Two New York Times articles summarized the Boston Marathon bombings that killed 3 and injured over 100. The first article provided facts about the bombings near the marathon's finish line and noted that two brothers were later identified as the culprits. A second article criticized anti-immigrant and anti-Islam political groups that gained popularity after the bombings. Many comments expressed racist, xenophobic, and dissatisfied reactions while questions remained about the motivations for the attack and if others were involved.
