The suicide bombing attack Monday night killed 22 and injured 119. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, and at least one other person was arrested for suspected involvement. The investigation is ongoing.

Boston was the site of a terror bombing in April 2013, when Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev detonated a device at the Boston Marathon finish line. Three people were killed.
