Ten years ago in 2013, two bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. In the following days, authorities searched for suspects Dzokhar Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan. The latter was killed following a pursuit and the former remains on death row. The World’s Bianca Hillier reports the latest on their case and how the event impacted sports security across the globe.
