what is the world turning into, this is SAD? 

This afternoon at least two people have been killed and up to 132 people have been injured as two bombs exploded almost simultaneously near the finish line of the Boston Marathon today, leaving behind a scene of carnage and putting the nation on edge.

It was revealed that an eight-year-old boy was one of the two people confirmed dead - after the twin detonations 12 seconds apart ripped through the cheering crowds lining Boston's streets at around 2.50 p.m.

My heart goes out to the people of Boston and to the lost souls may they rest in peace (Amen)

Authorities have said that a total of five devices were deployed in the city this afternoon, including the two which detonated. Police officials have said that they discovered a device at St. James and Trinity Streets that did not explode, while two other explosive devices were found Copley Square Hotel, including one in Newton which is just outside of Boston.

This evening, it has been reported that a potential suspect in the attacks is being guarded by police in an undisclosed hospital. Several reports now say a suspect is being guarded in a Boston hospital bed. One initial report said he was a Saudi Arabian national.

The reports claim the hospitalized suspect was himself injured by shrapnel from the finish line explosions and has severe injuries.
