Also Friday , FBI agents searched a landfill near the campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth , where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student . Officials did not say what investigators were looking for . In Washington , lawmakers said that authorities are trying to determine whether or not the brothers ' mother was involved in the radicalization of her two sons .

" The Associated Press reported Friday that the bombing suspects ' mother , Zubeidat Tsarnaeva , had been added to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the Boston attack . In Russia , Tsarnaeva and her former husband , Anzor , said Thursday their sons did not carry out the Boston attack that killed three people and injured more than 250 others . In a news conference in Makhachkala , the parents said their sons were framed , and the mother accused U . S . authorities of needlessly killing Tamerlan . " What have you done with my son ? He was alive . Why did they need to kill him ? Why didn ' t they send him to , you know , Guantanamo or wherever ? Why did they kill him ? Why ? Why did they have to kill him ?

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev faces a charge of using a weapon of mass destruction , which carries a possible death sentence if he is convicted . New York officials say the suspects were devising a plan to attack Times Square as they were running from authorities . New York Police Chief Ray Kelly said Dzhokhar told investigators they planned to drive to New York to set off their remaining explosives . He said the plan fell apart when they realized the vehicle they had hijacked was running low on gas . When they stopped to refuel , the driver of the car escaped , and alerted police to their location . New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the incident shows that New York , which was hit by terrorist attacks in 2001 that killed nearly 3 , 000 people , remains an inviting target . " The fact is New York City remains a prime target for those who hate America and want to kill Americans , " said Bloomberg . U . S . officials are continuing to examine whether the Boston Marathon attack could have been prevented , as warning signs emerged that Tamerlan was turning toward extremism . Senator Lindsey Graham said he believes Boston is becoming " a case study in system failure " by U . S . intelligence agencies . “ We need to understand that Bin Laden may be dead , but the war against radical Islam is very much alive . Radical Islam is on the march and we need to up our game , ” said Graham . Authorities say Tamerlan Tsarnaev was placed on a U . S . counter - terrorism list in late 2011 . The officials say the CIA asked that his name be placed on the list after the agency was contacted by the Russian government with its concerns that he had become a radical Islamist . Moscow also issued a similar warning on him to the FBI earlier in 2011 . Officials say the agency launched an investigation , but eventually concluded he posed no threat . U . S . lawmakers have raised concerns about information sharing between U . S . law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon attack . Authorities will brief the full U . S . Senate on the investigation into the bombing . Several months after he first came to the attention of U . S . federal agents , Tamerlan Tsarnaev left the U . S . in January 2012 for a six - month visit to Russia . U . S . investigators questioned the suspects ' parents in the Russian republic of Dagestan to try to determine if Tamerlan had contacts with Islamic extremists . The family is originally from Chechnya , where Muslim insurgents have for decades been engaged in a bloody conflict with Russia .

US Jury to Decide : Death or Life in Prison for Boston Marathon Bomber After convicting Chechen immigrant Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombings , jurors will take a few days off before deciding whether to sentence him to death or life in prison . After two days of deliberations in a federal trial , the jury convicted Tsarnaev Wednesday of all 30 charges he faced , including 17 that carry a possible death penalty . The sentencing phase of the trial , which could begin as early as Monday , will be held in the same U . S . courtroom . Jurors would have to vote unanimously to sentence the 21 - year - old to death . The defense lawyers , who barely cross - examined the prosecution ' s witnesses during the first part of the trial , are expected to become much more aggressive during the penalty phase , when they will make a case that Tsarnaev ' s life should be spared . Conviction Tsarnaev ' s conviction was practically a foregone conclusion : His lawyers admitted he participated in the bombings , in which two homemade , shrapnel - packed pressure - cooker bombs were placed near the finish line of the annual race . The explosion killed three people , including an 8 - year - old boy , and injured another 264 , with 17 people losing limbs and many others maimed from flying shrapnel . But during the trial , defense attorney Judy Clarke argued that Tsarnaev , then 19 , fell under the influence of his radicalized older brother , Tamerlan , 26 . Clarke , who has successfully kept other notorious U . S . murder convicts off death row , told the jury in her closing argument , " If not for Tamerlan , it [ the bombing ] would not have happened . " Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed days after the April 15 , 2013 , blasts , when he was shot by police and run over by his brother during a chaotic getaway attempt . The brothers also shot to death a university patrol officer while attempting to flee authorities . Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , who lived in the United States for a decade before the bombings , was later found hiding in a boat parked in the backyard of a suburban Boston home . Prosecutors said he scrawled a motive for the attack on the inside wall of the boat , writing that the brothers were trying to avenge American attacks on Muslims in the U . S . wars in Iraq and Afghanistan . Defense case Legal analysts said they don ' t expect the defense case to contain any new revelations about Tsarnaev . " The crime is so horrific that they don ' t have much else really to point to , other than his age and the influence of his older brother , " said Dan Collins , a former federal prosecutor who handled the case against a suspect in the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai , India . " At this point , it ' s going to be the life experiences and the perspectives of the jurors in deciding whether or not they believe that these points are strong enough that his life should be spared , " Collins said . Meg Penrose , a death penalty expert and professor at Texas A & M University School of Law , said it will be difficult for the jury to overcome the image of Tsarnaev planting a bomb just behind a group of children , including 8 - year - old Martin Richard , who was killed . " In a crime of this magnitude , what American citizen wouldn ' t ask , ' What would drive a person to do this ? ' And , as a juror , the question becomes , what answer would satisfy you ? " she said . Massachusetts has not executed anyone since 1947 . The city ' s mayor , Marty Walsh , said he was glad to see the trial moving toward a conclusion . " I am thankful that this phase of the trial has come to an end and am hopeful for a swift sentencing process , " Walsh said . " I hope [ Wednesday ’ s ] verdict provides a small amount of closure for the survivors , families , and all impacted by the violent and tragic events . " Tsarnaev relative Meanwhile , in Russia , a relative of the brothers said she remains " completely convinced that they were not guilty of this . " " These boys didn ' t need this , " Rosa Tsarnaeva , a 66 - year - old cousin of Tsarnaev ' s father , told The Associated Press . " They never saw war , they were little when they arrived in the U . S . and grew up there . " No one in the Tsarnaev family , none of the relatives , ever took part in the military campaigns in Chechnya " in which separatists , some of them radical Islamists , fought two wars against Russian troops , she said . The brothers ' father , who also lives in Russia , has not answered repeated phone calls or responded to text messages seeking his comment . Some material for this report came from AP and Reuters .

The 1995 Rijeka bombing occurred on 20 October 1995 in Rijeka , Croatia , when an Islamic terrorist organization attempted to destroy a police station by driving a car with a bomb into the wall of the building . Twenty - seven employees in the police station and two bystanders on the street were injured , although the only person killed was the attacker . == Cause == In the last days of the Bosnian War , the Croatian Defense Council ( HVO ) , a Bosnian Croat military force , captured Talaat Fouad Qasim when he attempted to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina . Qasim , an important member of al - Gama ' a al - Islamiyya , was soon transferred to Egypt with the active help of Croatia . Because of that and because Croatia had de facto controlled the Croatian Defence Council , the military organization which had captured Talaat Fouad Qasim , a decision was made to commit a terrorist attack in Croatia . == The attack == At 11 : 21 a . m . Central European Time , a Fiat 131 Mirafiori entered the parking lot of the Primorje - Gorski Kotar County police headquarters . Due to the 90 - degree turn needed to enter the lot , the vehicle moved slowly . Near the entrance , the driver did not park in the parking spaces for civilians , but instead started to accelerate towards the wall at the end of the parking lot . Due to the low security measures , this incident was not noticed before the attack itself took place . After 15 – 20 meters , passing 8 - 10 available parking spaces in the small lot , the Fiat crashed into the stairs leading to the police station and exploded . The time of explosion was recorded as 11 : 22 a . m . local time ( 10 : 22 UTC ) . Subsequently , a police investigation found out the car was loaded with of highly - explosive TNT . The police also found a part of a Canadian passport inside the remains of the attacker ' s car . The next day , representatives of the al - Gama ' a al - Islamiyya terrorist organization from Egypt claimed responsibility for the attack , requesting extradition of Qasim . Due to an error made by the attackers , the bombing did not cause fatalities , aside from the suicide bomber himself . The police headquarters is located on a higher ground than the parking lot itself , requiring the stairs in the first place . The other apparent miscalculation involved the size of the parking lot , where the Fiat 131 had neither the space and velocity , nor the horsepower , to climb the stairs and destroy the police station wall . As a result , the police station failed to collapse and only 29 injuries were recorded ( including two unaware bystanders ) . The bomb also carved a large crater in the ground , battering nearby buildings and destroying vehicles . == Aftermath == With the help of the CIA , officials examined the video footage of the attack . American and Croatian investigative sources came to the conclusion that Hassan al - Sharif Mahmud Saad had organized this attack . Saad had come to live in Bosnia only that year ; previously , he had been living in Italy . Soon after the attack , Bosnian officials discovered that Saad was planning a new terrorist attack , against NATO forces , which was to happen in December 1995 . A few days after that attack failed , he was killed in central Bosnia in a firefight with Croatian Defense Council forces . == See also == * 1993 Hidroelektra Workers Massacre == References == == Other sources == * Novi List ( newspaper of Rijeka )

The 1995 Rijeka bombing occurred on 20 October 1995 in Rijeka, Croatia, when an Islamic terrorist organization attempted to destroy a police station by driving a car with a bomb into the wall of the building.Twenty-seven employees in the police station and two bystanders on the street were injured, although the only person killed was the attacker.== Cause ==In the last days of the Bosnian War, the Croatian Defense Council (HVO), a Bosnian Croat military force, captured Talaat Fouad Qasim when he attempted to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina.Qasim, an important member of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, was soon transferred to Egypt with the active help of Croatia.Because of that and because Croatia had de facto controlled the Croatian Defence Council, the military organization which had captured Talaat Fouad Qasim, a decision was made to commit a terrorist attack in Croatia.== The attack ==At 11:21 a.m. Central European Time, a Fiat 131 Mirafiori entered the parking lot of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County police headquarters.Due to the 90-degree turn needed to enter the lot, the vehicle moved slowly.Near the entrance, the driver did not park in the parking spaces for civilians, but instead started to accelerate towards the wall at the end of the parking lot.Due to the low security measures, this incident was not noticed before the attack itself took place.After 15–20 meters, passing 8-10 available parking spaces in the small lot, the Fiat crashed into the stairs leading to the police station and exploded.The time of explosion was recorded as 11:22 a.m. local time (10:22 UTC).Subsequently, a police investigation found out the car was loaded with  of highly-explosive TNT.The police also found a part of a Canadian passport inside the remains of the attacker's car.The next day, representatives of the al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya terrorist organization from Egypt claimed responsibility for the attack, requesting extradition of Qasim.Due to an error made by the attackers, the bombing did not cause fatalities, aside from the suicide bomber himself.The police headquarters is located on a higher ground than the parking lot itself, requiring the stairs in the first place.The other apparent miscalculation involved the size of the parking lot, where the Fiat 131 had neither the space and velocity, nor the horsepower, to climb the stairs and destroy the police station wall.As a result, the police station failed to collapse and only 29 injuries were recorded (including two unaware bystanders).The bomb also carved a large crater in the ground, battering nearby buildings and destroying vehicles.== Aftermath ==With the help of the CIA, officials examined the video footage of the attack.American and Croatian investigative sources came to the conclusion that Hassan al-Sharif Mahmud Saad had organized this attack.Saad had come to live in Bosnia only that year; previously, he had been living in Italy.Soon after the attack, Bosnian officials discovered that Saad was planning a new terrorist attack, against NATO forces, which was to happen in December 1995.A few days after that attack failed, he was killed in central Bosnia in a firefight with Croatian Defense Council forces.== See also ==*1993 Hidroelektra Workers Massacre== References ==== Other sources ==*Novi List (newspaper of Rijeka)

Defense Admits Suspect ' s Guilt in Boston Marathon Bombing The defense lawyer for suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told the jury at his trial Wednesday that he helped carry out the deadly 2013 attack , but contended that Tsarnaev ' s older brother was the mastermind behind the plot . " It was him , " attorney Judy Clarke said of her client , who is facing the death penalty if convicted of setting off a pair of homemade pressure - cooker bombs , packed with nails and ball bearings , at the finish line of the annual race in 2013 that killed three people and injured another 264 . Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to the 30 counts against him , including the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days after the bombings as the Tsarnaevs tried to flee . Clarke , one of the U . S . ' s foremost death penalty legal specialists , told jurors on the first day of the trial the defense will not " sidestep " Tsarnaev ' s guilt . Influence of older brother But she claimed that he was deeply influenced by his older brother , Tamerlan Tsarnaev , 26 , to carry out the attack , which a prosecutor alleged was aimed at avenging U . S . wars in Muslim countries . Dzhokhar Tsarnaev inadvertently killed his brother , running over him with a car , as they attempted to elude police days after authorities had identified them as suspects in the bombings . In this courtroom sketch , defense attorney Judy Clarke is depicted delivering opening statements in front of U . S . District Judge George O ' Toole Jr . , on the first day of the federal death penalty trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , March 4 , 2015 , in Boston . " It was Tamerlan Tsarnaev who self - radicalized , " Clarke said . " It was Dzhokhar who followed him . The evidence will show that Tamerlan planned and orchestrated and enlisted his brother into this series of horrific acts . " In blaming the older brother , Clarke ' s strategy appeared aimed at sparing the 21 - year - old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev from the death penalty . If Tsarnaev is convicted , the jury will decide whether he is executed or gets life in prison without the possibility of parole . The approach set up an immediate conflict with U . S . District Judge George O ' Toole , who had ruled that the question of the relative culpability of the two brothers was best left to the trial ' s second phase , once Dzhokhar ' s guilt has been established . “ Some evidence of the brother ' s interactions will be inevitable , ” O ' Toole allowed in brief remarks before the trial opened . But he interrupted Clarke multiple times to warn her against going too deep into family history . Defense lawyers had fought up to the last minute to have the trial moved out of Massachusetts , arguing the emotional impact of the bombings ran too deep and too many people had personal connections to the case . Their requests were rejected by O ' Toole and a federal appeals court . Prosecutors lay out case In his opening statement , U . S . prosecutor William Weinreb accused the younger Tsarnaev of detonating bombs designed to " tear people apart and create a bloody spectacle .

Charting the data for US airstrikes in Pakistan , 2004 - 2015 Created by Bill Roggio Since 2004 , the US has been conducting a covert program to target and kill al Qaeda and Taliban commanders based in Pakistan ' s lawless northwest . The program has targeted top al Qaeda leaders , al Qaeda ' s external operations network , and Taliban leaders and fighters who threaten both the Afghan and Pakistani states . The charts below look at the following : 1 ) the number of US airstrikes inside Pakistan per year ; 2 ) civilian casualties vs . Taliban / al Qaeda casualties ; 3 ) the distribution of strikes over time by tribal agencies ; 4 ) the overall distribution of strikes , by tribal agencies ; 5 ) the distribution of strikes over time by territories targeted ; 6 ) the overall distribution of strikes , by territories targeted ; and 7 ) the number of high value targets killed in territories managed by individual Taliban commanders . The data is obtained from press reports from the Pakistani press ( Daily Times , Dawn , Geo News , The News , and other outlets ) , as well as wire reports ( AFP , Reuters , etc . ) , as well as reporting from The Long War Journal . Given the Taliban ' s control of the areas where strikes occur , and a dearth of reporters in those areas , the exact numbers for casualties are difficult to know . The numbers below are estimates based on press reporting . For a list of al Qaeda and Taliban leaders thought to have been killed in the attacks , see LWJ report , Senior al Qaeda and Taliban leaders killed in US airstrikes in Pakistan 2004 - 2014 . This page was last updated on Wednesday , January 28 , 2015 , 12 : 24 pm Eastern . These seven charts will be updated when information about prior or new strikes comes to light . Predator Strikes History The US ramped up the number of strikes in July 2008 , and has continued to regularly hit at Taliban and Al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan . There have been 381 strikes total since the program began in 2004 ; 370 of those strikes have taken place since January 2008 . Predator Strikes Casualties Since 2006 , there have been 2 , 748 leaders and operatives from Taliban , Al Qaeda , and allied extremist groups killed and 156 civilians are estimated to have been killed . Data for 2004 and 2005 are not available at this time . Predator Strikes by District by Year Over the past six years , the strikes have focused on two regions : North and South Waziristan . Over the past two years , there has been a dramatic shift in the location of the strikes . In 2009 , 42 % of the strikes have taken place in North Waziristan and 51 % in South Waziristan . In 2010 , 89 % of the strikes have taken place in North Waziristan and 6 % in South Waziristan . Predator Strikes by District Of the 381 strikes since 2004 , 72 % have hit targets in North Waziristan , and 23 % have hit targets in South Waziristan . Predator Strikes by Faction The majority of the attacks have taken place in the tribal areas administered by four powerful Taliban groups : the Mehsuds , Mullah Nazir , Hafiz Gul Bahadar , and the Haqqanis . In 2010 , there was a dramatic shift in strikes to tribal areas administered by Hafiz Gul Bahadar . Predator Strikes by Faction Mullah Nazir and Waliur Rehman are based in South Waziristan ; the Haqqanis , Hafiz Gul Bahadar , and Abu Kasha al Iraqi are based in North Waziristan ; Hakeemullah Mehsud is based in Arakzai ; and Faqir Mohammed is based in Bajaur . Two bases operated by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar were hit in South Waziristan . For eight of the strikes , territorial control has not been reported . Predator Strikes and High - value Targets The Pakistani government considers Nazir ( who has been killed in a US drone strike ) , the Haqqanis , Bahadar , and Hekmatyar to be ' good Taliban ' as they do not carry out attacks against the Pakistani state .

Wealth of Clues Led to Quick Arrest of New York Suspected Bomber NEW YORK — The man suspected of planting bombs in a New York neighborhood and a New Jersey seaside town may have aimed to inflict carnage incognito , but he didn ' t succeed for long in concealing his identity . Ahmad Khan Rahami provided investigators with a wealth of clues that led to his arrest about 50 hours after the first explosion , according to three law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation . His fingerprints and DNA were found at the scene of the Manhattan bombing , they said . His uncovered face was clearly captured by surveillance cameras near the spot of the blast . Electronic toll records show a car to which he had access was driven from New Jersey to Manhattan and back to New Jersey the day of the bombing , according to the officials , who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren ' t authorized to discuss an ongoing case . Those and other clues spurred officials to publicize his name and photo Monday morning , asking for help finding Rahami , 28 , a Muslim U . S . citizen born in Afghanistan , who lives with his family in Elizabeth , New Jersey . As the investigation heated up , a bar owner in Linden , New Jersey , reported someone asleep in his doorway . An officer went to investigate and recognized the man as Rahami , police and the mayor said . Rahami pulled a gun and shot the officer — who was wearing a bulletproof vest — in the torso , and more officers joined in a running gun battle along the street and brought Rahami down , police Capt . James Sarnicki said . Another police officer was grazed by a bullet . " A lot of technology involved in this , but a lot of good , old - fashioned police work , too , " said New York Police Commissioner James O ' Neill . He said now , investigators would " make sure that we get to the bottom of who ' s involved and why . " After surgery for a gunshot wound to his leg , Rahami was being held on $ 5 . 2 million bail , charged with five counts of attempted murder of police officers . Federal prosecutors said they still were weighing charges over the bombings . Rahami remains hospitalized . Messages left for family members were not immediately returned . It wasn ' t clear when Rahami would get an attorney . Officials said they have no other suspects at large , but cautioned they are still investigating . The bombing spread fear across the New York area and revived anxiety about homegrown terrorism nationwide . As the East Coast was rattled by the bombings , a man who authorities say referred to Allah wounded nine people in a stabbing rampage at a Minnesota mall Saturday before being shot to death by an off - duty police officer . Authorities are investigating the stabbings as a possible terrorist attack but have not drawn any connection between the bloodshed there and the bombings . William Sweeney Jr . , the FBI ' s assistant director in New York , said there was no indication so far that the bombings were the work of a larger terror cell . Rahami wasn ' t on any terror or no - fly watch lists , though he had been interviewed for immigration purposes traveling between the U . S . and Afghanistan , one of the law enforcement officials said . Rahami and his family live above their restaurant — called First American Fried Chicken — and the family has clashed with the city over closing times and noise complaints , which the Rahamis said in a lawsuit were tinged with anti - Muslim sentiment . The lawsuit was terminated in 2012 because one of Rahami ' s brothers had pleaded guilty to blocking police from enforcing closing hours at the restaurant . A childhood friend , Flee Jones , said Rahami had become more religious after returning from a trip to Afghanistan several years ago . Still , some of the family restaurant ' s customers said Rahami was more likely to talk about his interest in cars than to mention faith . " He ' s a very friendly guy , " patron Ryan McCann said . " That ' s what ' s so scary . " The investigation began when a pipe bomb blew up Saturday morning in Seaside Park , New Jersey , before a charity race to benefit Marines . No one was injured . Then a shrapnel - packed pressure - cooker bomb exploded Saturday night in New York ' s Chelsea section , wounding 29 people , none seriously . An unexploded pressure - cooker bomb was found blocks away . Late Sunday night , five explosive devices were discovered in a trash can at an Elizabeth train station , about 3 miles from where Rahami was later found asleep in the doorway of a bar . Investigators are still gathering evidence and have not publicly tied Rahami to those devices , though Sweeney noted they aren ' t " ruling anything out . " The bombs discovered Saturday all used flip cellphones as a trigger and were all made with easily purchasable materials , a federal law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity said . After zeroing in on Rahami and learning of the car that had traveled between New Jersey and New York , authorities pulled it over Sunday night after it headed in the direction of Kennedy airport . The law enforcement officials said at least one of Rahami ' s relatives was in the car . All five were questioned and released , Sweeney said . He declined to say whether they might later face charges . Around the time Rahami was captured , President Barack Obama was in New York on a previously scheduled visit for a meeting of the U . N . General Assembly . He called on Americans to show the world " we will never give in to fear . "
