Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been detained, as I reported earlier. He has been arrested without having his Miranda rights read, reports say.

CNN Anchor and Washington correspondent Jake Tapper tweets that the procedure followed in Tsarnaev's arrest marks a public safety exception applicable in crimes of terror.

The reporter also mentions that the suspect will be interrogated by the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, a task force created in 2009 for the questioning of potential terrorists and individuals that put national security at risk.

According to Wikipedia, the unit includes reps of the State and Defense Departments, the FBI and the CIA.

The cross-agency body deals with counterterrorism, weapons of mass destruction and interrogates “high-value detainees.”

"CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody," the Boston PD tweeted.
