April 16, 2013 23:54

The London Marathon will go ahead this weekend despite the bombings that caused carnage at the Boston Marathon, but security has been reviewed, organisers and police said today.

Three people were killed and more than 170 wounded, some with horrific injuries, in twin explosions as runners approached the finish line in Boston yesterday, in the worst attack in the United States since the September 11, 2001 atrocities.

The FBI vowed to go "to the ends of the Earth" to find those responsible.
