Image of "Suspect #2" Released; Will Be Announced Presently at 5PM (ET) Briefing

Updated: Pictures here. Half the world just clicked on that link so there might be some lag.

Another site: Legal Insurrection grabbed all the pictures.

I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed. These pictures are not very clear. I don't know if these pictures are going to be enough to ID these guys.

Note the bag at his feet.

As this local Fox video report notes, if there's a "Suspect Number Two," obviously there's a "Suspect Number One" we haven't heard about.

While we're waiting for that, take a grain of salt, and note that an anonymous source in the Obama Administration tells the NYPost that there's a fifty/fifty chance the West, Texas plant explosion was arson.

A senior Obama administration official said a series of briefings overnight have produced concern the Texas blast could have been at least criminal in nature. Authorities are trying to contain their speculation for fear of causing a panic, but the official told The Post the cause of the blast is "suspicious."

Authorities suspect the blast was set off by a truck or rail car holding a large quantity of ammonia that somehow caught fire or blew up. Ammonia, under certain conditions, can become combustible or explosive.

"It's 50-50," the source said. "Some sort of explosion caused the ammonia truck/rail car to create a shockwave up to a half-mile away, destroying that little town."
