They said that Misha had not had contacted the Tsarnaev for years and he is cooperating completely with the investigation².

Among them, two students from Kazakhstan who were arrested in New Bedford soon after the attacks. They are now being held on immigration violations⁵. Dina Temple-Raston, NPR News.

　　官员表示，他们与那名称为Misha的男子谈过，他认识其中一名爆炸案嫌犯塔梅尔兰·察尔纳耶夫。他似乎并不是促使塔梅尔兰·察尔纳耶夫变得激进的人。他们表示，Misha与察尔纳耶夫几年都没有联系过，他目前正在全力配合调查工作。官员表示，询问范围正在扩大。调查人员正在调查的人有12名，他们认为这些人在爆炸案前后帮助过察尔纳耶夫兄弟。在这些人中，有两名来自哈萨克斯坦的学生，他们在爆炸案发生后不久就在新贝德福德市被捕。目前二人因违反移民法被关押。NPR新闻，迪娜·坦普·拉斯顿报道。
