Boston: The twin brother of President Barack Obama’s counterterrorism adviser attended the Boston Marathon and couldn’t be located immediately after the two blasts that killed three and wounded more than 100, according to a report Wednesday.
“I know you have your hands full,” Lisa Monaco’s mother, Mary Lou, wrote to her daughter after discovering her son, Christoper, was safe. Bloomberg reports Mary Lou Monaco was “frantically” searching for Christopher.
“Glad your days of lining marathon route are over,” Lisa Monaco wrote back at 1 a.m., according to Bloomberg. “It’s awful.”
Monaco, who took over the counterterrorism job from new CIA Director John Brennan earlier this year, was raised in Newton, a Boston suburb on the marathon route. She had attended the marathon as a spectator with her her parents and two brothers when a third brother, Peter, ran the race.
Her mother said Monaco was also a runner herself.
