Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving Boston marathon bombing suspect, was transferred to jail in Massachusetts on Friday.

Tsarnaev, 19, was released from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center during the early morning hours to avoid any security issues and was taken to the Federal Medical Center Devens.

He is recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries.

The Federal facility treats federal prisoners and detainees with long-term medical conditions or mental health care.

Dzhokhar and Tamerlan planned a second bomb attack on New York's Time Square, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed Thursday.

The suspects hijacked a car and its driver in Boston on April 18 with the intent of driving to New York with bombs, and detonating them in Times Square. Their plan ultimately failed when they were involved in a shootout with police soon after, which left Tamerlan, 26, dead and Dzhokhar, 19, severely wounded. The younger brother was found the next day and is currently being held at a Boston medical center.

"Last night we were informed by the FBI that the surviving attacker revealed that New York City was next on their list of targets," Bloomberg said at New York City Hall. "He and his older brother intended to drive to New York and detonate those explosives in Times Square."

Attorney for the Tsarnaev's, Miriam Conrad, declined to comment on Thursday on whether Dzhokhar was still talking with investigators. He was charged Monday from his hospital bed for using a weapon of mass destruction with the intent to kill.
The charges could carry the death penalty and Dzhokhar was assigned three federal public defenders. A probable cause hearing was set for May 30 in U.S. District Court.
