Federal prosecutors charged Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at his hospital bed Monday, Reuters reports.
The criminal complaint charges mean Tsarnaev won’t be treated as an enemy combatant.
“We will prosecute this terrorist through our civilian system of justice,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said. “Under U.S. law, United States citizens cannot be tried in military commission.”
Tsarnaev has been unable to speak because of his injuries.
