Suspect throat injury, Tsarnaev's throat injury is believed that it could prevent speech.
Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect of the Boston bombings, was captured alive on Friday with significant injuries to his throat that could prevent speech, a federal agent told CNN on Saturday.
The officer, who reported on condition of anonymity, did not say whether the damage would deprive the suspect's speech permanently.
Nevertheless, if the throat injuries that Tsarnaev suffered render him permanently speechless, the process of the investigation into the attacks of Boston will be delayed. Officials expect to question the suspect and clear many of the unanswered questions, starting with why.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Saturday at a press conference that the arrested suspect is in "critical condition, but stable, though still not able to communicate."
The authorities continue to believe that the two brothers acted alone and they do not believe there is an imminent danger after the death of Tamerlane Tsarnaev and the capture of his younger brother.
However, they want to know if the older brother, Tamerlane, apparently the most troubled of the two, had been persuaded by the ideas of radical Islam in his visit last year to Dagestan.
Dzhokar was transferred on Saturday to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston for treatment of his injuries.
