UNITED NATIONS: Following Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and 170 others injured, the United Nations is stepping up security at its headquarters in New York and at other compounds.
“We are also trying to strengthen the security measures all throughout the missions around the world,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a news briefing in New York.
Ban said he hoped the United States authorities will be able to find the perpetrators of the Boston bombings and bring them to justice.
“I sincerely hope that the international community should be committed and united in fighting against any such terrorist attacks,” he said.
