BOSTON (Reuters) - Boston's handling of the bombing attack on its marathon in April has become a model for cities around the world on how to respond to tragedy, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said on Monday, as the city made its final preparations for this year's race.

"The chaos of those moments is hard to describe," Patrick said of the minutes after two pressure-cooker bombs exploded at the finish line of the world-famous Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, killing three people and injuring more than 260.
