More than a week after the terror attacks at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, there remain more questions than answers: What motivated Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev to carry out the attacks? Were more attacks planned? Were the suspects trained by Islamic militant groups? What lessons were learned by the US and intelligence agencies to prevent future attacks? What’s next in the investigation?

We’ll address those questions and more in a live Google+ Hangout on Thursday, April 25 at 12pm ET. Join NBC News Justice Correspondent +Pete Williams who has been covering the story from Washington, D.C., and Kerry Sanders, who has been reporting on the attack and its aftermath from Boston.
