2013 bombing
On April 15, 2013, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, two radical Chechen[1] brothers, detonated a pair of bombs near the finish line of the marathon. In response, the race was terminated, and thousands of runners were prevented from crossing the finish line. Three spectators were killed and 264 people were wounded.
