Police interrogations of three of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's college friends have possibly revealed his involvement in the attack.

As I told you earlier today, police have arrested Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbaye for trying to dispose of Tsarnaev's backpack and laptop and Robel Phillipos for covering that up.

While officials interviewed Tazhayakov, he told them about Tsarnaev being able to build a bomb, according to his own account.

ABC News relayed that the discussion took place in February, about a month before the deadly explosions.

Upon being captured, he said that he was just following older brother Tamerlan's lead in going through with setting the explosives.

"Tazhayakov also informed the FBI agents that while eating a meal with Dzhokhar and [friend Dias] Kadyrbayev approximately one month prior to the Marathon bombing, Dzhokhar had explained to Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov that he knew how to make a bomb," the report reads.
