2. CBS News story:

BOSTON
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told authorities from his hospital bed Monday that he and his brother acted alone in last week's attack, officials said.

CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports that Tsarnaev, injured from the manhunt that led to his capture, is cooperating with authorities. He is communicating via writing because a gunshot wound to his neck rendered him unable to speak. Two officials also told The Associated Press that evidence indicated he and the second suspect, his brother, were motivated by religion.

On Monday Tsarneav was indicted with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, and he could face the death penalty if convicted. A magistrate judge went to the hospital to conduct the initial appearance, an official at the Federal Courthouse in Boston confirmed to CBS News.


Tsarnaev, 19, was accused by federal prosecutors of joining with his older brother to set off the two pressure-cooker bombs that sprayed shrapnel into the crowd at the finish line last Monday, killing three people and wounding more than 180.

3. Which of course doesn't tell us whether they really did.

That might be the truth or it might not.

4. Agreed

He is the suspect in killing 4 people and horribly injuring many more. I would not trust a thing he says. Does he already admit to the crime is a better question. Over/under on when he will be executed (it was a little over 6 years for McVeigh).

7. I think alone means something different here. They are already looking for accomplices

No matter what he says. This has something to do with whether they had Al Qaeda backing and how and where the case would be tried. Some questions are asked in interrogation, during that 48-hour window. Others are asked for the record. That's what this was. For the record.

6. The question needed to be asked.

If he said, "No, here are the addresses of the other three", the authorities would need to move on that.

It was important that the question be asked. Hopefully, he realizes he has nothing to gain by lying.

5. Seriously?? " motivated by religion" ?? Ya think??

Tell us something we DON'T know.

The older brother had endless videos on his YouTube page extolling the virtues of killing westeners and jew and he traveled to chechnia where he learned to make bombs.

The list of these types of terrorist attacks go on and on. I've lost tract.

8. He already confessed? Oops. Didn't he ever watch any police dramas on TV??

Even if he wasn't Mirandized, he should know to keep his stupid mouth shut unless he WANTS to die.
