Bombing Suspect Awaits Charges Investigators prepared Sunday for a chance to interview the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings as they turned to finding a motive for the bombing. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was in serious condition and unable to speak because of a bullet injury to his throat before his Friday capture. Investigators have zeroed in on a trip made by his brother, Tamerlan,  to Moscow, in January 2012. It is still unclear whether Tamerlan could have had contact with militant Islamist groups in Southern Russia while there. Tamerlan was killed in a gun battle with police early Friday. Authorities have yet to charge the surviving Chechen brother, who is represented by a public defender.  Pressure cooker bombs packed with ball bearings and nails killed three people and injured 176 at the Boston Marathon Monday.

London Marathoners Honor Boston In the aftermath of Boston's bombings Sunday, London marathoners showed solidarity with 30 seconds of silence at the start of their 26 mile run through the city. Many of the thousands of spectators lining the streets were wearing black ribbons to commemorate the three dead and 170 injured in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing. The race was also marked with a 40 percent higher police presence than at last year's race. Barbara Stephenson, Charge d'Affaires at the U.S. Embassy said the commemoration underscored the "special relationship," between the two cities. "We've had responses from Her Majesty the Queen, all through Twitter from the British people, and now we have got tens of thousands of London Marathon runners wearing a black ribbon in solidarity with the people of Boston," she said.
