This was an heinous and cowardly act and given what we now know about what took place. The FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism. Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians. It is act of terror. What we don't yet know however is who carried out this attack or why, what was planned and executed bya terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of malevolent individual.But we will find out. We will find who ever harmed our citizens and we will bring them to justice. The American people refused to be terrorized, because what the world saw in the aftermath, the explosions were stories of heroism and kindness and generosity and love. If you want to know who we are - and what America is, how we respond to evil, that’s it. Selflessly,compassionately, unafraid.
