john f. kennedy. this year is the anniversary of his assassination. i was thinking going into boston, known to be a liberal city, although it's much more complicated than that, and going after the john f. kennedy library is part of this horrible terrorist attack, does it tell you anything at the library? there they are at the library with the fire truck. does it tell you anything they would hit the library of john f. kennedy? >> well, it tells us that these are not only deadly acts but these are symbolic acts. realize, chris, as you know better than anybody, today is patriots day in boston. today is basically as far as they're concerned almost a national holiday. it's probably the busiest holiday in boston. schools are closed. hundreds, tens of thousands of people come out to see something like that. this, the boston marathon, this is america. this has been run for, you know, so many years. we're yoused to this being an american event. people come from all over the world to run in this type of event and now simultaneously, the two strong symbols of ame

stations, at major landmarks where tourists would sometimes travel after the explosion at the john f. kennedy library in boston, it certainly stands to reason that would be a matter of prudence. we don't yet know anything except to say there were two bombs. authorities have confirmed that these two explosives -- these two explosions did happen as a way of bombs. in the early going in the first two minutes, the hope was maybe there was a gas line, maybe there was some sort of awful accident that went from one building to another. this was not an accident. somebody set bombs up on the streets of boss step today -- of boston today clearly with the intent to kill. inside some of those bombs we know from witness statements people report seeing little bullets this their pockets after this explosion happened. we believe that to be chrappnel. it burns so hot it can melt glass. so who ever did this for whatever reason did so with the intent to cause mass chaos with the intent to kill, with the intent to disrupt, with the intent to cause fear. that is the definition of terrorism. they are calling this

they now say the incident at the john f. kennedy presidential library, in the words off the boston police, appears to be fire related. earlier the police commissioner ed davis said that investigators were trying to determine whether the reported explosion at the jfk library was connected to the two other bombings at the boston marath marathon. the library said fire was started in the mechanical room, apparently not related to the two bombings at the boston marathon, which is important information just coming in from boston police. they said they're going to have another updated news conference at 7:00 p.m. eastern. we'll of course have live coverage of that. right now it looks like the incident at the boston john f. kennedy presidential library not related to the two bombings at the boston marathon. matt frucci, one of our executive producers, also was on the scene at the time of the explosions. once again, he's joining us. the latest numbers we have, matt, two dead and at least a hundred injured in these two explosions, two bombing

in 1963 president john f. kennedy trade travel restrictions on cuba. today 50 years later americans are still not permitted to travel there from tourism. they were not permitted to trade with this enemy. why then did almost 800 thousand americans, you heard me right, 800,000 americans travel to cuba between 2009 and 2011. if it's illegal why did the smithsonian national geographic and 200 other churches, synagogues and museums arrange for group travel to cuba. if it's illegal to trade, how come so many men and some women walk around smoking cuban cohebas and monte kris toes. the truth? it's all a charade. you can go to cuba if you are on an educational, cultural religious or people to people tour. did the couple go there on one of those tours? it seems that they did. even then the outrage continued. >> if everything went honky dori in cuba nobody would get upset. i am things are not fine and these exchanges are helping the cuban people be independent of the regime, i don't know how that trip helped the cuban people at all. >> now the white house went a
