(CNN) -- Investigators believe they have identified a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, a source who has been briefed on the investigation told CNN's John King exclusively.
The breakthrough came from analysis of video from a department store near the site of the second explosion. Video from a Boston television station also contributed to the progress, said the source, who declined to be more specific but called it a significant development.
Earlier, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene.
While such clues may move the investigation forward, they did not reveal whether the attack was an act of domestic or foreign terrorism.

Read the rest, they are really reaching for the foreign terror meme ....
The President and First Lady have planned to go to Boston so the Ricin letters are not slowing them down. Good on them.
From the comments Gooserock has found report that there are suspects for the letters .
In related news, wish the bombing ongoing in Iraq would get some coverage. Those poor people over there....
