ADDS ATTRIBUTION TO THE MASSACHUSETTS REGISTRY OF VEHICLES AND ADDS INFORMATION FROM KADYRBAYEV'S ATTORNEYS ABOUT THE LICENCE PLATE: This Saturday, April 20, 2013, photo, shows the front tag on a 2006 BMW that a spokesperson from the Massachusetts Registry of Vehicles says is registered to Dias Kadyrbayev, outside his apartment in New Bedford, Mass. Linda Cristello, a Boston attorney who represented Kadyrbayev in immigration court Wednesday May 1, 2013, confirmed her client now faces separate federal charges and has an afternoon court appearance related to the bombing case. According to Kadyrbayev's other lawyer, Robert Stahl the plate was just a joke gift from some of Kadyrbayev's friends, meant to invoke his penchant for late-night partying rather than his political sentiments.

FILE - In this Wednesday, March 13, 2013 file photo, a worker hauls away bodies of dead pigs with a net in Zhonglian village of Jinshan district in Shanghai. In the nearly two weeks since thousands of pig carcasses started littering a river running through Shanghai, its residents have been told not to worry. What they haven't been given are convincing explanations behind the deaths and the dumping. The lack of clarity about the nearly 14,000 dead animals in a river system that supplies drinking water to the Chinese financial center has spawned both theories and dark humor: Residents joke that they can turn on their faucets and get pork broth.
