BOSTON, May 2 (UPI) — A laptop computer belonging to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is now in the hands of federal agents, sources tell CNN.
A law enforcement official said the computer was not discovered during a search last week of a landfill in southeastern Massachusetts, CNN reported. Its sources did not say how the FBI came in possession of the laptop.
Two of Tsarnaev’s friends were charged Wednesday with helping him by removing items from his room at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and dumping them. Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19-year-olds from Kazakhstan, got to know Tsarnaev at UMass.
Robel Phillipos, 19, a classmate of Tsarnaev at Cambridge Rindge and Latin, was charged with lying to the FBI.
Kadyrbayev posted photos on a Russian social networking site, VKontakte, The New York Times reports. One shows Kadyrbayev, Tazhayakov, Tsarnaev and two other friends in Times Square during a trip to New York last year.
