Boston investigators hunt for blast videos, photos

April 16, 2013 10:04

US investigators are poring over video and photographs from the widely watched Boston Marathon for clues to determine who is responsible for two bombs that exploded near the finish line on Monday, killing three people and injuring more than 100, officials said.

Because the Boston Marathon is run by 27,000 people and some 500,000 come to watch every year, officials expect plenty of visual evidence into what happened before and after two devices exploded as hundreds of runners streamed to the finish line at Copley Plaza in Boston's Back Bay neighbourhood.

As of now, no agency had found any evidence that there was any obvious warning of the attack, nor has any claim of responsibility for the attacks surfaced.

"There were no known threats," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.
