence from a rooftop near one of the blasts Mr Obama and First Lady Michelle will attend an interfaith service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross later today in the city.
Former Massachusetts Governor and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is also expected to attend.
It comes as police said no-one has been arrested over Monday's bombings, despite reports in the US media that a suspect was in custody.
The Associated Press earlier claimed a law enforcement official had said a person was detained and was set to be taken to the federal court in the city.
The FBI released images of parts of the bombs Other media outlets also reported there had been an arrest. But the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US attorney's office in Boston and the police disputed that.
"Despite reports to the contrary there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack," the Boston police department said on Twitter.
The FBI also said there had been "no arrests made," urging the media to "exercise caution".
Boston City Council president Stephen Murphy, who was 50 yards from one of the explosions, warned Sky News this investigation could be long and drawn out.
Martin Richard, eight, was killed in the explosions He said: "There were tens of thousands of people out there on Boylston Street and so much movement and so much going on and so much to look at, and everybody's emailing, texting tips, to law enforcement.
"People are poring over that."
The explosive devices involved pressure cooker bombs hidden inside duffel bags packed with nails, shards of metal and ball bearings, placed on the ground near the finish line of the race.
Chinese graduate student Lu Lingzi was with friends when she was killed Three people were killed and more than 170 others were injured in the twin blasts on Monday.
Those killed include eight-year-old Martin Richard, who was waiting to give his father a hug as he crossed the finish line; restaurant manager Krystle Campbell, 29, and Chinese graduate student Lu Lingzi, who was studying at Boston University.
Scores of victims remain in hospitals, many seriously injured. Seventeen people, one as young as give, remain in critical condition.
