I've been watching live coverage, and just to set the record straight...there is no mention of BOMBING.
All reports are there were one or two EXPLOSIONS near the finish line of unidentified origin at this point.
This is how it's been reported on live coverage on 2 national affiliates at this time.
It is unclear how many have been injured and/or if there were any fatalities.

2 explosions at Boston marathon finish line

Published - Apr 15 2013 02:19PM EST

JIMMY GOLEN, AP Sports Writer

BOSTON (AP) — Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers in the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the chaos. Bloody spectators were being carried to the medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.

"There are a lot of people down," said one man, whose bib No. 17528 identified him as Frank Deruyter of North Carolina. He was not injured, but marathon workers were carrying one woman, who did not appear to be a runner, to the medical area as blood gushed from her leg. A Boston police officer was wheeled from the course with a leg injury that was bleeding.

About three hours after the winners crossed the line, there was a loud explosion on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the photo bridge that marks the finish line. Another thunderous explosion could be heard a few seconds later.

Runner Laura McLean of Toronto said she heard two explosions outside the medical tent.

"There are people who are really, really bloody," McLean said. "They were pulling them into the medical tent."

Cherie Falgoust was waiting for her husband, who was running the race.

"I was expecting my husband any minute," she said. "I don't know what this building is ... it just blew. Just a big bomb, a loud boom, and then glass everywhere. Something hit my head. I don't know what it was. I just ducked."

Officials now indicating these were explosive devices, bombs, located in some normal items like trash cans.
Again, this is all preliminary and not official statements.
NYC on high alert now as well as other "high profile targets".

The marathon is held on Patriots Day.  Patriots Day is a day celebrating the battle of Lexington and Concord, the first battle of the revolutionary war.  And it's April 15th, tax day.
