A wounded spectator sits dazed amid the bloodshed near the finish line yesterday after twin terrorist explosions hit the Boston Marathon.
Terrorists detonated two shrapnel-packed bombs at the Boston Marathon yesterday, leaving bodies and shredded limbs littering the finish line.
Many victims suffered amputated legs and were pierced with ball bearings and nails — indicating the bombs had been designed to inflict maximum human damage.
The official death toll was three, but a law-enforcement source told The Post it could be as high as 12.
One witness told The New York Times there appeared to be 10 to 12 fatalities, including "women, children, finishers." The wounds appeared to be "lower torso — the type of stuff you see from someone exploding out," he said.

The dead included an 8-year-old boy, whose mom and sister were hurt as they waited for his dad to finish running.
More than 140 injured people were being treated at eight hospitals, with at least 17 in critical condition.
A state trooper at the scene reported more than 25 people with at least one leg missing.

As dozens of unsuspecting marathoners press on toward the finish line, a second blast erupts.
A woman visiting her brother at Brigham Woman's Hospital in Boston said doctors removed 37 nails that were lodged in the man's legs from the blast.
A surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital said the most common serious injury was to the bone and tissue of the leg. "Obviously, it's upsetting to see people coming in so quickly," Dr. Peter Fagenholz said.

Among the developments in the hours after the attack:
* Federal sources said a 20-year-old Saudi Arabian national, who was injured by shrapnel, was being questioned by authorities and under heavy guard at a Boston hospital. An apartment in Revere, Mass. — where sources say the suspect lives — was raided by feds yesterday.
* "Make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this," President Obama said. "Any responsible individual, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice." Later, a White House official said the incident was being treated as an act of terrorism.
* The attacks sent the Dow Jones industrial average plunging 265 points, the worst day on Wall Street in five months.
