brothers, tamerlan and dzhokhar tsarnaev. how did they isolate them? chilling details from the fbi affidavit. at 2:38 p.m. the day of the marathon a security camera picks up the two suspects turning east on boylston from gloucester street. both are carrying knapsacks. bomber one, a few steps ahead of bomber two who made the mistake of wearing his baseball hat backwards and no sunglasses making him easily identifiable. additional security video from the forum restaurant, site of the second explosion, shows the two men standing together at 2:41 p.m. at 2:42 the same camera shows the older brother heading for the finish line. the younger one stops right in front of the restaurant. he stays there for several minutes. only when the first bomb explodes at 2:49 does he begin to walk away leaving his knapsack on the ground. ten seconds later it explodes. marathon veteran bob leonard snapped hundreds of photos at the finish line. when the fbi released the security camera footage showing images of the suspects, leonard used his time stamp to see if his camera ha

team used to arrest dzhokhar tsarnaev. they did not know if he would pull out a weapon or explosive device. they described to anderson cooper how they subdued him. >> we got close enough that at one point where both of his hands were up because of the rocking back and forth, both of his hands were up, we could see that there were no weapons in them, no ignition devices we broke away from the shield protective cover. and we just rushed him. put hands on him, grabbed him and pulled him off the boat down onto the grounds. >> all right the reason the s.w.a.t. team immediately pulled off his shirt was to check if he was wearing explosives inside a suicide vest, perhaps. let's bring in jim walsh, cnn's international security analyst. we heard from jake tapper. his reporting indicated that investigators are now communicating with dzhokhar tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the boston marathon bombing attack and learning from him, at least initially, he says that they were radicalized by watching videos online. no direct communi

dzhokhar tsarnaev. he committed a domestic crime in boston and he'll be tried in a u.s. civilian criminal court system. >> right. >> how you going to torture him? >> i mean, you're talking to the guy that supports death penalty for cop killers, terrorists. >> yeah, but how would you torture him? >> i would support, i'm talking about me, if you want to talk to the president of the united states about his policies next time you golf or go play basketball with him, you can ask him. i'm telling you as greg ball, greg ball personally -- >> i understand you are're greg ball. >> you would put me in the room with anybody from the current scumbags to bin laden, i'm telling you what i would do. as far as the policy of the united states, you got to take it up with obama. >> if you start to torture an american citizen for committing a domestic crime in america, you are crossing the rubicon. >> can i ask you a question? what would you do if you were given the opportunity? if osama bin laden, if you had 30 minutes in

right now we are waiting to hear if formal charges will be filed against dzhokhar tsarnaev. meanwhile the marathon finish line on boylston street remains a crime scene. it is still closed this morning, although they tell us it could be open in the next 24 to 48 hours. a funeral is scheduled for 11:00 for crysthri krystle campbell. p and at 2:50, bells will toll across boston for 30 seconds as the city pauses to remember the victims. let's go back to christine romans in morning with one brave 6-year-old and some of the day's other top stories. >> let's start first in colorado. a deadly avalanche killed five of his friends. on saturday a group six experienced snowboarders were caught in an avalanche 50 miles west of denver. the deadliest avalanche this more than 50 years. >> they triggered a slide, at least one was able to bail off to the side. he was partially buried, but able to get himself out and call for help. >> the jamall of the men were i 30s, all from colorado. >>> police in india arresting a second man in connection with the alleged rape of a 5-year-old girl. he's ac

so far dzhokhar tsarnaev says they worked alone but that may not be true. congressson mike rodgers is chairman of the house intelligence committee said this to "the boston herald" there are clearly more persons of interest and they're not 100% sure if there aren't other explosives. rogers also had critical words about the decision to mirandize the bombing suspect when it happened next to his hospital bed, dzhokhar tsarnaev, this is several days after his capture. athena jones joining us from washington this morning. good morning. talk to me about what more we know about that decision to read those miranda rights to dzhokhar tsarnaev when that happened. >> reporter: good morning, poppy. well we know that congressman rogers certainly wants to know more about the decision leading up to those rights being read because we know the suspect has become a lot less talkative after hearing those miranda rights. certainly he led investigators to look for the laptop, we learned from the suspect about the plans to go to new york but since he was read his rights he's gott

the capture of 19 ye-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev. today the white house made it very clear he will not be tried as an enemy combatant. it's a controversial movement i spoke earlier with john ashcroft, former attorney general to the bush administration, about it. attorney general ashcroft, thanks so much for joining us today. if you were attorney general right now, would you be recommending that dzhokhar tsarnaev be tried as an enemy combatant, or are criminal courts also okay with you? >> yes. the answer to that question is yes. fortunately, there is a mountain of evidence that would support either a state charge or a federal charge in the article iii courts, meaning the traditional criminal jurisdiction courts, and the evidence is so substantial that it probably doesn't matter whether or not anything he would say now to interrogators would be used against him. he's already -- the focus of so much hard evidence that the business about miranda warnings is probably a tempest in a teapot here. >> you were attorney general from 2001 thro

he was a classmate of dzhokhar tsarnaev. tory was also on the wrestling team with dzhokhar and joins me now. when was the last time you saw him? >> it's been a few years since i've seen him. if i've seen him around since graduating i haven't really acknowledged the fact it was him. since graduating ridge i lost touch with him and a lot of other friends i had at the school. we all kind of went our separate ways. toriie martinez, former classmate, were you scared when they evacuated parts of your neighborhood? what was that feeling when that happened? >> it wasn't really afraid, just in shock. i mean, kind of something straight out of hollywood. wasn't really expecting it to happen to you. everyone says it. when it finally happens, it's kind of unreal. fortunately for me, i wasn't evacuated from my home. i can't imagine what it was like for everyone on norfolk street to, you know, be forced out of their homes while, you know, the police, fbi was doing their investigation. >> torrie martinez is a classmate and wrestled on the s

is in front and dzhokhar tsarnaev is a few feet behind. the two are seen a half block away from a restaurant camera. a minute later, bomber one, tamerlan walks out of the crowd with a knapsack on his back. at 2:45, alleged bomber two, dzhokhar walks to the finish line. he has a cell phone in his left hand. the affidavit says he stops near a metal barrier his back to the cameras and he is apparently slipping his knapsack on the ground. he stands there for four minutes, looking at his cell phone appearing to take a picture and a deadly final 30 seconds. just before the first explosion, dzhokhar tsarnaev lifts the phone to his ear as if speaking on it. for 18 seconds he keeps the phone to his ear. as he appears to finish his call the crowd reacts to the first explosion. virtually every head turns toward the blast except for tsarnaev who virtually alone among the individuals appears calm. he glances to the east and starts walking rapidly to the west away from the finish line without his knapsack which he left where he was standing. ten seconds

and dzhokhar tsarnaev. they think she knows some details or something that could help them with the investigation. we don't think the interest in her will go away, and we can tell you that many security vehicles have been stationed outside of her house all week, poppy. >> you know, it's interesting, her lawyer kept emphasizing that she worked more than 12 hours a day, and worked seven days a week and her husband stayed home with the young child and she was out of the house a lot working, so that's a point that her lawyer made over and over again. erin, we will watch for developments. thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. >>> part of the boston investigation has stpfocussed on online al qaeda magazine that teaches terrorists explicitly how to build a bomb. our senior international correspondent, nick, joins us live from dag astan this morning. they are not just suggesting how to make a bomb but suggesting targets as well? >> reporter: what this has become is a forum for jihadists. it's developed into

>> pamela, we know that dzhokhar tsarnaev has been sedated, intubated. how would it be possible for investigators to communicate with him? >> it is certainly possible with what doctors call a sedation holiday. i spoke with our medical correspondent elizabeth cohen earlier this morning. and she tells us that if doctors or authorities really wanted to talk with him, they can decrease his sedation so that they would be able to communicate with them and that he could perhaps communicate with them in writing. because you have to remember, there is a tube down his throat. he's still on a breathing machine. but with the sedation holiday, apparently patients are still pretty out of it but they are able to understand what's being said to them. this could last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. john? >> all right. pamela brown with us here in boston this morning. i want to bring in former cia analyst peter brookes. he's a former analyst for the cia, as i said, also with the defense department. thank you so much for being with us this morning. i really app

grenades exploding as police move in to capture dzhokhar tsarnaev. as the 19-year-old steps out of the boat, police make their arrest and providing him medical care right there on the scene. >> those pictures that's a stun grenade going off right there, three of them used. let me ask you about dzhokhar tsarnaev, what kind of condition is he in now and when will police be able to question him? >> reporter: dan, he's listed in rious but stable condition here, because of the nature of his injuries, authorities haven't been able to interview him, but a special federal interrogation team is on stand by the moment he is able. dan, i think it's worth noting that the suspected killer is being treated at the same hospital where many of the victims of monday's blast were also treated. >> extraordinary. so many questions they want to ask this young man. were there other plotters? we'll see when that happens. charges could be filed as early today. >>> meantime, boston is slowly getting back to normal, a huge sense of relief, but still so much grief. but gio beni

his name is dzhokhar tsarnaev. his brother, tamerlan tsarnaev, born in russia, the one that was shot and killed. not only did he die from gunshot wounds. it is also possible he died from a bomb blast. they believe he had a bomb wrapped around his waist. they found shrapnel and there was a report they were lighting and throwing a bomb at the police during the shootout. they are very concerned, because they are considering him to be highly armed and dangerous given the fact that he might have a bomb or bombs on him. we heard enter one terrorist expert who refers to him as a tier one terrorist, meaning he is just that dangerous. he is the top of the cream of the worst if you will. they call him -- they call those type a bomb chucker. so, because of this, because they don't know where he is, they have locked down the entire town of boston and the surrounding communities of watertown and cambridge, some other neighborhoods. they have shut down the transit. they are asking people to shelter in place. do not come outside,

and he has been identified a dzhokhar tsarnaev. that is who they arelookin for, going door to door to find the man believed his brother, the other suspect, we learned he was killed overnight and this happened after a university officer at m.i.t. was shot and killed. the suspect then led police on a man hunt, a car chase, and this was gunfire. they were throwing things out of the car, explosives and that is when an officer was critically injured and the brother was shot and killed. now, police are now looking for the other suspect and they are keeping everyone on lockdown telling people not to on the door for anyone unless they are identified as a police officer. this began after a photo was released by the f.b.i. of the two bombing suspects, surveillance video that came from the day of the marathon showing the two men walking through the crowd. they had backpacks on and they told everyone we need the public's help finding the two men the again, a man has been killed overnight but they are still looking for the second suspect. i am

tamerlan tsarnaev died and dzhokhar tsarnaev fleeing. is ordeal coming to a dramatic end. in these remarkable images, it reveals that dzhokhar tsarnaev was hiding in this boat. parked beside a home in watertown, massachusetts. >> we have movement in the boat. >> reporter: a robot was later brought in to remove the boat's tarp. out of fear he might have been wearing an explosive device. >> we can't believe that, first of all, that it came to watertown and secondly it's right on our street. >> reporter: but, even as boston cheers dzhokhar tsarnaev capture, but police say this case is far from over. later this afternoon, family and friends of one of the bombing victims will gather for her wake, 29-year-old krystle campbell will be laid to rest tomorrow. dan? >> we cannot forget how her mother said after her death, it was just simply a waste. byron pitts reporting from boston this morning. thank you. >>> let's dig into those new pictures that came overnight. infrared video that take you inside the capture of the 19-year-old that effectively shut down one of the america's large

now the focus is on 19-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev. he is a chechen immigrant, a student who has attended boston area schools as jennifer talked about, the cambridge rindge latin, very prestigious cambridge public school that ben affleck, and matt damon and patrick euwing have attended. he was there for the past few years. about 6:45 this morning authorities put a name to his face and started to piece this all together. right now you have massive police presence in 4 one central area in watertown, massachusetts, literally lined from side to side with armored vehicles. the schools in boston, the tra thans transas we just said in boston all shut down in an effort to make sure that he cannot get out. they are hoping that they have him surrounded, and that one way or another they will find him. let's go to jenna. we'll bring if a guest who my have more insight into how the search goes on for this. jenna: so many questions still remain as we continue to piece together what is actually going on with this investigation. we still don't know a

at 2:42, court documents say the still unreleased video shows dzhokhar tsarnaev with a backpack walked towards the scene of a second bombing. at 2:45, he slips his backpack off. still photos show the backpack on the ground at his feet. when the first bomb goes off, the fbi says, the video shows the crowd looking towards the finish line in alarm. but the fbi says tsarnaev virtually alone among the individuals in front of the strauvent appears calm. he walks away, it says, without his backpack, and ten seconds later, the second bomb goes off in the spot where he left the backpack. the fbi says both the marathon bombs were made with pressure cookers and metal bee-bees. they contained hobby fuse similar to this. at the scene of thursday night's shootout in watertown, investigators say they found another bomb and hobby fuse and bee-bees. the fbi says they searched dzhokhar tsarnaev's dorm room and found bee-bees in what they call a large pyrotechnic and found a white hat and black jacket, resembling what was worn by the man in the suspect photos released by the fbi. a former federal prosecu

police arrested dzhokhar tsarnaev on friday. he was found bleeding heavily in a boat after an intense manhunt. police believe there was an intent to carry out other attacks. >> based on the evidence found at that scene, the explosive ordinance that was unexploded and the firepower that they had that they were going to attack other individuals. >> his older brother, tamerlan tsarnaev, was killed on friday in a gun battle with police. two years ago he was questioned by the fbi over concerns he may have had ties to armed groups. >> they had information from a foreign intelligence service that they were concerned about his possible radicalization. >> it's not clear when dzhokhar tsarnaev might be charged. the boston marathon bombings killed three people and wounded 180. he is also suspected of killing a police officer and injuring another. among the federal charges he could face is use of a weapon of mass destruction. if convicted, he could face the death penalty. the crimes were committed in the state of massachusetts, where capita

it's now just over a week since the capture of dzhokhar tsarnaev. and there are still a lot of unanswered questions about what happened and why. those questions have led investigators to a landfill about an hour away from here. it's in new bedford, massachusetts. it's near where dzhokhar went to school. cnn national correspondent, susan candiotti spoke to anderson cooper about the investigation. >> the leads to search the landfill for that laptop computer came not only from the suspect himself, the young man that is now hospitalized, but others who according to this official may have had knowledge of its whereabouts or may have played a role in ditching it, getting rid of it after the bombing. and there is evidence that leads that tamerlan, the older brother, may have been involved in drug dealing. they are looking into whether he may have supported himself through drug dealing. if they can find that laptop anderson in this landfill after it had been ditched somewhere, you know, like a dumpster that eventually made it to the landfill, if they can ge
