I hope them,” FBI spokesman Jason Pack said. Investigators said they haven’t determined what was used to set off the explosives. Pressure cooker explosives have been used in international terrorism and have been recommended for lone-wolf operatives by al-Qa- ida’s branch in Yemen. But information on how to make the bombs is readily found online, and U.S. officials said Americans should not rush to judgment in linking the attack to overseas terrorists. DesLauriers said there had been no claim of responsibility for the attack. He urged people to come forward with anything suspicious, such as hearing someone express an interest in explosives or a desire to attack the marathon, seeing someone carrying a dark heavy bag at the race or hearing mysterious explosions recently. “Someone knows who did this,” the FBI agent said. The bombs exploded 10 or more seconds apart, tearing off victims’ limbs and spattering streets with blood, instantly turning the festive race into a hellish scene of confusion, horror and heroics. The blasts killed 8-year- old Martin Richard, of Boston, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, of Medford, and a third victim, iden- tified only as a graduate student at Boston University. Doctors who treated the wounded corroborated reports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intended to cause may- hem. “We’ve removed BBs, and we’ve removed nails from kids. One of the sickest things for me was just to see nails sticking out of a little girl’s body,” said Dr. David Mooney, director of the trauma center at Bos- ton Children’s Hospital. At Massachusetts General Hos- pital, all four amputations performed there were above the knee, with no hope of saving more of the legs, said Dr. George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery. “It wasn’t a hard decision to make,” he said. “We just completed the ugly job that the bomb did.” Obama plans to visit Boston on Thursday to attend an interfaith service in honor of the victims. He has traveled four times to cit- ies reeling from mass violence, most recently in December after the schoolhouse shooting in New- town, Conn. In the wake of the attack, security was stepped up around the White House and across the country. Police massed at federal buildings and transit centers in the nation’s capital, critical response teams deployed in New York City and security officers with bomb- sniffing dogs spread through Chi- cago’s Union Station.
