US President Barack Obama will travel to Boston tomorrow to attend an interfaith service dedicated to the victims of two bomb blasts in the city during the annual marathon.
“On Thursday (tomorrow) morning, the President will travel to Boston to speak at an interfaith service dedicated to those who were gravely wounded or killed in Monday’s bombing near the finish line of the Boston Marathon,” the White House said in a statement.
The President’s earlier scheduled visit to the University of Kansas on Friday has been cancelled, it added.
The twin explosions ripped through a cheering crowd at the finish line of the popular Boston Marathon on Monday, leaving three persons dead and wounding 176 others.
Obama said the FBI was investigating the blasts as an act of terror, but added it was not clear yet as to who were responsible for the blasts.
