However, I wonder what the eventual cost will be to taxpayers in Mass. and U.S. to pay for security, jail, defense, prosecution, and prison for this guy. It would have been a whole lot less expensive if he had been killed by police.
It all depends on what they learn. The cost may be well worth it if they can gather some intel on who they were working with (if applicable).
Big Brother knew the operational details. That's why he detonated his belt when cornered. The kid probably has no knowledge of who was behind the plot.
IIRC, The older one got shot... he was found with explosives, but didn't blow himself up.
We shall see about the younger one; while not the brains of the operation, he might know something. And he will likely be easier to crack...
Yeah, the picture of him in the morgue doesn't look like he got blown up. But I'm far from an expert on such things, so maybe some of the wounds were from an explosive.
edit: and i only viewed it briefly
Might have been a retouched photo. If he didnt have a vest on, maybe one of his Pipe Bomb Grenades went off in his face?
"During the exchange of the gunfire, we believe that one of the suspects was struck and ultimately taken into custody. A second suspect was able to flee from that car and there is an active search going on at this point in time," Colonel Timothy Alben, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, told a news conference.
The wounded suspect was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he died, said Dr. Richard Wolfe, chief of emergency medicine.
"This was a trauma arrest, multiple injuries, probably, we believe, a combination of blast, potentially gunshot wounds," Wolfe told a news conference. When asked how many gunshot wounds, he said: "Unable to count."
The blast injuries may have been caused by "an explosive device, possibly shrapnel, thermal injury. It was pretty much throughout the trunk. It was multiple wounds," he said.

BOSTON (AP) — A doctor involved in treating the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died in a gunbattle with police says he had injuries head to toe and all limbs intact when he arrived at the hospital.
Dr. David Schoenfeld said 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was unconscious and had so many penetrating wounds when he arrived at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center early Friday that it isn't clear which ones killed him, and a medical examiner will have to determine the cause of death.
The older Tsarnaev's clothes had been cut off by emergency responders at the scene, so if he had been wearing a vest with explosives, he wasn't by the time he arrived at the hospital, the doctor said.
"From head to toe, every region of his body had injuries," he said. "His legs and arms were intact — he wasn't blown into a million pieces" — but he lost a pulse and was in cardiac arrest, meaning his heart and circulation had stopped, so CPR, or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, was started.
The doctor said he couldn't discuss specific treatments in the case except to say what is usually done in such circumstances, including putting a needle in the chest to relieve pressure that can damage blood vessels, and cutting open the chest and using rib-spreaders to let doctors drain blood in the sac around the heart that can put pressure on the heart and keep it from beating.
"Once you've done all of those things ... if they don't respond there's really nothing you can do. You've exhausted the playbook," he said.
