Boston blasts claim three lives
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Number of victims of two blasts in Boston reached three persons, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.

According to Davis, one more person died at the hospital. Ed Davis said that about 160 people were wounded in the result of blasts.

Two bombs ripped through the crowd at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, 15 April 2013. Law enforcement bodies are saying that the blasts were terrorism acts.

Investigators found what could be five additional, undetonated explosive devices around the Boston area, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing two unnamed people briefed on the investigation.

The Boston Marathon has been held on Patriots Day, the third Monday of April, since 1897. The event, which starts in Hopkinton, Massachusetts and ends Boston’s Copley Square, attracts an estimated half-million spectators and some 20,000 participants every year.
