Tsarnaev Guilty on All Counts in Boston Bombing Tsarnaev在波士顿爆炸案中的所有指控都成立


Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty on all 30 charges Wednesday linked to the Boston Marathon bombing.


Jurors spent a little more than 11 hours considering the evidence. The trial lasted 16 days.


Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty of several counts in connection with the deaths of four people in and after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Two bombs exploded near the marathon finish line on April 15, 2013. Three people died. More than 260 other people were injured. A police officer was shot and killed on April 18, 2013, as Dzhokhar and his older brother, Tamerlan, attempted to escape police.


The 21-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev  faces possible death sentences for many of the 30 guilty findings. The state of Massachusetts has not executed anyone since 1947.


Islamic State releases over 200 Yazidis


Kurdish security officials say the Islamic State group has freed at least 216 members of Iraq's Yazidi community. They had been captives for eight months.


Witnesses say the release took place Wednesday in the northern province of Kirkuk.


The mass release is the second of its kind, after some 200 Yazidis were freed in January by the Islamic State group following five months in captivity 1.
