Two deadly explosions struck near the finish line of the Boston Marathon course on Boylston Street at about 3：00pm ET on April 15， 2013. At the time of the blasts， about two thirds of the competitors had finished the marathon. The bombs exploded about 13 seconds and near apart， leaving 3 dead （including an 8-year-old boy）， and 267 injuries （including 10 with losses of limbs） among the 23，000 runners and 50，000 spectators.
The crowds always gather near the finish line for a fiercely competitive race to applaud the runners. Immediately after the tragedy， cheers and joys were replaced by panics and screams： a sheer tragedy！
People cannot help linking it to the 9/11 attacks in 2001， the bloodiest terrorist attack ever in American history in which four passenger airliners were hijacked by terrorists， crashing into six buildings including the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Part of the Pentagon was destroyed too. This terrorist attack resulted in 2，749 deaths.
The explosion happened in Boston has become another sanguinary terrorist attack the US suffered since the notorious 9/11 attacks. A senior US intelligence official pointed out that it was a well-planned attack based on the number of explosive devices， hiding places， and detonating time. President Obama said on 16th that "Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians， it is an act of terror." The president stressed Tuesday that officials still did not know who carried out the attack or why -- or whether it was planned by a domestic or foreign terror group， or a lone-wolf individual attacker. But he vowed that whoever being responsible for the bombing that killed so many people at Boston "will feel the full weight of justice. We will find whoever harmed our citizens， and we will bring them to justice.”
With peace as the theme of the world in our time， terrorist attacks happened in the US in spate can be considered as accidental and regional events， which cannot change the thematic course of the world. However， the casualties are invariably tragic and miserable， especially the three young lives lost. We cannot help sighing that the world’s peace is still a reachless dream.
In the wake of the Boston Bombing， rumors and speculations for motivations emerged： retaliation against American’s hegemony policies， an act to protest American native racism policies， or an act related to the gun control policy. Whatever the reason was， bomb attacks targeting innocent civilians are brutal violations of the rules of peace in this world， not to mention that the victims of the Boston bomb attack were peace lovers of elders， children and youths. They were supposed to enjoy the joy and happiness brought by sport while becoming sacrifices of horrendous terrorism and retaliation. Sports events carry people’s hope and expectation for peace， friendship and happiness beyond countries， nations， races， religions and ideologies. The Olympic events will even be treated as a time for the world to halt warfare， showing sport’s supremacy in people’s minds. However， the terrorists apparently chose to ignore that. Therefore， the international and sport communities should get together and condemn such outrages. They should also appeal for world peace to resolve conflicts between races with the power of life and gather more peace lovers and strengths of the whole world.
2013年4月15日下午3时左右，在美国波士顿马拉松比赛近三分之二的选手已到达比赛终点时，市中心的博伊尔斯顿街接连发生两起致命爆炸袭击事件。在第一次爆炸发生13秒后，另一枚炸弹在不远处爆炸。这在当时现场有2.3万名参赛选手和50万名观众的赛事中造成了267人的伤亡，其中包括一名8岁男童在内的三人遇难，17人伤势危殆，10人必须接受下肢截肢手术。
在一场激烈的赛跑比赛中，往往聚集在终点线前的观众最多，以便其为抵达终点的选手鼓掌喝彩。惨案发生后一时间，惊慌失措和尖叫声取代了喝彩与欢乐，现场景况惨绝人寰。
这不禁让人们联想到2001年9月11日，美国发生了历史上最血腥的恐怖袭击。当时恐怖分子劫持了四架民航客机，撞击了纽约市世界贸易中心和华盛顿国防部总部所在地五角大楼，摧毁了包括世界贸易中心双塔在内的六座建筑，五角大楼一部分也被撞毁。这次恐怖袭击导致2749人死亡。
继臭名昭著的911恐怖袭击后，波士顿爆炸案成为美国本土遭遇的又一血腥的恐怖袭击。一名美国高级情报官员指出，从爆炸装置数目、藏匿地点、引爆时间来看，这是一次精心策划的袭击。美国总统奥巴马16日则指出：“在任何时候，只要将炸弹用于杀害无辜平民，这就是恐怖行为。”他强调，美国会对此案查个水落石出，并找出幕后凶手将其绳之以法，“任何相关的个人和团体都会感到正义的分量”。
在和平成为世界主题的今天，我们可以将美国接二连三的被袭案件看作是区域性的偶然事件，它无法逆袭世界发展的主旋律，但是袭击案所带来悲惨的人员伤亡，尤其是逝去的三条年轻的生命，令我们不禁感叹永久的世界和平仍然是一个遥不可及的梦。
波士顿爆炸案一经发生，世人有关于美国霸权主义政策惨遭报复的猜测，有针对美国种族歧视政策的猜测，亦有针对美国对公民持枪政策的猜测。无论何种原因，针对平民的爆炸袭击都是有违世界和平规则的，况且此次美国波士顿马拉松赛期间的爆炸袭击案，受害者均是喜欢体育爱好和平的老人、儿童和青年，他们本应尽情享受体育运动带给他们身心的愉悦。如今却成为恐怖极端分子发泄仇恨的“牺牲品”，他们何罪之有！一场体育盛会是人类追求和平，追求友谊和追求美好幸福生活的重要形式和载体，它超越了国家、民族、种族、宗教信仰和意识形态。甚至，每逢奥运会期间，世界上所有爱好和平的人士都把她视为“休战日”，可见体育在人们心中至高无上的地位，但爆炸者却选择了这一时机作案。
因此，面对这种针对平民的恐怖袭击，国际社会和国际体坛应该团结起来，以实际行动予以严厉谴责。同时，以正义之声呼唤世界和平，让生命的力量化解种族矛盾和冲突，凝聚全世界更多的和平人士和力量。
