Two Chechen immigrant brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, are accused of planting a pair of bombs near the marathon finish line. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a Watertown shootout with police a couple of days after the attack. His younger brother was injured in the shootout then captured after he hid in a boat stored at a Watertown resident's home.
