Boston marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told a friend a month before the attack that he knew how to make a bomb, a US prosecutor told jurors at the friend's obstruction trial.
He also said it's good to be a martyr because you "die with a smile on your face and go straight to heaven", Assistant US Attorney Stephanie Siegmann said.
