Boston Bomb Suspect Dzhokhar Awake, Responding via Writing

From USA Today:
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, is awake in a Boston hospital and responding in writing to questions, a law enforcement official said Sunday.

Investigators who have been waiting to interrogate Tsarnaev are looking into the possibility that his neck wound was self inflicted, a federal law enforcement official said."
Three people were killed and more than 170 were injured when two bombs exploded April 15 near the Boston Marathon finish line.

Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis believes that Dzhokhar and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 (now dead), "were going to attack other individuals."

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is under heavy guard, and in serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. A commenter notes that 'Beth Israel' means 'House of Israel.'
