Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the accused Boston Marathon bomber, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on 30 counts, 17 of which call for the death penalty. 

Four people died as a result of Tsarnaev’s alleged actions: three who were killed by the bombs at the marathon finish line and an MIT police officer who was shot and killed three days after the marathon. Scores of other people were maimed or wounded by Tsarnaev, said U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz.

Tsarnaev is also charged with using a weapon of mass destruction, carjacking, participating in a shootout with police, and severely wounding a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer.

Within the indictment was a confession Tsarnaev allegedly made while he hid in a boat four days after the bombings. According to the court documents, he stated, “I don’t like killing innocent people… [but] US Government is killing our innocent civilians. I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished. We Muslims are one body, you hurt one, you hurt us all. Stop killing our innocent people, we will stop.”

The indictment, which is 56 pages long, states that the Tsarnaev brothers were preparing for the attack more than two months before the marathon by buying weapons and explosives while frequenting shooting ranges.

The indictment also claims Tsarnaev was visiting extremist jihad sites such as Defense of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation After Imam and downloading information from them. Defense of the Muslim Lands was created by Abdullah Azzam, AKA “The Father of Global Jihad.” The indictment writes, “This publication advocates violence designed to terrorize the perceived enemies of Islam.”
