Prosecutors say the two brothers suspected of detonating bombs at the Boston Marathon went on the run afterwards armed with explosives and knives.
The new details came after surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was indicted on charges of killing four people.
A grand jury returned a 30-count indictment against the surviving suspect in the April bombings, which included using weapons of mass destruction to kill and car-jacking.
Tsarnaev, 19, faces the death penalty or life imprisonment on 17 of the counts.
Three people were killed and more than 260 were wounded in the bombings at the finish line of the marathon.
Authorities said each brother placed a backpack containing a shrapnel-packed pressure cooker bomb near the marathon finish line.
District attorney Carmen Ortiz said Dzhokhar and older brother Tamerlan chatted on the phone between detonating their home-made bombs.
She added that days later, when their images were being circulated by the media, they armed themselves with five improvised explosive devices (IED's), an automatic handgun, a machete, and a hunting knife.
They then went to MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she said, where a police officer was shot in the head at close range.
Afterwards, they allegedly hijacked a Mercedes by pointing a gun at the driver and threatening to kill him.
They told the driver they wanted to go to Manhattan, but in Watertown the motorist managed to raise the alarm.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in the ensuing shootout with police, in which some of the IED's were allegedly used.
Dzhokhar was later captured hiding in a boat. According to the indictment, he wrote messages on the inside of the boat that said, among other things, "The US Government is killing our innocent civilians" and "We Muslims are one body you hurt one you hurt us all".
The Tsarnaev brothers had roots in the turbulent Russian regions of Dagestan and Chechnya, which have become recruiting grounds for Islamic extremists. They had been living in the United States for about a decade.
