Three college students have been arrested by federal authorities in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings, a Boston police source said this morning.

 

The Boston police official Twitter account said that three additional "suspects" had been taken into custody.

 

The three people were connected to Dzokhar Tsarnaev, 19, the surviving bomb suspect, at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where Tsarnaev was a student. They allegedly helped him after the bombing, a different source told the Globe.

 

Police said in the tweet that further details would follow. They emphasized that there is no threat to public safety.

 

Tsarnaev is facing federal charges of using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death in the twin bombings that struck near the Marathon finish line on April 15.

 

His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a confrontation with police in Watertown several days afterward as the two tried to flee the area. Police say they were trying to subdue him when his brother ran him over in a desperate escape.

 

Authorities say the two also killed an MIT police officer as they tried to escape. No charges have been filed yet in that case.
