Alleged Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is awake and responding to questions in his hospital bed.
The 19-year-old is responding sporadically in writing to questions from investigators regarding other cell members and other unexploded bombs, law enforcement officials said.
Agents are quizzing Tsarnaev about whether he had any accomplices who helped him carry out his attacks.
The news comes as it is revealed Tsarnaev, who is badly wounded in the throat, meekly pulled up his shirt to show officers that he was not wearing a vest strapped with explosives on Friday night as he emerged from the boat he had been cowering in.
'At the end they were just making demands of him: Show your hands, lift your shirt. And eventually that's what he did,' Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau told ABC News.
'He was very slow and lethargic in every move that he made and they could see that there was no device on his chest. They kept creeping closer to him and then they felt it safe enough to pull him away from the boat.'
Authorities initially said they couldn't question the terror suspect because of his severe throat wound.
Tsarnaev is believed to have shoved his pistol in his own mouth and pulled the trigger in a failed suicide attempt as SWAT officers and federal agents closed in on his backyard hiding place. However, instead of killing him, the bullet simply tore through his neck.
CNN reported earlier today that Tsarnaev was 'intubated and sedated' at a Boston hospital.

Friggin’ excellent!
No Virgins for you, aimless boy!
But it will hurt like heck.
And I’m so glad you’re at Beth ISRAEL Hospital! Ha!
Maybe a nice Jewish nurse can give you a circumcision while you’re there too. Without anesthesia.
My big brother made me do it. Poor kid was bullied.
Hey....Howya doing dude....See this button....it controls your meds...Let’s talk....
“Howdy, Dzhokar! It’s yer old buddy Bill bin Drill come to visit ya. Yer lookin’ great, my friend - looks like the Dzhoke’s on you! Heh heh...oh, the guys behind me aren’t laughing, but they’re bundles of chuckles inside, believe me. The one on the left is Yevgeni and the one on the right’s called Vladimir - they’re Cold War friends who used to work for my old buddy Pootypoot and they’re here to cheer you up. They say they used to be KGB. I think that’s a soccer team, right? No, I don’t know what the pliers and the blowtorch are for - maybe they’re plumbers too. Well, gotta run, big guy. Have a great day.”
I was scared, that's why I ran him over....
How long have you been in the Tea Party? Who in the NRA gave you the guns?
Kid?
Is this a man who was capable of exploding a bomb next to a child and then go partying?
If so, is that a kid?
Do we speak of the men who walked directly into machine gun fire on the beaches of Normandie in 1945 as "kids"? Most of them were less than 21 years old.
