Latest about Boston Marathon bombing: FBI reveals pressure cooker clues

One of those who died has been named as eight-year-old Martin Richard, from the Dorchester area of Boston. He was at the finishing line with his mother and sister, who were both seriously injured.

A second victim was named as Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager.

Boston University said the third person who died was a graduate student. In a statement on Tuesday, it said it was not releasing the name or any other information about the student pending permission from the family.
The Chinese consulate in New York later confirmed that the student who died was a Chinese national.

Bombs that targeted the Boston Marathon on Monday may have been packed in pressure cookers, investigators say.

Images from a joint Homeland Security and FBI bulletin show the remains of a dark backpack, a detonation device and mangled pieces of metal.

Three people were killed and more than 170 injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line of Monday's race.

Those who died were an eight-year-old boy, a woman aged 29 and a postgraduate student from China.

President Barack Obama will travel to Boston on Thursday for a memorial.
