OBAMA: Boston attack 'an act of terrorism', Apr 16, 2013

"President Obama said Tuesday the FBI is investigating the Boston Marathon bombings as an "act of terrorism," but the perpetrators and motives remain a mystery. "What we don't yet know, however, is who carried out this attack or why, whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual," Obama said in brief remarks at the White House. "Clearly, we're at the beginning of our investigation," Obama said. "It will take time to follow every lead and determine what happened, but we will find out. We will find whoever harmed our citizens, and we will bring them to justice.""

Monday’s explosions at the Boston Marathon, one of America’s top sporting events, forced cities from New York to Los Angeles to go on high alert and conjured up memories of the September 11, 2001 attacks."
