Obama Makes Statement on Boston Bombings:
(CNN)- President Barack Obama said he ordered the “full resources” of the federal government to respond to the Boston bombings on Monday, and that he also called for increased security around the United States as necessary.
“We still do not know who did this or why,” he said from the Brady Press Briefing Room, cautioning people against jumping to conclusions. “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 individuals or groups responsible for the “senseless” bombing, he added, will “feel the full weight of justice.”
“The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight,” he said.
