President Barack Obama is defending the FBI�s handling of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation as Republicans ready for oversight hearings on the attack.
Obama tells the Spanish-language television network Univision he doesn�t think it�s fair to say law enforcement �dropped the ball�.
The president says �there are going to be times where individuals decide they want to cause harm to people for crazy reasons, for no good reason, for ideological reasons.�
He says it�s a challenge when would-be attackers are �self-radicalizing� and not part of a broad conspiracy. Obama says the FBI �can�t arrest somebody just based on a rumor.�
The first of a series of House hearings is set for Thursday before the GOP-led House Homeland Security Committee.
