Tsarnaevs planned to set off bombs in New York's Times Square.(Reuters).The brothers believed to be responsible for bombing the Boston Marathon discussed detonating more bombs in New York City before their plans went awry, sources tell ABC News and Reuters.
According to law enforcement sources to who spoke to ABC News, Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, were planning on driving to New York on Thursday night to detonate more bombs in Times Square.
Those plans were derailed, though, when the person they carjacked in Boston late Thursday escaped. That touched off a chase and gun fight through the streets of suburban Boston that killed Tamerlan, 26, and set off a massive manhunt for Dzhokhar, 19.
Two other sources could not confirm that the suspects were headed to New York last Thursday night but said that law enforcement authorities believe the ethnic Chechen brothers had planned to travel to the city to detonate bombs at some point. Read the full story here.
