A sigh of relief that suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing incident have been speedily tracked down. These bombings were apparently the work of two brothers. While the elder brother - Tarmerlan Tsarnaev - died in a shoot out with US police, the younger one - Dzokhar Tsarnaev - has been captured alive. There is a strong hope that the younger brother will provide some answers as to their motives for carrying out of such a heinous deed.
It is also good fortune that not too many lives were lost in these bombings. At the last count there were only three fatalities, with about 170 people injured. There is no doubt that the plan - by detonating not one but two bombs in an area full of people - was to cause more harm. A higher loss of life would have made a bigger statement for the perpetrators.
In the wake of the bombings it was heartwarming to hear that the next day the residents of Boston allowed life to go on. Some were seen taking their usual morning runs. They had not allowed fear to disrupt their lives. And this was something good, because the aim of perpetrators of terrorist acts is always to instill fear that paralyses.
To the families of the three people who lost their lives, we pass our condolences. And we wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured.
