Charges Against Boston Bombing Suspect: Use of a WMD in the US, Malicious Destruction of Property With an Explosive Device
Two counts, charged in hospital
The hospitalized Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction – and the White House said he will be tried in a civilian court.
"He will not be treated as an enemy combatant. We will prosecute this terrorist through our civilian system of justice," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
