More details have emerged about the Friday night capture that brought the intensive manhunt for the Boston bombing suspects to an end. Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, had been hiding in a boat in Watertown, Mass. Authorities responded to a call from a local man late Friday, after he observed that a tarp covering his boat had been disturbed and there was blood in the boat.
The FBI hostage rescue teams (HRT) planned and executed their operation to clear the boat by lobbing "flash-bangs" into it, which forced the young man to climb out, according to CBS News senior correspondent John Miller. Later the agents observed that Dzhokhar had been shot in the neck and in the leg.
Based on "the amount of blood" the homeowner saw in the boat, it is likely Dzhokhar was shot as long as 20 hours before being discovered, Miller said, referring to the battle earlier Thursday that led to the death of the other bombing suspect, Dzhokhar's 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan.
It was a "fierce gun battle with police after the carjacking and the car chase, at which point they were apparently exchanging gun fire, but also throwing homemade grenades and one large satchel bomb at police officers, so he had been bleeding for a long time," Miller said.
In a photo of authorities apprehending Dzhokhar released Friday, a SWAT team medic can be seen administering an "ambu" resuscitation bag to assist him in his breathing. Another photo shows Dzhokhar climbing out of the boat under his own power, following the commands of the HRT (Hostage Rescue Team), and Miller said it is clear from the images that, "this is a guy who was very weak at this point and probably -- had he not been discovered -- he might not have lived."
A Department of Justice official told CBS News that the arresting agents used an exemption clause to the Miranda law, allowing them to first question Tsarnaev on immediate security concerns before reading him his rights.
"In a case when there are exigent circumstances -- public safety is involved," explains Miller, the exception can be invoked to quickly obtain information; namely "are there other explosives? Is there another plot to blow something up? Are there other people?"
Still, the use of the public safety exception is rare. "We almost never see that," Miller said, adding that i was last invoked to question Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called "underwear bomber" on the Christmas Day 2009 flight into Detroit.
In the coming weeks authorities will continue to question Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who Miller calls "an intelligence windfall." He added that the primary questions for Tsarnaev are those posed by President Obama in his addresses to Boston and to the nation throughout the week: "How did you do this? How did you plan this? And did you have help?"

Either to rot in jail for the next 60 years or (more likely) to rot in jail for the next 15 or 20 before they stick a needle in his arm.
The leftists will turn him lose and some liberal college will hire him.
Is it actually ‘infiltration’ when they are purposely hiered into the job by those aiding and abetting? ... And our congress rubber stamped Brennan recently ...
It’s going to be interesting to see how much the communist propaganda machine posing as our main stream media will ignore the Islamic connection in all this. I noticed last night CNN was calling the Islamic terrorists “boys”. “Oh the police have captured the boy in the boat but the boys brother has been killed. Both boys were being chased by police last night...”
I am praying he get leprosy... and diabetes....
He'll be a professor in some upstanding University or will receive a czar position in the white hut. I'm not sure which.
Why didn't they use a drone?
Highly trained cop, practicing poor muzzle control.
re: “How about a Republican president? After 911 Bush allowed into the U.S. more Muslims than the previous two decades...”
I’m not the one who said “he can pal around with a future Democrat president”, but I think the poster who did was referring to Bill Ayers and Obama. I think he was making a joke.
If Bush did what you claim that was indeed stupid, but name me some Republican president who hung around with former terrorists who set bombs at American military buildings or who killed American police personnel and are now professors in an American university?
I read that he was hit (shot) in the neck and a leg..
Didn’t one of the pictures at the marathon show one brother on a cell phone? Who was he talking to?
"Boys"??? You've got to be kidding me.
Hubby and I checked MSNBC for just a few minutes last night. Lots of long faces there. As always, they seemed uncomfortable and apologetic that we were - yet again - facing radical Muslim perps committing heinous, despicable crimes against innocent people on American soil. Such a shame the perp wasn't a white Tea Party type, huh?
It will be interesting indeed to see how the commie propaganda machine (aka MSM) will handle this...
‘...in 12 years he’ll receive a professorship and tenure at one of our universities.’
my thought too! and, of course, he’ll write a book and make a ton of money. sad to think this way but, more sadly, this is possible by the disgraceful politically correct philosophy of our politicians and media.
Couldn’t believe his father said he had a bright future ahead of him. How out of touch was that?
Not at all, from a Jihadi father!
Was he an aspiring Rap Artist?
Why did it take so long?

Because Americans have been educated to give up their own independence and courage....”You didn’t build that”....and have been taught that guns are bad and Life is sacred..(unless its an innocent baby).
Years ago the men in the neighorhoods would have gotten their guns and searched their property and blocks and streets and found this muslim terrorists before the first tweet/youtube/facebook comment was out. You would have had ONE MILLION MEN LOOKING FOR THE TERRORIST....INSTEAD....YOU HAD 5 MILLION AMERICANS HIDING FROM TWO SCUMBAGS....THOUSAND OF POLICE RUNNING AROUND ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING! ......IF IT WASN’T FOR AN ORDINARY CITIZEN, ONE SINGLE ORDINARY UNPAID CITIZEN.....THE TERRORIST WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FOUND!
re: “sad to think this way but, more sadly, this is possible by the disgraceful politically correct philosophy of our politicians and media.”
Absolutely correct.
What conspiracy? It’s actually happened. Remember the Lockerbie Bomber?
[...the owners of the boat have a big mess to clean up.]
Don’t worry, if they find out he’s an 0 supporter they will send him a new and bigger boat and a clean up crew.
If he’s a republican they’ll send him some cheap paper towels and a bottle of Windex.
For 24 hours the bombers family was silent. No calls from mother, father, aunt, cousins, no friends nor college room mates called to turn them in.
Co-conspirators?
‘...Why didn’t they use a drone?’
I wondered the same.
