According to the news:

Two explosions occurred near the finish line at Monday’s Boston Marathon, killing at least three people and injuring more than 100. 

The explosions went off near 671 Boylston on opposite sides of the street near Copley Square around 2:50 p.m., about halfway through the race.

Though there are initial news that third explosion occurred at the John F. Kennedy Library in Dorchester, but they have suggested that the incident may not be an explosion but a fire.

U.S. President Barack Obama had vowed that whoever’s accountable on the explosion will be found and brought to justice.

“We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” he told reporters at the White House shortly after 6 p.m. “But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this … Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.”

Yes, the perpetrator should be brought to justice and be responsible to face the consequences of all the lives he took in this tragedy.  The whole world is praying for the families and friends affected by the bombing.  Our thoughts and prayers goes with all of you.
