at St. Joseph's Church in Medford. Mass., westward.
BOSTON — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged in his hospital room Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, and he could face the death penalty if convicted.
The criminal complaint containing the charges shed no light on the motive for the attack.

Tsarnaev, 19, was accused by federal prosecutors of joining with his older brother to set off the two pressure-cooker bombs that sprayed shrapnel into the crowd at the finish line last Monday, killing three people and wounding more than 180.
Tsarnev was listed in serious but stable condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, unable to speak because of a gunshot wound to the throat. His brother, Tamerlan, 26, died last week in a fierce gunbattle with police.

Tsarnaev was charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction against persons and property, resulting in death.
The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who have lived in the U.S. for about a decade. Investigators are focusing on a trip the older brother made last year

In its criminal complaint, the FBI said it searched Tsarnaev's dorm room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth on Sunday and found BBS as well as a white hat and dark jacket that look like those worn by one of one of the suspected bombers in the surveillance photos the FBI released a few days after the attack.
Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that Tsarnaev's throat wound raised questions about when he will be able to talk again, if ever. It was not clear whether the wound was inflicted by police or was self-inflicted.
The wound "doesn't mean he can't communicate, but right now I think he's in a condition where we can't get any information from him at all," Coats told ABC's "This Week."

Ryan Trevithick of Montana's Parrot & Exotic Bird Sanctuary reaches for "Love Love," a scarlet macaw that is being reunited with his owner Mike Taylor after 5 years, last Friday.
Man reunited with bird after 5 years

BUTTE, Mont. — A Great Falls man who lost his macaw in a divorce more than five years ago has been reupholsted with the bird, thanks to an observant friend.
Mike Taylor picked up the 25-year-old bird he calls "Love Love" at Montana's Parrot & Exotic Bird Sanctuary in Butte on Sunday.
Taylor said his wife sold the bird after a nasty divorce. "I've been kind of looking for him the whole time," he said.
A friend of Taylor's, Steven Campbell, recently spotted the bird during a visit to the sanctuary.
It took some time for Campbell to convince Taylor. Then Taylor had to convince sanctuary founder Lori McAlexander. But she said he knew things about the bird that only a previous owner could have known, like it was blind in one eye, said "love love" and liked to play peek-a-boo.
The bird was surrendered to the sanctuary a couple of years ago after it bit a woman so hard she required medical attention,
"I don't even handle him because he will bite me," she said. Love Love appeared to recognize Taylor right away.
"Hangs upside down already, let me grab his beak, does his peeky-boo, likes to tuck his head," said Taylor, who called the reunion "very heart touching."
McAlexander said.
"He's himself again already, he really is. I mean, he (didn't) forget."
Taylor also got the bird's original cage back after searching on Craiglist. A woman who obtained the contents of his ex-wife's storage unit agreed to give him the cage back at no charge.
Taylor said he initially got the bird at a Salt Lake City sanctuary after it was rescued from a woman who reportedly beat it with a broom.
"It's kind of weird how he's getting his bird and the cage," McAlexander said.
Macaws can live up to 50 years, according to the San Diego Zoo.

CAMPUS
Beginning next fall, students will have an extra month to pay their tuition and fees.
A statement from the Comptroller's Office said that tuition and fee due dates will move from Aug. 15 to Sept. 15 for Fall 2013 and from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15 for Spring 2014.
Deadline to pay fees and tuition extended
"These changes in the due date have been made to accommodate changes to the start date of the academic semester," said Katrina Yoakum, comptroller for the University. "This change also allows more time to complete financial aid steps and change course load as needed. No other dates are changing."
