London Marathon still on, security scrutinised

LONDON (Reuters) - Londoners should show their solidarity with victims of the Boston blasts during Sunday's Marathon, according to Britain's Sports Minister Hugh Roberston, after organisers said the iconic race will go ahead as planned.

Security is being scrutinised for the London event, which will attract 36,000 runners, in the wake of Monday's horrific scenes in Boston, where explosions near the finish line killed at least three people and wounded more than 100.
