Boston Bombings: Footage Of Suspect Hiding

A video has been released by police showing the operation to capture the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.

Thermal imaging footage from a helicopter depicts a glowing white mass - Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding in a boat before he was detained by officers.

One section of the video was of a police vehicle using an extended robotic arm to remove a tarpaulin covering the vessel while others showed officers detonating incendiary devices on the boat.

Tsarnaev, 19, was captured late on Friday after a gunfight with police that ended the city-wide search.

The suspect remains under armed guard in hospital unable to speak, as investigators try to find a motive for the attack.

His brother Tamerlan, 26, died earlier on Friday after a shootout with the police. Officers are working to determine whether the two ethnic Chechen brothers accused of the attack acted alone.

A law enforcement source said Tamerlan travelled to Moscow in January 2012 and spent six months in the region.

But it remains unclear what he did while he was there, or whether he had contact with militant Islamist groups in southern Russia's restive Caucasus region.

A website used by North Caucasus rebels has reportedly denied any link to the marathon bombings.

"The command of the Vilayat Dagestan mujahedeen... declares that the Caucasus fighters are not waging any military activities against the United States of America," the website said.

"We are only fighting Russia, which is not only responsible for the occupation of the Caucasus, but also for monstrous crimes against Muslims," the rebel site said.

Sky's Moscow correspondent Katie Stallard said the development was "very significant" because authorities will be looking for the ideology behind the attacks.

She said: "Until they are able to speak to Dzhokhar to get information from him, they will be working backwards through these men's history in terms of travel, where they have been physically, websites they have visited, material they have looked at online."

Stallard added: "There are allegedly videos that the older brother Tamarlan had been looking at which identified him with the cause of the Caucases emirate.

"It's a separatist moment down in the south of Russia, started as a Chechen nationalist movement that has become a movement towards an independent Islamic state in that region."

Dzhokhar had been hiding in the boat that was parked in the garden of a house in the suburb of Watertown. He was captured after the owner spotted blood on the boat and called the police.

Dzhokhar is being treated at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston.

Residents in Watertown have held a vigil to remember those who were killed and injured in the attacks. 

As night fell, those gathered at the Watertown High School lit candles as a mark of respect for the victims.

Investigators are trying to establish whether the brothers had assistance leading up to the detonation of bombs made in pressure cookers and packed with ball bearings and nails.

Three people died in the attacks at Monday's marathon and another 176 were injured.

The FBI, which interviewed Tamerlan in 2011 after he was flagged by Russian authorities, believes the older brother was the leader of the pair.

Investigators are checking on people who had contact with both brothers to see if anyone else was involved.

Dzhokhar was shot in the throat and could not speak because of injuries to his tongue, said a source close to the investigation.

It was unclear when he would be able to talk or when he would be charged.

"It's serious ... he's not yet able to speak," Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick told reporters. "We have a million questions - and those questions need to be answered."

Meanwhile, the family that found Dzhokhar bloodied and hiding in their garden have spoken about the discovery of the suspect.

David Hennebury tipped off the authorities after he noticed blood under a tarpaulin covering his boat.

His stepson Robert Duffy said: "As soon as the ban on going out was lifted they went outside and walked around. The wind had picked up and the tarp on the boat had kind of lifted, which he found strange.

"He went over to the boat for a closer look and found a strap that had been cut - not torn or worn through.

"He noticed a small amount of blood in this area and when he went under the tarp he saw a small pool of blood immediately there.

"He looked forward and because the tarp obscured a lot of sunlight, he saw what he believed to be a crumpled body bloodied in the front of the boat.

Massachusetts State Police used infra-red to spot Dzhokhar

"He immediately panicked, dropped off the ladder and called 911, and with all of the SWAT and physical police presence right there in that neighbourhood and street, they descended on them and immediately evacuated them.

"So they are safe, that's the most important thing, and the suspect has been apprehended."

During their getaway attempt, the brothers apparently killed Massachusetts Institute of Technology policeman Sean Collier and severely wounded another officer.
