Boston was a party. The city and surrounding areas were living in the rhythm of one of the most famous foot races in the United States and the world.
The pulse of the athletes was pushed to the limit in the final stages of the taxing race. The audience showed their respect and applauded the valiant athletes. Family and friends were infected by a special emotion.
Suddenly, an explosion. Blood froze and there were uncertain questions. Another explosion followed and was the preamble to the wail of ambulances.
They tended the wounded, who numbered more than 100. The sad news at the end of the afternoon was three dead, including a child.
The city shuddered. The U.S. saw with bewilderment the news and images of the terror that was sown a decade ago return to their minds. The world looked on, stunned. Solidarity and human suffering became one. President Barack Obama wisely announced that there was no evidence about the origins of the explosion and promised to investigate in depth.
Far from speculation or hasty guesswork, the first research speaks of household gadgets: a pressure cooker, some buckshot. Questions arise by the thousands. Was the terrorist act the result of a foreign plot or a deranged mind, like so many that have stained schools and shopping centers with blood? Nobody knows. All that is left is the pain.

Beijing wants to avoid being drawn into a confrontation with Washington while still demonstrating that it has an independent voice on major international crises.
