Boston Police Evacuate Marathon Finish Line After Spotting Two Unattended Backpacks

Boston police officers have evacuated the area around the Boston Marathon finish line after two unattended backpacks were spotted, AP reports.

The packs were discovered at around 6:50 p.m., and police told people to avoid the area as a bomb squad investigates.

Police are especially cautious, as three died and more than 260 people were wounded just one year ago, when two bombs exploded near the finish line.
