“Deadly bombs strike Boston Marathon”.
E N D
Two bombs struck near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, turning a celebration into a bloody scene of destruction. The explosions sent smoke billowing into the air at Copley Square about 2:50pm just as hundreds of marathoners were finishing. The death toll has risen to three and scores were injured at the scene. Federal authorities are classifying the bombings as a terrorist attack, but it's not clear whether the origin was domestic or foreign. It was unclear who may have planted the marathon bombs. There were no credible threats before the race, a state government official said. There is no suspect in custody, but many people are being questioned, Davis said.
