HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Massachusetts State Police are calling off a search for a green Honda Civic that has been linked to the suspects in the marathon bombings.
Authorities initially said the at-large suspect in the bombings may have been driving the 1999 Civic, but police said later Friday that the car is in their possession and they are no longer looking for it.
Authorities in Connecticut urged people earlier Friday to be on the lookout for a gray Honda CRV, but police later said that vehicle had been recovered in Boston.
Nineteen-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (JOH’-kahr tsahr-NY’-ev) is the target of a massive manhunt. His brother Tamerlan was also identified as a suspect in Monday’s twin bombings and was killed in a night of violent clashes with police.
