The world is still in shock over what happened at the Boston Marathon yesterday and US President Barack Obama vowed to bring those responsible to justice.

Three people, including an eight year old boy, were killed and over 100 people were injured following explosions during the marathon in the city and news outlets throughout the world last night were dominated by pictorial and video evidence of the chaotic aftermath.

Speaking last night, US President Barack Obama sent his deepest thoughts and prayers to the victims and while he said that nobody should jump to conclusions until the facts have been established, he vowed that those responsible would be identified and brought to justice.
