Suspects Seemed Set for Attacks beyond Boston
Now that the second of the two male suspects from the Boston Marathon bombings has been detained, the small arsenal of guns, ammunition, and explosives found in their possession have led authorities to believe that they likely planned several other attacks. More details have been uncovered as to the types of weapons used by Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, and the designs of the bomb have been linked to a terrorist manual. United States officials have said that the two suspects had acted alone in the bombings last Monday, but they are still searching for any clues or links to anyone who may have trained or inspired them to the ghastly assault near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
