Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told lawmakers Wednesday that there is “no current indication” that the deadly Boston Marathon bombings earlier this week were a part of a larger plot but she urged the American people “to remain vigilant” in light of the explosions. 

“There is no current indication to suggest the attack was indicative of a broader plot,” Napolitano said at a Senate committee hearing on the Department of Homeland Security’s 2013 budget requests. “But out of an abundance of caution we continue to keep in place enhanced security measures, both seen and unseen, in coordination with federal, state and local partners. We continue to urge the American public to remain vigilant and immediately report any signs of suspicious activity to local law enforcement.”
