Obama on Boston attacks: Those responsible will feel ‘weight of justice’


President Barack Obama vowed Monday to bring the "full weight of justice" down on those behind the bombing attacks in Boston. Obama, speaking at the White House, stopped short of explicitly blaming terrorists for the dramatic blasts that ripped through a crowd near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. But a White House official told reporters the incident would be treated as "an act of terror."

"The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight. And Michelle and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in the wake of this senseless loss," he said. Officials said the attack left at least two dead and some 80 injured.


“We still do not know who did this, or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts," Obama said in brief prepared remarks delivered in the briefing room. "But make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this. And we will find out who did this, we'll find out why they did this."

"Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice," Obama emphasized.
