White House: Boston Explosion ‘Appears To Be’ Terror Attack [View all]
The explosions that struck the Boston marathon on Monday "appear" to be to a terrorist attack, according to the White House.
"Any event with multiple explosive devices -- as this appears to be -- is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror," the official said in a statement, according to Politico.
"We don’t yet know who carried out this attack, and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic," the official added.
Addressing the nation on the attacks, President Barack Obama also urged the American people to show restraint before all of the facts have emerged.
