A Chinese citizen was killed in the Boston Marathon bombings, the Chinese consulate in New York said. The press release did not identify the woman.
Boston University earlier confirmed that the person was a graduate student at the school.
The other two people killed in the attack were previously identified as 29-year-old Krystle Campbell and 8-year-old Martin Richard.

The lid of a pressure cooker was found on a roof near the scene of the Boston Marathon bombings, a federal law enforcement official with firsthand knowledge of the investigation tells CNN.
One of the bombs was housed in a pressure cooker hidden inside a backpack, the FBI said in a Joint Intelligence Bulletin. The device also had fragments that may have included nails, BBs and ball bearings, the agency said.
The second bomb was also housed in a metal container, but there's not enough evidence to determine whether it was also in a pressure cooker, the FBI said.
Discovery of the lid could yield vital clues as to the origin of the bomb. Ref. 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.
The source said what officials believe is a 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, this source said.
From that analysis, the source said, authorities believe that they have identified a suspect.
The source declined to be more specific but called it a significant development. Ref. CNN
Based on media and security footage it seems they have identified the perpetrator that caused the bombings at the Boston Marathon's finish line. Media sources are saying they have already made an arrest. Everyone awaits more details.
They haven't made an arrest yet, I think the media has to take a grip on what they're reporting because it spreads like wild fire. This is what I just read,

I saw the video via CNN. The video is not grainy or anything so they were fortunate to get these images. The actual faces cannot be seen but they are probably Arab or Hispanic.
