Boston bombings: Obama condemns 'act of terrorism'

Barack Obama

US President Barack Obama has condemned the bombings at the Boston Marathon as a "terrorist act". He said the attack had been a "heinous and cowardly act", but said it was not yet known who carried out the attack and why. The FBI has said there are "no known additional threats" beyond the two bombs which went off. Three people were killed, including an eight-year-old boy, and more than 150 injured by the bombs.
