White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Monday that Boston bombing suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev will not be tried as an enemy combatant. "We will prosecute this terrorist through the civilian system of justice," Carney said. "Under U.S. Law, United States citizens cannot be tried in military commissions. It is important to remember since 9/11, we have used the federal court system to convict and incarcerate hundreds of terrorists." Carney noted that the federal courts have been used as the venues for the prosecution of Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American citizen for the failed May 2010 Times Square car bombing and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man known as the "Underwear bomber" who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound flight on Christmas Day 2009.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev indicated his older brother, Tamerlan, was the driving force behind the attacks and wanted to defend Islam from attack, the source said.

The 19-year-old was "Alert, mentally competent and lucid," U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler found during a brief initial court appearance in Tsarnaev's hospital room. During the hearing, he communicated mostly by nodding his head. Ref. CNN

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother, once told an interviewer before a Golden Gloves boxing competition: "I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them."

The reason Tsarnaev didn't understand Americans was not primarily cultural. Tsarnaev came to America when he was 14 or 15, an age when the vast majority of immigrants to America have assimilated quite successfully Ref. Source 7
