Explosions at the Boston Marathon

There have been two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon today. Initial reports are that two people have been killed and twenty-two more people injured. The explosion occurred about three hours after the elite runners had finished. Authorities have not identified the perpetrator(s), but Boston Police are "pursuing leads."

From Fox News we have this photo:

Mail On-line is reporting that an eight-year-old boy is one of three who have died, and another 144 have injuries. Seventeen people are critical.
A potential suspect in the Boston marathon attacks is being guarded by police in a local hospital, according to reports. A civilian claimed the person was acting suspiciously and chased him down and tackled him after the explosions.
The man is badly burned. He is a Saudi national.
