Authorities have no suspect in custody.

Members of congress have cited the incidents as acts of terrorism.
California Democrat Sen. Diane Feinstein said "My understanding is that it's a terrorist incident".
President Obama, on the other hand, wasn't as certain. The president informed listeners that the authorities "still do not know who did this or why." While he did not declare the incidents acts of terror, he did assure that "Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice".

ORIGINAL STORY: 12:00 PM | Two explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line have left many injured.
Wounded spectators were transported Monday to the medical tent set up for fatigued runners.
Approximately three hours after the winners crossed the finish line, an explosion sounded on the north side of Boylston St., right before the finish line. A second explosion was heard seconds later.
Ali Laffer, a junior at Emerson College in Boston, said that she and her friends can't go anywhere.
"It's really scary. Everyone is just trying to get in touch with friends and loved ones," said the 21-year-old.
Laffer said the phone lines are down, but Wifi and data plans are working as of 12:50 p.m. PST.
