Boston Bomber's lawyer admits his involvement in attack

On the opening day of the Boston Marathon Bombing trial, the
defendant's lawyer has admitted he was involved in the attacks.

However, Judy Clarke, the lawyer for accuser bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,
said he had been influenced by his late older brother.

Three people were killed and 260 others were injured in April 2013
when two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston
Marathon.

Our correspondent in Boston Nick Harper says the shock admission came
