decades. three reputed gang members just last year were charged with the murder of a 2-year-old boy as he was being held in his father's arms. it's a killing that haunts police, but chief jordan says these latest raids prove''s fulfilling his -- prove he's fulfilling his promises and neighbors last night were cheering on law enforcement. >> we don't get cheers after serving warrants too often, but i think they've been under siege for such a long time, it was good to see the support. >>reporter: san leandro police also took part in the sweep. the operation ended at 1:00 this morning. no one was injured and police say they did not have to use excessive force. in oakland, taramoriarty, ktvu news. continuing coverage of the boston bombings. officials now say the accused bombers planned to carry out more attacks in new york city. new york city's police commissioner ray kelly says dzhokhar and tamerlan tsarnaev

had pressure bombs to use in times square. >> he told the fbi apparently that he and his brother had intended to drive to new york and designate additional explosives in times square. they had built these additional explosives, and we know they have the capacity to carry out the attacks. >> investigators say that information did not initially come from the surviving suspect, but the victim of the carjacking who overheard the pair talking about heading to new york. also today we learned from law enforcement officials that dzhokhar tsarnaev immediately stopped talking to investigators after a judge and a representative from the u.s. attorney's office gave him his miranda rights in his hotel room. tsarnaev had been questioned for 16 hours before receiving the miranda warning that includes the right to remain silent. the streets near boston marathon bombings, meanwhile, have reopened, but many businesses in the area might never recoupe the losses they

suffered after the attack. the boston globe reports many commercial insurance policies have exclusions built in for terrorist attacks. that means many of the 400 businesses shut down by the attacks may have their claims for lost sales rejected. one city official said large office buildings are covered by terrorism insurance, but that many mom and pop stores will suffer losses. the father of the two boston bombing suspects says he is leaving russia for the united states this week and hopes to visit his son. the suspect's parents held a press conference today in it russia. their mother says she is certain that her sons were not involved with the bombings and she says she regrets moving her family to the united states. >> you take my kids away from me, only in america.
