Boston police have arrested three additional suspects in regard to the bombs at the Boston Marathon on 15th April which killed three people and injured more than 260.
The police have not released any further details about these additional suspects such as their identities or alleged roles in the attacks. A spokeswoman for the Boston police department directed all questions on the suspects to the FBI, which has yet to disclose their identities.
The two brothers who allegedly placed and detonated the bombs at the marathon, Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev, were involved in a gunfight which resulted in the death of Tamerlan, and manhunt for Dzhokar, which ended 22 hours later with his arrest on 20th April.
