I think the usual language would be alleged, not potential suspects.
Wouldn't alleged bombers be even stronger though? I would think "persons
of interest" would be toned down, and "alleged bombers" would be turning it

I'm talking about colloquial language and the drivers behind it, which
today are predominantly the media. So my expectations are that "people"
will very soon assume as synonyms "person of interest", "suspect ", and
"criminal"

To suggest it is all the same is to miss the subtle changes in language

Jacob, it's all that and worse, I'm sure. Why wouldn't be any different?
After all, there has been a terrorist attack in Boston, so one would expect
the state of the art in counter-terrorism in full force here!
