The deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon that killed at least two and injured more than 80 is believed to be an act of terrorism, senior White House officials told Fox News.
Two explosions tore through the finish line of the world-famous race just before 3 p.m., going off simultaneously as throngs of onlookers watched runners complete the 26.2-mile trek. The timing of the blasts immediately sparked suspicions of a deliberate act. When multiple devices go off, thats an act of terrorism, a senior administration official told Fox News, just moments after President Obama delivered a statement to the nation and did not use the word terror.
The official stressed that with details still coming in, it is unclear whether a foreign entity like Al Qaeda was behind it or whether it was home-grown terrorism. As a result, this official said the administration did not want the president to get out too far ahead and directly call it terror.

Terrorism? Nah, marketing promotion for one of running shoe manufacturers. How many people must of lost their shoes in the explosion and have to replace them, huh?

... with not one trace of emotion, compassion or empathy and not using the words terror or terrorism.Sounded to me not unlike that of a farm-state AM radio announcer reading the commodities price report.
