    Fox News host Bill O'Reilly talking about President Obama's first press conference following the Boston Marathon bombings in Boston, Mass., in which the president held back from labeling the bombings an act of terrorism. April 15, 2013.

President Barack Obama delayed calling the Boston Marathon bombings an act of terrorism until just before noon Tuesday during a White House press briefing in Washington, D.C.

On Monday night, Obama addressed the nation and assured the public that authorities "will get to the bottom of this." He added that "we will find out who did this act, and we will find out why they did this … and we will hold them accountable."

But he emphasized that Americans and the media shouldn't make assumptions about the person or group that planned the bombings.

"We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all of the facts," Obama said.
