Who Is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Man at the Center of the Boston Manhunt? - Alexander Abad-Santos.

Only this story now includes setting bombs that tore apart their adopted home, authorities say. Until Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon, the Tsarnaev brothers were largely assumed to have embraced American life.

The mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, described Tamerlan as "a person of strong will," a "leader" who could influence people. Tamerlan's influence was perhaps felt most by his younger brother Dzhokhar.

Boston Marathon Suspects Appear In Photos Taken During Race (PHOTOS) Bob Leonard and his family were Boston Marathon veterans and he preferred a spot not too far from the finish line to photograph runners as they concluded their 26.2-mile run. The area was less congested and over the years he learned that the men and women in the lead there usually went on to win.

BOSTON — The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings acknowledged to the FBI his role in the attacks but did so before he was advised of his constitutional rights to keep quiet and seek a lawyer, officials said Wednesday.
It is unclear whether those statements before the Miranda rights warning would be admissible in a criminal trial and, if not, whether prosecutors even need them to win a conviction. Officials said physical evidence, including a 9 mm handgun and pieces of a remote-control device commonly used in toys, was recovered from the scene. The suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, told authorities that his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, only recently recruited him to be part of the attack, two U.S. officials said. The U.S. officials who spoke to The Associated Press were close to the investigation but insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case with reporters. How much of those conversations will end up in court is unclear. Family, friends, and fellow police remember MIT slain officer Sean Collier during ceremony at Salem State.
