ONE of three college students arrested on Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombings case was allowed to return to the United States from Kazakhstan in January despite not having a valid student visa, a law enforcement official said.
Authorities charged Azamat Tazhayakov - a classmate of one of the men accused of setting off the deadly explosions on April 15 - with helping to remove a laptop and backpack from the suspect's dormitory room after the attacks.
The government said the US Customs and Border Protection was unaware that the student was no longer in school when he was let back into the US. It was another instance of possible lapses by the federal government in the months before the bombings.
