Terror, murder charges could be filed against Boston bombing suspect
[CNN] Federal terrorism charges against Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev could be filed soon, even as he remains hospitalized, a Justice Department official told CNN on Saturday. The 19-year-old could also face murder charges at the state level.
At the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where Tsarnaev was at death's door while being held in federal custody, federal prosecutors were formulating the charges.
The development came amid questions as to what's next for the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
President Barack Obama
We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us ...
said he's keenly interested in answers.
"There are still many unanswered questions," Obama said Friday night. "Why did these young men who grew up and studied here as part of our communities and our country resort to such violence? How did they plan and carry out these attacks? And did they receive any help? The families of those killed so senselessly deserve answers."
