Tsarnaev Charged with Crimes in Boston Bombing Case
Federal prosecutors charged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev over the Boston Marathon bombing, with possible death penalty exposure. The 19 year old and his brother, killed by police, are Chechen immigrants whose motives appear linked to radical Islam but not tied to established groups. Evidence includes surveillance video of a knapsack and cellphone use before the blasts that killed three and injured over 200 at the finish line.
