Boston Marathon Motives

This article attempts to look at the possible motives the suspects of the Boston Marathon Bombing had for their act of terrorism. The dead suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had went on a journey that police find suspicious. The living suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is currently being interrogated by specialized officials. Although informative, the article fails to capture the emotional aftermath of the Boston Bombing. When mentioning the recent controversy of the officials not stating Tsarnaev's Miranda Rights, the author merely skims over the topic and moves on to the next piece of information. Also the author displays a weakness in his style when he uses passive voice, like when he says, "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was taken into custody". Instead of saying "Officials took the suspect into custody" he uses passive voice which implies a uninformed tone. The rest of the article simply contains updates on the brother's investigation and different speculations that the investigators have about their ties to terrorist groups. Overall the article succeeds at being a formal update on this disastrous event, but lacks emotion and directness.
