Boston Bombings: 'No Effort Will Be Spared to Track Them Down,' Schiff Says

Rep. Adam Schiff, a senior Member of the Intelligence Committee, released the following statement in response to the bombings in Boston on Monday: 

“As the nation comes to grips with yesterday’s horrific events, I echo President Obama’s vow that those responsible will be made to feel the full weight of justice, and no effort will be spared to track them down.  While we wait for the FBI and local investigators to identify, locate and apprehend the bomber or bombers, I am certain that many Americans share my determination  to keep this country an open and secure society – one in which people can go to the movies, drop their kids off at school, or run in one of the world’s great marathons without fear.  And I have every confidence in the resilience of the people of Boston, who have been through a terrible trauma. 

 “We will know much more in the coming hours and days about whether this was a home-grown plot, the product of self-radicalization, or a foreign driven attack. In the meantime, I will be working to make sure the intelligence community provides all necessary support to the investigation."
