Boston explosion: the scene near Copley Square
-----------------
Two bombs exploded near the finish of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least three people, injuring at least 100 others.

The bomb blasts ripped through the crowd near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

Police found two more bombs and disarmed them, officials said. A third blast from a controlled detonation was heard downtown, according to reports.

The marathon organizers announced the source of the explosions, which occurred in quick succession about 2:50 p.m. on Boylston Street near the intersection of Exeter Street, three hours after the winner had crossed the finish line. Some store fronts were blown out.
