First plan was to attack Boston on July 4, officials say

The surviving suspect told investigators he and his brother initially planned to detonate explosives during the July Fourth celebration, officials said.

Copley Square a place to mourn, heal after bombings

The memorial to the victims of the Boston Marathon attack has grown steadily and shows no signs of fading.

“The problem in this city is anything that happens, they say, ‘It’s Muslims.’ I am a Muslim,” said Tarek Ahmed, who called 911 for a man fleeing the Marathon bombing suspects. “They could have killed me. After everything finished, no one protected me.”

The movie that re-creates Thor Heyerdahl’s 1947 crossing of the Pacific on a raft is caught between a Boy’s Own Adventure and a character study of a charming monomaniac.

Ideas

“The legal process is intended to help the people who were actually hurt in the Marathon bombings, or had loved ones die. If it’s not a very good vehicle for working though our emotions as a society, that might actually be one of its virtues.”
