U.S. Stocks Rally Day After Boston Marathon Bombings
ANDERSON: Welcome back, I'm Becky Anderson in London for you. This is CONNECT THE WORLD, the top stories, as you would imagine, this hour. A US law-enforcement source tells CNN both bombs used to attack the Boston Marathon were apparently placed inside pressure cookers, then hidden in backpacks. Investigators believe the bombs were detonated by timers, not remotely by cell phone. Three people were killed in the blast, more than 180 wounded. Sources tell CNN at least 34 people are dead and 80 injured in Pakistan following a powerful earthquake. The epicenter was across the border in southeastern Iran. Officials say a dozen people there were injured. At least seven people are dead after post-election violence in Venezuela. President-elect Nicolas Maduro accuses the opposition of planning a coup against him. His defeated rival Henrique Capriles is demanding a full recount. And no one was killed when a US marine helicopter crashed not far from the North Korean border. The helicopter was part of joint military exercises between the US and South Korea, 21 people were onboard, 6 are now in hospital. US authorities are vowing to go, and I quote, "to the ends of the Earth" to find those responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings. Here is what we know this hour. A US officials says investigators have found no al Qaeda or foreign connection. They are still considering all possibilities. They are analyzing tips from the public and from hundreds of videos from the scene, trying to determine a motive.</s>ANDERSON: One explosion was caught on a runner's camera. Two blasts went off near the finish line about 12 seconds apart. Authorities have now identified the second of three people killed, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell. Eight-year-old Martin Richard is also among the dead. At least 183 people were injured, many of them seriously. President Barack Obama is promising justice.</s>BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: This was a heinous and cowardly act, and given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror.</s>ANDERSON: President Obama speaking earlier. Well, doctors are working around the clock, as you can imagine, to treat the injured. Let's get an update from CNN's chief medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta. He's outside Brigham and Women's Hospital. Sanjay, 183 people, some -- injured, some 23 of them critically injured. Do we have any sense of the nature, at this stage, of these injuries?</s>SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, we have a pretty good idea, Becky, and it's unusual in the pattern of injuries. First of all, the numbers have gone up in part because there are people who may have had more minor injuries who are now coming to the hospital throughout the day today, realizing that they may have had an injury that they didn't realize at the time. But the most severe injuries really seem to be from a blast force from this explosion that stayed pretty close to the ground. And Becky, you and I have been in war zones, you know that they tell you to hit the deck if there's an explosion in the area because mostly the explosion -- the force is up and out. And here, for whatever reason, I'm not sure yet, it stayed close to the ground. So, as a result, leg injuries, lower extremity injuries, seem to be the most common critical injury. There have been a few patients that we've seen at one of the biggest trauma centers here behind me who've also had neck injuries, head injuries and penetration of shrapnel to the neck as well, but they were further away. So, that gives you a little bit of an idea of the pattern of these injuries, Becky.</s>ANDERSON: How well-experienced are the medics who are dealing with these injuries in these hospitals in Boston? Will the recognize these injuries? Will they have seen them before?</s>GUPTA: It's unlikely they've seen them before, unless they've been on battlefields. I talked to the head of surgery here, who's been here for 20 years, and the head of the emergency department, who's also been here for about 20 years, and they both told me they'd never seen anything quite like this. And -- but it doesn't mean that they -- they weren't trained, though, because trauma training follows some very, very predictable patterns. You control the airway, you make sure someone's breathing, you make sure the blood is circulating throughout the body. So, regardless of the source of trauma, those things stay the same, Becky.</s>ANDERSON: Sanjay, thank you for that, outside the hospital there. And as Sanjay's been speaking, we've just got word that the Boston area hospitals have now released 89 of the 189 -- or 183 people injured in Monday's attack. That's according to CNN's latest tally. So, of the 183 people injured, we knew that there were some 23 critical, we also know, sadly, that 3 people have lost their lives. But the good news this hour is that 89 of those 183 people injured in Monday's attack appear now to have been released. As the investigation goes on in Boston, security for Sunday's London Marathon is under review, understandably. Britain's sports minister, Hugh Robertson, says he has faith in UK security and in the race's organizers.</s>HUGH ROBERTSON, BRITISH MINISTER FOR SPORT: We have some of the very best, if not the best, professionals in the world working on a daily basis to keep us safe, and I'm as confident as you possibly can be at this stage, that we will deliver a safe and secure marathon on Sunday.</s>ANDERSON: Organizers confirm the London Marathon will go ahead as planned. About 35,000 runners are scheduled to take part, with many more, of course, turning out to cheer them on. So, London taking no chances. My colleague Max Foster talked to a crisis management expert earlier about what it takes to keep a city of more than 8 million people safe, especially during one of the year's biggest public events. This is what he learned.</s>MAX FOSTER, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, the London Marathon is just a few days away, now. The finish line will be just up there along the Mall, and the police have said they are reviewing security measures because of what happened in Boston. Peter Power is a security expert here. In terms of a review, what exactly will they be looking at now?</s>PETER POWER, CRISIS MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST: Well, the review in advance of the London Marathon will be happening almost every hour. It'll be a constant process. But it is hardly the first time that London Marathon has been held. In previous years, it's been held at a time when the treat level from terrorism is even higher than it is now. So, as we're speaking, on this day, a number of terrorists are being convicted in London of an attempt to blow up an army barracks. That is probably of equal measure in terms of the threat as is the events in Boston.</s>FOSTER: But could Boston and what happened in Boston have an effect on domestic terrorism here in the UK?</s>POWER: It's difficult to say. Domestic terrorism in the UK has got a whole range of things. We have had lone individuals, the equivalent of Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma and so on. They can be inspired by this. But right now, we are covered by probably over 10,000 close-circuit television cameras in the whole of London that feed back information constantly. So we in London -- I hate to say it -- are relatively prepared for terrorism. I wish we weren't sometimes. But that's the truth of it.</s>FOSTER: Even before the marathon, we've got Margaret Thatcher's funeral. That's only tomorrow, another big public event. The police say they're not reviewing security in relation to that, but surely there must be a heightened sense of concern because of what happened in Boston?</s>POWER: Yes, there is, but the police philosophy in London is pretty much taking reasonable steps against unreasonable people. Where on that tightrope are you allowed to intervene and preventatively do things. For example, does it enable you the day before the marathon or even the day before the funeral to execute search warrants just in case people might be willing or anxious to actually create a major disturbance?</s>FOSTER: They're more justified now, aren't they?</s>POWER: They are, but it's a difficult one for the police, and the police in London are very, very sensitive about this. Two key words are "reasonable" and "proportionate." What that actually means is very subjective, as we'll see in the next few hours.</s>ANDERSON: Reasonable and proportionate security measures. Pauline Neville-Jones once ran the British joint intelligence committee. She was also the UK's home office minister for security and counter-terrorism. She joins me now here in our London studio. And before we talk about security preparations for the London Marathon, just walk me behind closed doors, as it were, and let's talk to the Boston Marathon. What sort of intelligence will be going across the Atlantic at this point?</s>PAULINE NEVILLE-JONES, FORMER UK MINISTER OF SECURITY AND COUNTER- TERRORISM: Well, obviously, London Marathon is something you prepare for in great detail, both at the intelligence level and the policing level. In the light of what's just happened, obviously, one of the things immediately will be that the intelligence services will be in touch with each other about what exactly they can establish about the organization of this appalling atrocity. And it is an appalling atrocity. And they'll want to know what kind of organize -- what kind of plot it was, how big a scale. They'll also be extremely interested in communication. It's very obvious -- is it not? -- that you can't organize something on an scale without somehow communicating with people. And that always leads a trace. Now, if it's an international-inspired terrorist attack, then that's one of the early things that you might hope to pick up. If it's domestic, that's probably harder. And that's the kind of indication they'll be looking for. And obviously something that's international will be a greater concern --</s>ANDERSON: To London.</s>NEVILLE-JONES: -- to London, yes.</s>ANDERSON: As I watch the events in Boston unfold, I wonder to myself how difficult it must be to be in the security services. One has to assume, as a sort of relatively normal person, that big, crowded events like that will just be -- will be crowded for all the right reasons, people who are just cheering people. How do you secure 35,000 runners and possibly as many as half a million spectators?</s>NEVILLE-JONES: Well, you can't have perfect security. I think we all know that. You can, obviously, mitigate the risk and reduce it. And clearly, good intelligence is part of that, knowing whether there's any kind of threat. Now, there wasn't, it would appear, any indication. What they may, of course, in due course discover, is that there were indications that they didn't recognize as being such. And that is what intelligence is all about, and then you can be very wise after the event and there's a frightful blame game. I believe, actually, intelligence services do do a good job, and they are extraordinarily conscientious. So, that's one side of the thing. The other side, obviously, is policing. And the police themselves, now, increasingly have what I would describe as an intelligence role. They are the people who have to listen to Twitter. They're the people who have actually to follow likely organizers' activities if they are about to do something. Now, that's -- that is something you would certainly do if you knew there was going to be a demonstration. Tomorrow, when Lady Thatcher's funeral, they'll be doing that.</s>ANDERSON: I was going to ask you about that, because the London Marathon, of course, is on Sunday --</s>NEVILLE-JONES: Yes.</s>ANDERSON: -- but Margaret Thatcher's funeral is tomorrow --</s>NEVILLE-JONES: Indeed.</s>ANDERSON: -- on Wednesday, and you can get coverage of that here on CNN. There are likely to be protesters, for example, along the route.</s>NEVILLE-JONES: There are likely to be protesters, and let us hope that they will be responsible protesters. It would appear, I think, quite a lot of people will just express their displeasure by turning their back on the hearse as it goes by. I would be surprised, I have to say, if there was anything violent. Nevertheless, the police do have to prepare for that. So, they do have, actually, now these days not only to have monitored the scene beforehand, set up the best security arrangements they can, but they have to monitor it absolutely continuously. So, real-time monitoring of live events is actually now something that the police have to do, and they have to be prepared and able to move their police forces around.</s>ANDERSON: We're going to have to leave it there, but thank you very much, indeed, for joining us. Cross our fingers. Live from London, you're watching CONNECT THE WORLD. It is just about a quarter to ten London time. Coming up after the break, the chaos captured on camera. We're going to show you some of the images of the aftermath of the Boston attack captured by our iReports. And then later, one baseball player remembers the victims of the Boston bombing, both on and off the field.
