The U.S security agencies can finally take a sigh of relief as after an intense manhunt operation they have  arrested the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing on Friday night. The Police and Federal agents found the wounded suspect hiding in a back yard.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was found after a resident in Watertown saw blood on a boat parked behind his home. The man looked under a plastic cover and saw a man inside the boat, covered in blood. The FBI and Boston Police then responded and they exchanged gunfire with the suspect and threw “flash-bang” grenades into the boat in an attempt to flush him out. The suspect was later seized by a SWAT team after he did not respond to negotiators. Police said Tsarnaev was in serious condition at a hospital.

Tsarnaev’s arrest ended a wrenching week in Boston, which began with the bombings that killed three and injured more than 170 at one of the city’s most cherished events. It ended with another stunning spasm of violence, which began late Thursday night. Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, allegedly killed a police officer, carjacked a Mercedes and engaged police in a shootout in which the elder Tsarnaev was killed by Police sniper fire.

Meanwhile, Authorities have maintained that they had no proof that anybody beyond the two Tsarnaev brothers was involved in the marathon attacks. Even if it is the truth now the question arises that how these two young man became explosive experts with no formal military training.
