The arrests come two weeks after two bombs were detonated at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring scores more.

Days later, suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev led police on a car chase through city streets days later. Elder brother Tamerlan was killed following a gunfight with authorities and Dzhokhar was taken into custody.
