Boston Bomb Suspect’s Pals Indicted
Two men connected to the Boston Marathon bombings were indicted by a federal grand jury today for allegedly lying to investigators and disposing of evidence from the dorm room of bomb suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Dias Kadyrbayev, 19, and Azamat Tazhayakov, 19, nationals of Kazakhstan who were residing in New Bedford, Mass., on student visas, are now charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstructing justice with the intent to impede the Boston Marathon bombing investigation.
Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov, whose car had a vanity plate of Terrorista#1, were originally arrested on visa violations, but were later charged in connection with the bombings on May 1. They have been held without bail at the Middleton Jail.
