Bomb blasts strike Boston Marathon amid terror fears
President Obama pledged federal help while investigators questioned a Saudi national and sought a Penske truck. Explosions near Boylston Street killed at least three and injured many as responders rushed runners to hospitals. Officials said devices were small and unsophisticated and that two more were found and dismantled. Community members aided stranded runners amid a citywide lockdown of communication. The incident remains under investigation with no confirmed suspects.
