Americans continue to follow reports on people and events linked to a bomb attack more than a week ago during the Boston Marathon.
Two young men are accused of carrying out the attack. The two are brothers. The surviving suspect told investigators that he and his older brother had planned to drive to New York City to explode more bombs. Nineteen year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev spoke from a hospital where he was taken after his capture.
His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died last week after a gun fight with police. He was 26 years old.
Police say the brothers caused two explosions near the finish line for the race. The explosions killed three people, including an eight-year- old boy and wounded more than 250 others.
The Tsarnaev brothers came to the United States with their family as refugees from the Chechen conflict with Russia.
Silvia Dominguez teaches sociology at Northeastern University in Boston. She says it is important to note that the Tsarnaev brothers were not immigrants, but refugees forced from their homeland by danger and conflict. She says refugees carry strong beliefs about the conflicts they fled. She says this is especially true when they leave areas where they experienced unfair treatment.
