BOSTON (AP) -- President Obama and 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney are among those planning to attend a Boston interfaith healing service organized after the deadly bombing at the city's marathon.
A spokeswoman for Romney confirmed Wednesday the former Massachusetts governor will be among those attending at the invitation of Democratic Governor Patrick. The White House had previously announced Mr. Obama will attend Thursday's service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Other state, local and federal officials are expected to attend along with members of the clergy.
