Boston bombing: 3 more suspects in custody

Boston Police arrested three more suspects today for the Boston Marathon bombing, according the the AP.

“Three additional suspects taken into custody in Marathon bombing case. Details to follow,” announced Boston Police Department said on Twitter, and added later: “Please be advised there is no threat to the public.”

Two of the suspects are college students from Kazakhstan, and friends of initial suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, arrested on April 19th.

The two have been held in jail for more than a week on allegations that they violated their student visas while attending the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

NBC reported the suspects are accused of helping Tsarnaev gather his belongings from his campus accommodation and may have attempted to mislead authorities.
