| Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,19, from Chechnya, accused of Boston bombing |
Upon arriving in the courtroom, Tsarnaev, 19, gave a small, lopsided smile to his two sisters. He was not looking well with a jaw injury and swelling left eye and cheek.
He told a federal judge, "Not guilty" in his Russian accent again and again as the charges were read.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been hospitalized since his capture with the charges of orchestrated the bombing along with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed during a gun battle with police three days after the attack.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested on April 19, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, in connection with the April 15 attack that left three people dead and more than 260 wounded.
He is also charged in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during their getaway attempt.
As Tsarnaev's parents remained back in Russia, his two sisters were present in court room wearing traditional Muslim hijabs. One was carrying a baby; the other wiped away tears with a tissue.
The Moscow Times reported that, In 2011, Russia asked the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to interview Tamerlan Tsarnaev over concerns relating to his interest in "radical Islam." However, an FBI statement said that it "did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign," after questioning Tamerlan and members of his family at that time.
