Three associates of Boston Bombers arraigned

Three suspects connected with the Boston Marathon bombings were arraigned before a federal court Wednesday on charges of conspiring to obstruct justice and lying to federal investigators. Two Kazaks in the US on student visas and a US citizen are accused of disposing of the computer and backpack in the apartment of the younger bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev after he made that request in a cell phone call while he was on the run. Investigators searching the Boston landfill for the missing items have recovered the computer.

DEBKAfile reported straight after the deadly attack that the two bombers must have had accomplices.
