Boston bombings suspect teenager Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was being treated in a city hospital with multiple injuries including gunshots, is out of danger, a US lawmaker familiar with his health situation has said.

"He is certainly out of danger. He certainly was able to communicate. He had an operation some kind of surgical procedure in the middle of his interrogation and he's doing fairly well," Congressman Peter King told the CNN yesterday.

In addition to 19-year-old Dzhokhar, who has been charged with conspiracy to use of weapons of mass destruction, the FBI has named his elder brother Tamerlan, 29, as the main suspect. He died in a police shoot out soon after the marathon blasts.
