Boston Marathon bombing suspect NOT read his Miranda rights



A Justice Department official says the Boston Marathon bombing suspect will not be read his Miranda rights because the government is invoking a public safety exception.


That official and a second person briefed on the investigation says 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be questioned by a special interrogation team for high-value suspects.


The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to disclose the information publicly.



Rights revoked: A Justice Department official says Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, will not be read his Miranda rights because the government is invoking a public safety exception



Serious condition: This still frame from video shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev visible through an ambulance after he was captured in Watertown, Massachusetts on Friday, April 19, 2013

The public safety exception permits law enforcement officials to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation of a suspect and allows the government to introduce the statement as evidence in court.


The public safety exception is triggered when police officers have an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from immediate danger.

Tsarnaev was apprehended by local authorities and rushed to the hospital in a serious condition at 8:43 pm on Friday evening after an ongoing gun battle with police and SWAT teams.

Two days prior, the 19-year-old Chechen terror suspect partied with college friends on Wednesday night and was said to 'look relaxed


Hours before the deadly shootout which claimed his brother's life Tsarnaev was seen on a night out on campus.


A fellow University of Massachusetts student told the Boston Globe: 'He was just relaxed'.




Back to normal: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old Chechen terror suspect, partied with college friends on Wednesday night after the marathon bombings and was said to 'look relaxed'




The account, confirmed to friends to belong to the terror suspect, makes for haunting reading.


Just months before the tweet he said he was changing majors to try and become a nurse and talked about his work 'saving lives' as a Harvard lifeguard.



'I didn't become a lifeguard just to chill and get paid, I do it for the people, saving brings me joy,' he wrote on May 29.

However, it has emerged he was sacked last summer after he suddenly stopped turning up for shifts, according to a Buzzfeed report.

The Chechen has been described by friends as a ‘careful and jovial’ student, who has lived in the U.S for a decade and partied ‘like a normal American kid' - painting a conflicting picture of a man now accused of terrorism.


It appears he became increasingly radicalized by his older brother Tamerlan with whom he is said to have carried out the deadly attack - killing three and injuring more than 180.


His cousin, Zaur, told the Boston Globe that he 'used to warn Dzhokhar that Tamerlan was up to no good' while Tamerlan's boxing coach said the younger brother would watch him train, 'he idolized him', he told the Boston Herald.

The twitter account portrays two contrasting pictures and hints at a man who suddenly changed sometime last year.


Many of his posts are innocuous references to pop culture, college and women.


He posts hip hop lyrics, talks about his love for TV show Breaking Bad and chats to college friends.


'Normal': Various pictures show Tsarnaev hanging out with American friends. Here he is pictured in New York's famous Times Square

But others are serious and appear to suggests of events to come.


On April 21 2012 he wrote in Russian: 'I will perish young' while last month he tweeted 'Never underestimate the rebel with a cause'.




In a July 17 post at 10.45am he wrote: '3rd zombie apocalypse dream in a span of like 2 weeks, I'm no golden boy but maybe, just maybe we should be expecting something soon, tbc..'

This was the same day his older brother is believed to have returned to the country after a mysterious six month absence.


Dzhokhar also made plain his feelings on 9/11.


He also posted: 'Idk [I don't know] why it's hard for many of you to accept that 9/11 was an inside job, I mean I guess f*** the facts y'all are some real #patriots #gethip.'


And 'September 10th baby, you know what tomorrow is. Party at my house! #thingsyoudontyellwhenenteringaroom.'

Reports yesterday suggested he had convinced his mother too.


A former client of Zubeidat Tsarnaeva told the Huffington Post the mother of the bombers was also a denier.


Alyssa Kilzner said: 'It’s real. She said, 'My son knows all about it. You can read on the Internet.'

The terror suspect also posted pictures of himself in Times Square and wrote about visiting New York in November.


Another particularly hateful comment reads: 'You guys know that the suicide rate for active duty american soldiers is at an all time high for 2012, a suicide a day, whats the #problem?'

He also wrote: 'A decade in America already, I want out.'

'He liked to party': Friends said he was a typical young man

The context of the Boston Marathon message is not known as the recipient's account and responses are locked and therefore private.

But half the conversation can be seen on the terror suspect's site.

Dzhokhar was attending the University of Massachusetts after graduating from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, former high school of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Up until Monday, family and friends said he appeared to be a party-loving guy, who was never a troublemaker and appeared grateful to America for taking in his family.

His father described him as a 'true angel' today as news emerged his two sons were terror suspects wanted for the atrocious attack on Boston on Monday.


Anzor Tsarnaeva spoke with The Associated Press by telephone from the Russian city of Makhachkala.

'My son is a true angel,' he said. 'Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy.'

Both men were legal permanent residents of the United States who hailed from Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars.

But the two brothers took to their adoptive country very differently.


It appears Tamerlan became radicalized in recent months. Despite his many years here, he said he had 'one single American friend'.

Five months ago, he created a YouTube playlist dedicated to terrorism. Named simply ‘Terrorists,’ it included a pair of videos, which are now no longer available.

Among the songs was one called ‘I will dedicate my life to Jihad.' He also featured videos recorded by recent converts to Islam.

His brother on the other hand, who grew up in the country from a much younger age, seemed to have entirely immersed himself in American life.


High school friends expressed their shock that he would have anything to do with terrorism.


One friend told CNN: 'He is a normal kid, he parties, he sometimes smokes - if you know what I mean. He was as American as I am - he was born and raised here. This kid was a walking angel.'

Former wrestling coach Larry Aaronson told CNN: 'There was nothing in his character, in his comportment, in his demeanor that said he would be capable of doing this.

He was so grateful to be here, he was so grateful to be at the school. He was so grateful to be accepted. He was pleasant, careful, jovial - there was nothing remotely like this at all. He was a lovely, lovely kid, an outstanding athlete and never a troublemaker.


'Last time I saw him I spoke to him in the street around Thanksgiving. I asked if he was still wrestling and he said he was burying himself in his studies.'

At some point, however, that attitude changed.


Dzhokhar was born in Kyrgyzstan after the family fled Chechnya. The family, which also included two daughters, Bella and Amina, had refugee status.

Both sons had immense pride in their 'home country' with Dzhokhar describing himself as Chechen and speaking the language.

The family moved around Eastern Europe with their young family.


He went to a school in Makhachkala, the capital city of the Republic of Dagestan, between 1999-2001.


His former teachers at his first school described him as a 'normal child' today.




‘He arrived at our school in the first form and departed in the second,’ Irina Bandurina, the secretary at Makhachkala’s School No.1, told RT.




Radicalized: Tamerlan Tsarnaev appears to have become increasingly radicalized in recent months







Influence? It appears Dzhokhar may have been influenced by his older brother, Tamerlan, a boxer, whose radicalization was apparent in internet posts in recent months

Chechnya: A history of terror



Muslim militants from Chechnya have a long history of unleashing separatist terror attacks on Russia – but the allegations of involvement in the Boston Marathon explosions would mark the first time they have targeted the West.

Buried in the heart of Russia’s Northern Caucasus, the Islamic state has fought against Russian rule for centuries.

But it culminated in a bloody and chaotic civil war with the Russian government in 1994 that left tens of thousands dead and the region in ruins.

As a result, the area became a hotbed for extremism, and was soon infiltrated by foreign Islamic militants, including those with ties to al Qaeda.

Terrorists have since unleashed a string of attacks on Russian soil and, more recently, abroad.

Russian troops withdrew from Chechnya in 1996 after the first Chechen war, leaving it de-facto independent and largely lawless, but then rolled back three years later following apartment building explosions in Moscow and other cities blamed on the rebels.

Chechnya has stabilized under the steely grip of Kremlin-backed local strongman Ramzan Kadyrov, a former rebel whose forces were accused of massive rights abuses.

But the Islamic insurgency has spread to neighboring provinces, with Dagestan, sandwiched between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea, becoming the epicenter of violence with militants launching daily attacks against police and other authorities.

Militants from Chechnya and neighboring provinces have launched a long series of terror attacks in Russia

On October 23 2002, over 40, mostly female, terrorists took more than 700 hostages prisoner at a Moscow theater, demanding an end to the Russian presence in Chechnya. Dressed from head to toe in black hijabs, they became known as The Black Widows.

But when Russian security forces stormed the theater, guns blazing, the hostage takers responded by detonating homemade bombs strapped to their bodies, killing more than 100 innocent theater goers.

Then on September 1 2004, a group of 32 heavily-armed, masked men seized control of Middle School Number One and more than 1,000 hostages in Beslan, North Ossetia.

Most of the hostages were children aged from six to sixteen years old.

After a tense two-day standoff, that was beamed around the world, Russian forces raided the building.

A violent, two-hour gunfight followed bringing an end to a siege that ultimately claimed the lives of 331 civilians, 11 commandos and 31 hostage-takers.

The rebels have since claimed responsibility for an array of terrorist attacks, including last year's double suicide bombing of the Moscow subway system that killed 40 people.

In March 2010, two women suicide bombers killed 40 commuters when they blew themselves up on two packed tube trains during the busy rush hour.

And in January a year later, a Chechen suicide bomber unleashed terror on Moscow's Domodedovo Airport when they blew themselves up killing 36 people.

In recent years, however, militants in Chechnya, Dagestan and other neighboring provinces have largely refrained from attacks outside the Caucasus.

The allegations of the Caucasus men's role in the Boston's explosions would reinforce long-held claims by Russian officials that insurgents in the Caucasus have been linked to al-Qaida.



‘They arrived from Kyrgyzstan and departed to the US. I’m telling you they lived here for a year. Not the whole year. They arrived at the school in 2001 and departed in March 2002 … There were four of them – two sisters and two brothers… It’s written here that they are from Kyrgyzstan.’

A friend of Dzhokhar, Eric Mercado, told CNN the 19-year-old was just a 'normal American kid'.


'There was no evidence that would lead us to believe he was capable of any of this,' he said.

In high school he was a young wrestling star - a member of the team for three years and captain for two.




Sanjaya Lamichhame, a team-mate, refused to speak against his friend and said: 'He always motivated me. He was a very nice guy. I knew him for four or five years.'

He also showed intellectual promise - winning a scholarship of $2,500 from the city of Cambridge.




His page on Vkontakte, the Russian equivalent of Facebook, shows pictures of him with friends and posing for the camera.


On that site he mentions his interest in Islam but makes no suggestion he was radicalized.


It has now been overrun with people asking him how he could have committed the bombing, and wishing him dead.

The first brush with police for the family appears to been have made in June 2012 when the boys mother Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was arrested for stealing $1,624 in clothes from Lord and Taylor.


His high school friend Mercado said there was only one time he remembered him discussing terrorism.


'A friend of mine remembered a conversation he had had with Dzhokhar. It was along the lines of when justified, terrorism is not necessarily a bad thing.'

'It was a red flag but people say things all the time and you don't take it out of context. You don't believe someone's going to be a terrorist because of these conversations.'


He said friends were in disbelief when they identified Dzhokhar from FBI pictures by his trademark backwards white cap.


Just a few hours after the FBI released the photos and videos of the two young men, who were seen carrying backpacks as they mingled among marathon revelers, clashes began with them around Boston.


Authorities said surveillance tape recorded late Thursday showed him during a robbery of a 7-Eleven in Cambridge, near the campus of MIT, where a university police officer was killed while responding to a report of a disturbance, said State Police Col Timothy Alben.


The officer died of multiple gunshot wounds.


From there, authorities say, the brothers carjacked a man in a Mercedes-Benz, keeping him with them in the car for half an hour before releasing him at a gas station in Cambridge.

The man was not injured.


The search for the vehicle led to a chase that ended in Watertown, where authorities said the suspects threw explosive devices from the car and exchanged gunfire with police.


The older brother was killed.


A doctor from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said the suspect died after suffering multiple wounds from gunshots and possibly the blast of an explosive.


'There were signs of more than just gunshot wounds, said the doctor, who did not give his name.
