At least three people were killed and at least 141 others were injured as two powerful explosions rocked the Boston Marathon finish line in a potential terrorist attack Monday afternoon.When the smoke cleared after the blasts in Boston’s Back Bay section, dozens of victims lay in the street, some unconscious, some grievously injured, including some whose limbs had been torn off by the blast, Boston Globe reported.
New Delhi - Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal apologized for the scuffle that broke out between Anna Hazare's supporters and mediapersons at Jantar Mantar here on Monday.
He urged the supporters to be nice to the media and to carry out the anti-graft protests in a non-violent way.
"Please be nice to these media people. Don't misbehave with them. I apologise for what happened," he said.
The apology came after the Broadcast Editors' Association (BEA) condemned the attack on the media and demanded an immediate apology.
The incident took place late last night, when Team Anna supporters had an argument with mediapersons who were covering their hunger strike.
They hurled abuses and raised anti-media slogans after Team Anna member Shanti Bhushan alleged that the media was not projecting their protest correctly.
"Media is manipulating reality here for the sake of their TRPs. Channel owners are not showing the reality," Bhushan claimed.
Hazare began his indefinite fast against corruption on Sunday by joining Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai - who have been fasting since July 25.
Team Anna has demanded the setting up of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of retired judges of Supreme and High Courts, to probe charges of corruption against 15 cabinet ministers, including the Prime Minister.
They have also sought the transferring of cases against political party chiefs, which are being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to the SIT, in addition to setting up fast track courts to dispose of cases against lawmakers within six months.
