These were bombs that were used....remember...
The charge applies here.
There's the logic I predicted:
Next it will be mass murderer shoots a mass of people... with a GUN... now the gun is the WMD... following that logic.
No, the definition of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" has been changed to dupe an idiot public. A weapon of mass destruction is a nuclear weapon, a biological weapon, or a chemical weapon, capable of killing or maiming hundreds or potentially thousands of individuals EACH.

That some understand the meanings of certain terms,
Instead of acting all surprised why not look up the definition of Weapon of mass destruction and what weapons fall under this category, you will most likely find most explosive devices to fall under this category of weapons.

If you're not familiar with the concept of "Just because it's written, doesn't make it right"... then *whoosh*, congratulations you have learned something new today.
Have some intellectual honesty, that's all I ask.
first will he or will he not be charged as an enemy combatant
A bomb is bomb which is a weapon of mass destruction, bombs can be created from very simple everyday things we use just as the bomb that was used, some of the components of that explosive device was a pressure cooker but the pressure cooker when used as it was with other components becomes a bomb which is a weapon mass destruction.
so the questions have been answered his rights have been read, he is to be tried in Civilian Court, he is to be treated as any suspect, and i think other charges will come, this is the feds charges , Boston DA and Police still have theirs to fill and file
The hospitalized Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction – and the White House said he will be tried in a civilian court.
“He will not be treated as an enemy combatant. We will prosecute this terrorist through our civilian system of justice,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
“Under U.S. law, United States citizens cannot be tried in military commissions. And it is important to remember that since 9/11 we have used the federal court system to convict and incarcerate hundreds of terrorists.”
