CBS News reports that Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar while in their carjacking victim's car in Watertown on Thursday night spoke to each other in Russian.

The driver told investigators "‘the only word I recognized was Manhattan" which prompted a shutdown of Amtrak between Boston and New York and searches of trains. The NYPD also began reading license plates at the toll bridges as a precaution at the bridges and tunnels.

More charges are ahead for Dzokhar Tsarnaev.

State prosecutors expect to charge Dzokhar Tsarnaev. separately in the killing of  MIT police officer Sean Collier who was shot in his cruiser Thursday night on the school's campus in Cambridge.

Federal prosecutors could also add new charges when he's indicted in the bombing.

Still unable to speak because of wounds, Tsarnaev answered questions in writing yesterday.

U.S. officials say Tsarnaev and his brother appear to have been motivated by their religious views, not any connection to any Muslim terrorist groups.
