美国波士顿马拉松爆炸案二号嫌疑人4月19日在波士顿市郊水镇被警方拘捕。

　　美国波士顿警方19日晚间说，警方已抓获在逃的波士顿马拉松爆炸案嫌疑人，目前仍在对有关区域进行搜查。

　　美国执法部门当天在波士顿市郊水镇一带展开大规模搜捕行动，其间与嫌疑人发生交火。当天傍晚，执法人员将19岁的爆炸案嫌疑人焦哈尔·察尔纳耶夫围困在水镇的一艘小船上，对峙一段时间后将其活捉。波士顿警方在其推特网页上说，这名嫌疑人目前在押，警方仍在进一步搜查该区域。

　　据美国媒体报道，焦哈尔·察尔纳耶夫受伤，已被送往医院治疗。爆炸案的另一名嫌疑人、焦哈尔26岁的哥哥塔梅尔兰·察尔纳耶夫已经在18日深夜同警方的交火中被击毙。

　　早在警方围困嫌疑人之前，马萨诸塞州州长德瓦尔·帕特里克就已宣布解除波士顿全城戒严、恢复波士顿公交运营。但他要求居民们仍保持警惕，因为在逃的嫌疑人被怀疑携带武器。

　　马萨诸塞州警官蒂莫西·阿尔本在新闻发布会上说，警方当天派出重兵搜查水镇，排查了大约20条街道的房屋。他说，警方将撤回封锁这一地区的特警部队，但仍将有大量警员在这一地区巡逻。

　　阿尔本说，警方在接警后前往麻省理工学院调查时发现察尔纳耶夫兄弟的行踪，后者向警察开枪打死一名警察。两名嫌疑人当时身上携有爆炸物，在逃跑过程中从车窗抛出。随后警方与两名嫌疑人发生枪战，塔梅尔兰·察尔纳耶夫被击毙。

　　15日下午，在波士顿国际马拉松比赛现场突发爆炸事件，接连两起爆炸造成3人死亡、170多人受伤。经过调查，联邦调查局18日公布了两名嫌疑人的照片与视频，对他们进行通缉。

　　Boston bombing suspect detained, questions remain

　　A suspect of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings has been nabbed, authorities announced Friday night, wrapping up a day-long manhunt.

　　U.S. President Barack Obama lauded the law enforcement efforts in detaining 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, but also noted that many questions remain to be answered。

　　At a new conference before a cheering crowd, Col. Timothy Alben, superintendent of Massachusetts State Police, said: "We are eternally grateful for the outcome tonight. We have a suspect in custody."

　　The arrest came after a massive manhunt that saw the city of Boston locked down. Just after the authorities announced that they were lifting the lockdown, a resident in Watertown, a suburb of Boston where most of the operation took place, alerted police of blood on a boat in the backyard of his house。

　　"There was a call that came in to the Watertown Police," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said. "He saw blood on the boat in the backyard. He opened the tarp and saw a man covered with blood. He retreated and called us."

　　Police officers and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents rushed to the scene and found Tsarnaev, a suspected bomber in Monday's deadly blasts at the Boston Marathon finish line, he added。

　　The officers then "set up a perimeter around the boat and, over the course of the next hour or so, exchanged gunfire" with the suspect, Davis said。

　　A hostage negotiation team from the FBI eventually "removed the suspect," who was in "serious condition," he said, without providing further details。

　　Davis also said the FBI had earlier in the day taken three more people into custody in connection to the bombings。

　　U.S. District Attorney Carmen Ortiz applauded law enforcement for their work, adding that investigation was ongoing and her office would crack the motives behind the bombings and file formal charges。

　　Despite the detainment, "there are still many unanswered questions," such as what motivated the bombers and who helped them, Obama said in a televised statement from the White House shortly after the detainment。

　　"Why did young men who grew up and studied here as part of our communities and our country resort to such violence? How did they plan and carry out these attacks?" Obama added。

　　The president also mourned the victims in the bombings and the following police operation, and praised the law enforcement and local residents in greater Boston area。

　　The American people, he stressed, refused to be terrorized by such a "heinous act."

　　The manhunt for Tsarnaev started late Thursday when his elder brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, also a bombing suspect, was killed in an overnight shootout with police。

　　An army of law enforcement officers swarmed Cambridge and Watertown in Boston suburbs, trying to find him。

　　The brothers, whose photos were released by the FBI on Thursday, were identified as Suspects No. 1 and No. 2 in the marathon bombings, which killed three and injured more than 170.

　　During the manhunt operation, a campus police officer was killed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and another was severely wounded。
