My thoughts and prayers go to the people of the City of Boston, that hallowed cradle of American liberty, which has recently suffered from a double-bombing today at its Patriots' Day Marathon and the JFK Library. Two people have perished and twenty-three more have been injured, with a further two or three explosive devices found by Boston's Police Force.

This is a disgusting act and those who committed it have no shame. I can only hope whoever is responsible will be found and brought to justice. This must not stand.
