Top interrogation group waits to probe bombing suspect

A top US interrogation group is this evening waiting to question the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.
Nineteen year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested late yesterday after he was found seriously injured in the backyard of a suburban Massachusetts home.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick told reporters today the suspect is stable, but not yet able to communicate.
The teenager's brother, Tamerlan, who investigators believe helped plan the bombings, was killed in a shoot-out with police a day earlier.
Three people were killed and more than 170 others injured by Monday's twin bombing near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Senior US officials say members of the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group are waiting at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston as Tsarnaev recovers.
Patrick says law-enforcement professionals are hoping the suspect survives because they have a million questions that need to be answered.
