Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been formally charged with killing four people and using a weapon of mass destruction.
Mr Tsarnaev, 19, faces 30 total charges in the 15 April blasts, which killed three and injured more than 260 others.
A fourth victim, a policeman, was shot dead by him and his brother as they fled authorities, prosecutors say.
If convicted, Mr Tsarnaev faces life in prison or even the death penalty, US prosecutors said.
In Boston, US Attorney Carmen Ortiz described the Tsarnaev brothers’ preparation for the attack, which she said began more than two months earlier.
