USAfrica, Houston: “We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this.

And we will find out who did this, we’ll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.” Those were the initial reaction of President Barack Obama at a quickly arranged press conference on Monday afternoon after two bomb exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon a few hours earlier.

The explosions killed at least three persons, including an 8-year old and injured more than 140; some very critically from shattered glass and pieces of metal which also caused some severed limbs.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the bombing as “all the more appalling for taking place at an event renowned for bringing people together from around the world in a spirit of sportsmanship and harmony.”

The U.S joint security team of FBI, Police and anti-terrorism officers, USAfricaonline.com has learned, have swung into investigations.
