Upon interviewing Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, officials reveal the brothers' intentions to set off bombs for the 4th of July.

According to the Boston Globe, the pair set off to build the pressure cooker bombs by July but managed to do so quicker than expected.

An alternate plan involved placing explosives in police stations, prompting a survey of stations in Boston and Cambridge before deciding to set them off during the Marathon.

Meanwhile, the FBI now have custody of the surviving bomb suspect's laptop. As I told you, it was originally concealed by the 19-year-old's college friends.

However, they did not go through with throwing it away and it may prove useful in figuring out his motivation for the attacks.

Dias Kadyrbayev, also 19, has been questioned and charged for conspiring to get rid of the evidence.
