Boston Marathon explosions: Aftermath and reaction

Snipers take positions on a rooftop during the manhunt in Watertown, Massachusetts, for the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing who is still at large. Thousands of heavily armed police staged an intense manhunt Friday for a Chechen teenager suspected in the Boston marathon bombings with his brother, who was killed in a shootout. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, defied the massive force after his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan was shot and suffered critical injuries from explosives believed to have been strapped to his body.
