Outside of the obvious motives and possible connections related to this event, there's a couple things that I'd love to know the background on.
1) When the FBI released the pictures/video yesterday did they already have an ID on these guys and already watching them? Did they released the video to simply end all of the internets speculation and media fumbling of things and to ultimately get these guys to move?
Or did the FBI simply not know who they were until the events unwraveled last night with the 7-11 robbing and then quickly tied things together?
Which is question 2) If you've been fingered as a bombing suspect and under the scrutiny of the entire US invesitgation bureau...why rob a gas station? Was it simple panic and an attempt to make a cash grab and GTFO out of Boston? I'd have to think that there would be more subltle ways to sneak out.
