l**7 发帖数: 3940 | 1 Roomies of Boston Bomb Suspect Arrested on Immigration Issues
Three college friends of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
are under arrest, suspected of removing items from his dorm room after the
April 15 attack, sources said Wednesday.
Two of them were detained April 20 on immigration charges and a third has
now been taken into custody, sources said.
They will be charged with lying to federal investigators for denying they
took the items from the dorm, federal authorities said.
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/01/18001437-3-pals-of-b | l**7 发帖数: 3940 | 2 (CNN) -- Two classmates of Boston Marathon bomb suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
and a third person face federal charges in connection with the April 15
attack, federal law enforcement sources said Wednesday.
Boston police announced the arrests Wednesday morning, adding that there was
"no threat to the public." They were expected to appear before a federal
judge Wednesday afternoon, U.S. government sources said.
The classmates -- Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev -- are both from
Kazakhstan and had been in federal custody on immigration charges already,
their lawyers told CNN. The third person arrested is a U.S. citizen.
The Kazakh students face charges of making false statements to investigators
and conspiracy to obstruct justice, according to a federal law enforcement
source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
Latest on the investigation
All three are accused of removing items from Tsarnaev's dorm room at the
University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth after the bombings, a law enforcement
official who has been briefed about the arrests said.
Law enforcement officials believe they helped destroy evidence that might
further implicate Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the bombing by disposing of fireworks
and his laptop, a U.S. government official said.
Two U.S. government officials said the charges involve illegal actions after
the bombing. One official said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev contacted the three after
FBI agents released photographs of Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan
and asked them to dispose of the items. The suspects said they did not know
the significance of what they were doing, the official told CNN.
Another federal law enforcement official said two of three lied to the FBI
when asked about whether they had seen the suspects or knew of their
whereabouts after the bombings.
That official said the suspects threw out backpacks of fireworks from the
dorm room, leading to a two-day search of a New Bedford landfill last week.
Alan Dershowitz, a prominent defense attorney and Harvard law professor,
said called the obstruction charge "weak," suggesting it was meant to
pressure the suspects into providing more information on Tsarnaev.
"If that's the best the feds have now, then they're just squeezing,"
Dershowitz told CNN. "It doesn't sound like they have very much new here."
Two bombs exploded in the crowd gathered near the finish line of the Boston
Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 260. Federal agents
blame the Tsarnaev brothers of carrying out the attack.
Carjacking victim recalls experience
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a shootout with police on April 19, while
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was wounded but survived.
Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev appear in a photograph with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
taken in New York's Times Square during an earlier visit. They were taken
into custody last month on charges that they had violated the terms of their
student visas and had already been questioned by investigators on April 19,
hours before Tsarnaev's arrest, Kadyrbayev attorney Robert Stahl told CNN.
Federal law enforcement sources said at the time that the Kazakh students
were being detained "in an abundance of caution" because authorities wanted
detailed information on the Tsarnaevs' movements in the weeks and days
before the attack. | f*******n 发帖数: 12623 | 3 when did "roomies" mean "friends"? | l**7 发帖数: 3940 | 4 when friends live together in one student dorm.......omg
