Any thoughts on the scenario outlined in the OP?

20:13 GMT: An intelligence official working on the scene told the Associated Press that two additional explosive devices were found near the site, and are being dismantled by a bomb squad.

He appears to be moving somewhat quickly in that pic, it would be harder to one strap a backpack at that point.
That black highlighted portion can eaaily be his clothing, I don't think he has a backpack on there.
Plus, there's the pic (the one that shows the 8yr old boy by the railing) where you can see white cap brother and his backpack is already on the ground... And it looks exactly like his silver/white colored bag.
So either he's walking by and someone else placed an identical bag on the ground, or he left his bag there and walked away bagless. My vote is for the latter, it just makes the most logical sense.

So the intelligence officer working the scene wasn't just nameless, he was also incompetent.

Let's look at this from a different angle, are you suggesting he got scared and ran off with his bomb? Wouldn't he use that in his confession to try and get a lesser charge? It's not like giving up his brother is a bad thing, he's dead. If I chickened out and didn't blow my bag that's the FIRST thing I would tell the cops.
