No word on charges as suspect still critical

Boston-area residents came together in prayer and reflection yesterday after a tumultuous week as the lone surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing lay hospitalised under heavy guard apparently in no shape for interrogation.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev remains in a serious condition, two days after being pulled bloody and wounded from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard.

The capture came at the end of a tense Friday that began with his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, dying in a gun battle with police.
