Dzokhar Tsarnaev 'conscious and responding' as questions asked over whether FBI 'dropped the ball'

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev is conscious and responding to authorities in writing, according to reports.

The 19-year-old is said to be unable to speak after suffering a throat wound, reportedly the result of a failed suicide attempt at the climax of his dramatic arrest on Friday night when he was found hiding under a tarpaulin covering a boat in a residential garden.

As he remained in a city hospital, a debate raged in Washington about what the FBI knew about the activities his elder brother Tamerlan, the second suspect who was killed in a gun battle with police early on Friday.

Prosecutors were said to be preparing federal terrorism charges against the surviving Tsarnaev brother, who was captured after a massive manhunt last week and rushed, bleeding and severely injured, to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre. Reports in the US media suggested 19-year-old Dzhokhar might also face state murder charges. The charges were expected to be filed as early as last night.

And it looks like little brother DID kill Big Brother....

Doctors confirmed that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was suffering multiple gunshot wounds, blast injuries and major trauma to his trunk caused by being run over. Offices think it is likely to be the trauma injuries which killed him.
