There are at least 176 people who were injured in the blast; some of them losing limbs. And there were 3 who were killed; an 8-year-old boy among them.

There were "two and only two" bombs, and no other explosive devices were found. Police and FBI agents working on the case say they have no suspects at this time.

There have been varying numbers of those injured, some saying more than 130; while the AP stating over 140 were injured.

One of the three killed in the blasts was an 8-year-old boy, a spectator of the 26-mile run.

President Obama spoke about the bombings, saying that whoever is responsible will "feel the full weight of justice."

Several media reports noted that the FBI is treating the attacks as an "act of terrorism," although no group or individual has yet claimed responsibility.
