Boston 'bomber' captured

One of the Boston bombing suspects is dead and the second is on the loose and said to be 'armed and dangerous' after a dramatic shootout in the suburbs of the city.

The terrorist, dubbed 'Suspect 1' by the FBI, has been named as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26. He died in hospital with gunshot wounds and possible blast injuries after a fierce gun battle rocked the Watertown area hours after a police officer was shot dead at the nearby MIT campus.

His brother, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was seen on CCTV wearing a white baseball cap, is on the run and reportedly has explosives strapped to his body, The Daily Mail reports.

Boston Police Chief Ed Davis said: 'There is a terrorist on the loose who wants to kill people - do not open your door'.
Today, sources said the suspects were believed to be brothers from the Russia region near Chechnya and had lived in U.S. for at least one year.
