There’s a new development in the Boston Marthon bombings.

Boston police have tweeted that three additional suspects  have been taken into custody.

So far there is no other information –  we don’t know if the suspects are male or female or where they were apprehended.

19-year Dzhokhar Tsarnaev  has already been charged in connection with the April 15 bombing that killed 3 people and injured more than 260.

His 26-year-old brother Tamarlan died in a shootout with police .

Meanwhile, American officials are keen to discover if Tamerlan had contact via the internet  with a Russian-Canadian last year.

Tsarnaev  was seen at a mosque in Russia known to be a gathering spot  for extremists at a time when William Plotnikov   was in the country.
