The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings is seriously wounded in a hospital in the city and has been unable to speak to police.
The FBI is waiting to speak to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as it tries to determine a motive for the attack and whether the two brothers accused of the attack acted alone.
The 19-year-old was captured late on Friday after a gunfight with police that ended a day-long manhunt and sent waves of relief and jubilation throughout Boston.
His brother, Tamerlan, 26, died on early Friday after a shootout with police.
Dzhokhar had been hiding in a boat parked in the backyard of a house in the suburb of Watertown.
He was captured after a resident spotted blood on the boat and called police.
Dzhokhar is being treated at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
He was shot in the throat and is unable to speak because of injuries to his tongue, said a source close to the investigation.
"It's serious ... he's not yet able to speak," Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick told reporters last night.
"We have a million questions and those questions need to be answered."
Investigators are trying to establish whether the pair had assistance leading up to the detonation of the two bombs, which killed three people and injured 176.
The devices were pressure cookers packed with ball bearings and nails.
Tamerlan travelled to Moscow in January 2012 and spent six months in the region, a law enforcement source told Reuters.
However, it was unclear what he did while he was there and if he could have had contact with militant Islamist groups in southern Russia's restive Caucasus region.
Early indications are the brothers acted alone, Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau told CNN.
"From what I know right now, these two acted together and alone," he said. "But as far as this little ... group, I think we got our guys."
The FBI, who interviewed Tamerlan in 2011 after he was flagged by Russian authorities, believes the older brother was the leader of the pair.
However, investigators are checking on people who had contact with both brothers to see if anyone else was involved, a senior US law enforcement source said.
More details of the brother's lives are emerging.
Tamerlan was married to Katherine Russell, whose family lives in an upper middle-class neighbourhood in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The couple had a young child.
A statement on the door of the family's home read: "Our daughter has lost her husband today, the father of her child. We cannot begin to comprehend how this horrible tragedy occurred."
