波士頓週二紀念馬拉松爆炸案一週年

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden is joining local leaders in Boston on Tuesday for a ceremony marking the one-year anniversary of the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon.

Biden is scheduled to speak at the event along with Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. Organizers say the tribute will honor those affected by the bombing, and include victims' families and medical staff.

Two bombs exploded near the marathon finish line last year, killing three people and wounding more than 250 others.

Authorities say brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out the attack using homemade pressure cooker bombs.

The blasts set off a multi-day manhunt that ended with Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead from a shootout with police and a bloody Dzhokhar being arrested in a Boston suburb.

Dzhokhar is due to go on trial in November on 30 federal charges and will face the death penalty.美國副總統拜登星期二將與波士頓地方官員一道參加波士頓馬拉松致命爆炸案一週年紀念儀式。

按照預定計劃，拜登、波士頓市長沃爾什和麻薩諸塞州州長帕特里克將在紀念儀式上發表講話。活動組織者說，在紀念儀式上將向包括死難者家屬在內的爆炸案受害者以及醫務人員致敬。

去年，兩枚炸彈在馬拉松賽終點附近爆炸，造成三人死亡，250多人受傷。

有關當局說，塔梅蘭·薩納耶夫和焦哈爾·薩納耶夫兄弟用自制的高壓鍋炸彈製造了這起爆炸案。

爆炸案發生後，有關當局展開搜捕，塔梅蘭·薩納耶夫在波士頓郊區與警察交火時被擊斃，焦哈爾·薩納耶夫被逮捕。

焦哈爾·薩納耶夫將於今年11月受審，他被控30項罪名，如被判罪名成立，他將面臨死刑。
