However, given the “unique opportunity for a treasure trove of intelligence,” King offered a slightly different approach to how authorities should handle Tsarnaev moving forward: he should be treated as an enemy combatant for interrogation purposes, but tried in a civilian court. “There are so many questions unanswered, so many potential links to terrorism here,” King said. “Also, the battlefield is now in the United States, so I believe he is an enemy combatant.”
