U.S. Charges Three More in Boston Marathon Case
By EVAN PEREZ, JENNIFER LEVITZ and JON KAMP, WSJ
BOSTON—U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday filed criminal charges against three friends of the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect and said two of them threw away a backpack that contained evidence.
An affidavit filed in Boston federal court provided a new glimpse into Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's alleged activities between the April 15 bombing and his capture April 19. After allegedly plotting the attack with his older brother that killed three people and injured more than 200, the college sophomore seemed to resume his daily routine, hanging out with friends late into the night, offering a ride to a classmate and texting his buddies at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Two of the newly charged men—Dias Kadyrbayev, 19 years old, and Azamat Tazhayakov, 19—are nationals of Kazakhstan and, like Mr. Tsarnaev, are Russian speakers hailing from parts of the former Soviet Union.
The two were charged with attempting to impede the bombing investigation by throwing away a backpack containing fireworks that appeared to have had their explosive powder removed. Authorities believe the explosives used in the bombs were made with black powder that most likely came from fireworks.
