Friend of Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Released on Bond 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
A friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been
released from jail on $100,000 bond after his arrest last week for
allegedly lying to investigators about attempts to dispose of the
suspect's belongings. Robel Phillipos, who is 19, the same age as
Tsarnaev, will remain under house arrest ahead of his trial. Two other
friends of the suspect were also charged last week after allegedly
removing a backpack, emptied-out fireworks, and a laptop from Tsarnaev's
room following the bombings.
