Three more arrests have been made in connection with the bombing attack in Boston at the marathon held there on April 15th.

Boston police state that the three were taken into custody by the FBI.

Massachusetts governor, Deval Patrick said that the three that are being detained are suspected of events after the attacks and are not considered to have taken part in or were involved with the plot prior to the attack in Boston.

Two of the detained have been identified as former classmates of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. The lawyer representing the two identified as Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev have been in jail for over a week. They were being held on allegations that they had violated their student visas.

Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev will appear in court this afternoon on the new charges of obstruction and false statements connected with the Boston incident. They are believed to have destroyed evidence in the bombing case.

The identity of the third suspect has not been released.
