New crime scene photographs of the remnants of the first bomb which detonated during Monday's Boston marathon shows that a six-liter pressure cooker was used in at least one of the deadly charges - as experts described the devices as military-style 'anti-personnel' devices.
The images - released by the Joint Terrorist Task Force - show the wreckage of a stainless steel pressure cooker with an Underwriters Laboratory safety mark and an imprint that reads gas or electric, with experts describing the devices as military-style 'anti-personnel' devices.
