MANHATTAN (CSBMiami) -- The FBI has released photos of two men who were witnessed leaving an explosive device along a Manhattan street.

The photo was taken on West 27th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Manhattan, between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 17th, within the same hour that an explosive device had detonated on West 23rd Street.

The FBI said they are not considered suspects and are interested in speaking to these individuals and recovering the luggage.
