(CNN) -- Two classmates of Boston Marathon bomb suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and a third person face federal charges in connection with the April 15 attack, a federal law enforcement source said Wednesday.
Boston police announced the arrests Wednesday morning, adding that there was "no threat to the public." They were expected to appear before a federal judge Wednesday afternoon, U.S. government sources said.
The classmates -- Azamat Tazhayako and Dias Kadyrbayev -- are both from Kazakhstan and had been in federal custody on immigration charges already, their lawyers told CNN. The third person arrested is a U.S. citizen.
The Kazakh students face charges of making false statements to investigators and conspiracy to obstruct justice, according to a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
Latest on the investigation
No details of the charges against the third person were immediately available. But Alan Dershowitz, a prominent defense attorney and Harvard law professor, said the new charges don't appear to be related to the bombing itself.
"If they knew about the bombing, if they were involved in the bombing, the charges would be conspiracy to do the acts for which the other man has already been charged," Dershowitz told CNN. "So it sounds like at this point in time the only evidence they have is actions that took place after the bombing."
Two bombs exploded in the crowd gathered near the finish line of the marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 260. Federal agents blame Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, of carrying out the attack.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a shootout with police on April 19, while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was wounded but survived.
Tazhayako and Kadyrbayev appear in a photograph with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev taken in New York's Times Square during an earlier visit. They were taken into custody last month on charges that they had violated the terms of their student visas and had already been questioned by investigators on April 19, hours before Tsarnaev's arrest, Kadyrbayev attorney Robert Stahl told CNN.
Federal law enforcement sources said at the time that the Kazakh students were being detained "in an abundance of caution" because authorities wanted detailed information on the Tsarnaevs' movements in the weeks and days before the attack.

I'm struggling to get my head round the fact that a home-made pressure cooker bomb is defined as a "weapon of mass destruction" yet a legally held, fully automatic assault rifle isn't.

Only in America ...

Didn't you know? We went after Osama because he had some pressure cooker bombs! They is dangerous stuffs!

Hitler wasn't a socialist. He was a fascist. Different ends of the political spectrum. (Mussolini coined the term fascism. Which is a merger of state power with corporate power.)
And actual socialism, whereby working people take control of the state, hasn't really happened -- over a long stretch.
There was Spain. Briefly. Paris. Briefly.
And the Kibbutz.
But nothing large scale over an extended period.
Centralizing power -- like Stalin, like Mao, like Pol Pot -- is the antithesis of actual socialism.
Again, socialism is, at its core, about working people running their own affairs, controlling their own destiny, as it were. It's about handing power to people.
Would actual socialism work? Who knows. Would actual capitalism work? Doubtful. I mean, strip away the functions of government and see what happens....
Both may and could work in small numbers. I mean, you might be able to have a capitalist paradise with a population of, say, 300 people. Same with actual socialism. I don't know.
So, pure -- and I mean pure -- capitalism has never happened. If we were to have pure capitalism we'd have to remove government from the equation. Again, would that work? I mean, it'd be a raw experiment involving millions and millions of people.
Pure capitalism would mean: no child labor laws, no minimum wage laws, no public police force etc., etc.
Wanna try it???
Again, the centralization of power is not socialism.
And government intervention in a system isn't capitalism.
I mean, Stalin was a pure statist.

What school did you go to ,Its a nice big lie that he wasn't a socialist ,invented to distance European communist parties post ww2 .National Socialism = Nazi .Just to make the point I'll leave it to the nasty little shit, to educate stupid modern political illiterates, "We are Socialists, we are enemies of the capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions".Socialism is Right wing ,every socialist dictatorship degenerates into what you say is right wing .

We dont live in a capitalist society ,It corporatism ,with a very thin veneer of democracy .

100% capitalism nor 100% socialism has ever been used for large nations. Probably because it wouldn't work that well.
