Breaking: Explosion Reported at Boston Marathon's Finish Line

Boston Bombings: FBI Agent at Center of Case is Under Investigation for Ties to Mafia Boss Accused of Heroin Dealing & Multiple Murders

In a stunning reprise of Boston's James "Whitey" Bulger/FBI revelations, the Bureau's Richard DesLauriers stands accused by state police and a congressman despite official assurances that the FBI has severed all ties to the Mafia (see second article below) of a very Bulgerian connection to Mark Rossetti, a local capo.

Eerily reminiscent of the 2006 Boston based film The Departed, starring Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio. Fiction stimulating fact rather than the other way around perhaps?

2 days ago It appears that a backpack may have been photo-shopped out by someone of the 2nd Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect running away from

Dawn, which photo is said to be photoshopped. Just for clarity please...

Answering my own question again Dawn. What an impatient tyke I am, eh.

Now you see it, now you don't...

Don't expect to see any of this kind of evidence of tampering with 'reality' being allowed to presented in the trial - if there ever even is a trial! We now live in the 'Twilght Zone' - not reality; but a manufactured one to manipulate the Sheeple who seem to eagerly graze on it all. Nowadays, there are SO MANY shoot-em-ups and bombings, hijackings, etc. end on end, people forget to follow the olde ones and only concentrate on the current one. By the time the new one happens [give it about 2-3 weeks tops], this one will fade from all minds but we nutty 'conspiracy' buffs. :mexican: :gossip:

Yep, FBI computers can't reconcile spelling 'mistakes'. Unlike google. Do they expect us to believe this crap?

FBI did not catch Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Russia trip because his name was misspelled

"He went over to Russia, but apparently when he got on the airplane, they misspelled his name, so it never went into the system that he actually went to Russia," US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News, based on conversations with an assistant director of the FBI.
Tsarneav's activities during his five-month trip to Dagestan in 2011-2012 have come under intense focus as investigators question his younger brother Dzhokhar,19, in hospital recovering from throat injuries that may be self-inflicted. Dzhokhar's friends have spoken of their shock at his arrest, describing him as a fun-loving uni student who looked up to his big brother.
"One of two things happened," Mr Graham said. "The FBI either dropped the ball or our system doesn't allow the FBI to follow this guy in an appropriate fashion. I think once the Russians made the request, the FBI did a good job of looking at him. The reason we didn't know he went to Russia is because his name was misspelled."
Boston marks one week since bombing
Russian security services monitored Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev during a five month visit he made to the North Caucasus region of Dagestan in 2011-2012, but found no reason to arrest him, a security source told AFP Monday.
The older of the two Tsarnaev brothers suspected of setting off the Boston marathon bombs, 26-year-old Tamerlan was shot and killed on Friday by US police. Tamerlan was marred to American Katherine Russell, who one friend said had been "brainwashed" by her extremist husband.

Tsarnaev travelled to Russia's southern region of Dagestan, where he had previously lived, in late 2011, staying for a total of five months and 13 days, said a security source involved in tracking extremist activity in the region.
"Security services came across Tamerlan four times'' in course of his visit, the security source said.
"They were monitoring another young man, suspected of connections with the Islamist insurgency, and Tamerlan was seen with him.''
"But then the young man disappeared from view of the security services, and Tamerlan was no longer seen either,'' the source added.
"He left Dagestan in June of last year. Nothing was seen for which he could be detained or charged.''
Since it was known that Tamerlan came from the US, Russia asked the FBI for information about him, once at the end of 2011, and once several months after he left, in November 2012, the source said.

The FBI said Friday that a request from an unidentified foreign government for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev came as he was "prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country's region to join unspecified underground groups.''
Dagestan is the most restive of the North Caucasus regions, a mountainous territory in the south with a mostly Muslim population and an ongoing Islamist, anti-Kremlin insurgency.
However the local branch of the main Caucasus Islamist group Caucasus Emirate denied on the weekend that it had any involvement in the Boston blasts, which killed three people and wounded 180.
The Tsarnaev family came to the US from the former Soviet state of Kyrgyzstan around 2002. Dzhokhar became a US citizen in 2012, while his older brother's application was reportedly held up.
Tamerlan began posting militant Islamist videos on social media sites in recent years, and traveled to Dagestan, which borders Chechnya, in 2012. Both Russian regions host separatist rebel groups.
The brothers' social media pages appeared to express sympathy with the struggle in Chechnya, which has been ravaged by two wars since 1994 between Russia and increasingly Islamist-leaning separatist rebels.
But a website used by rebels in Dagestan denied any link to the Boston bombings, saying it was "not waging any military activities against the United States.''
"We are only fighting Russia, which is not only responsible for the occupation of the Caucasus, but also for monstrous crimes against Muslims,'' the Kavkazcenter.com website said.
US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to increase cooperation against global terror in the wake of the attacks.
Dzhokhar was caught Saturday after Dave Henneberry saw blood on a boat he kept in his backyard in the Boston suburb of Watertown. When he lifted the tarp, he saw the wounded teenager curled up inside, police said.
Fifty-eight of the victims from the bomb attack are still in Boston hospitals, with three in critical condition. Nurses treating the victims have spoken of their own struggle to cope with the grisly aftermath of the attack.

We've got one of those wandering imams called 'Misha' the Armenian.

Boston marathon attack: How radical websites and mystery man 'Misha' turned Tamerlan Tsarnaev to terror

• Uncle says Muslim convert 'Misha' brainwashed Tamerlan

'I have no idea what got into them'

THE women closest to the Boston bomb suspects have told of their shock amid reports Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has admitted to planting the explosives.

RADICAL Muslim websites and a mysterious convert known only as Misha turned Tamerlan Tsarnaev into a timebomb who brainwashed his younger brother into helping kill and maim innocents.

As Dhzokhar Tsarnaev, 19, recovers in hospital and reveals more information about the deadly Boston Marathon bombing attack to the FBI, a clearer picture is emerging of why two emigre brothers turned against their adopted country to plant crude pressure cooker bombs in the crowd lining the route last week.
The blasts killed three and wounded more than 260. At least 50 are in still in hospital, some with appalling injuries.
Two days later, the brothers went on the run, killing a policeman and hijacking a car before a dramatic chase through the suburbs of Boston culminated in a gunfight with police.
Tamerlan was shot dead. Dzhokhar escaped and hid in a boat in a suburban back yard, only to be flushed out and captured last Saturday (AEST).
But why did they do it?
Family members reached in the US and abroad by The Associated Press said Tamerlan was steered toward a strict strain of Islam under the influence of an Armenian Muslim convert known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has confessed to being behind the Boston Marathon bombing, which killed three and wounded more than 200.

After befriending Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing - he had once wanted to represent the US - stopped studying music and began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to family members, who said he turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the September 11, 2001 attacks.
"Somehow, he just took his brain,'' said Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Maryland, who recalled conversations with Tamerlan's worried father about Misha's influence.
Tsarni also claimed claimed that the brothers' mother, Zubeidat, allowed Misha into their house to give one-on-one sermons to Tamerlan over the kitchen table during which he claimed he could talk to demons and perform exorcisms.
"Misha was telling him what is Islam, what is good in Islam, what is bad in Islam," added Elmirza Khozhugov, the former brother-in-law of the Tamerlan and Dzhokhar, who sat in on some of the conversations.
"This is the best religion and that's it." Khozhugov told the Associated Press.
"Misha was important. Tamerlan was searching for something. He was searching for something out there."

In this picture taken by Bob Leonard about 10-20 minutes before the Boston Marathon blast, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Suspect Two) and Tamerlan Tsarnaev (Suspect One) watch runners pass by.

"You could always hear his younger brother and sisters say, 'Tamerlan said this,' and 'Tamerlan said that.' Dzhokhar loved him. He would do whatever Tamerlan would say,'' recalled Elmirza Khozhugov, the ex-husband of Tamerlan's sister. He spoke by telephone from his home in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The brothers, who came to the US from Russia a decade ago, were raised in a home that followed Sunni Islam, the religion's largest sect, but were not regulars at the mosque and rarely discussed religion, Khozhugov said.
Then, in 2008 or 2009, Tamerlan met Misha, a heavyset bald man with a reddish beard. Khozhugov didn't know where they met but believed they attended a Boston-area mosque together.
Republican Sen. Richard Burr said after the Senate Intelligence Committee was briefed by federal law enforcement officials there is "no question'' that older brother Tamerlan was "the dominant force'' behind the attacks, and that the brothers had apparently been radicalised by material on the Internet rather than by contact with militant groups overseas.
Authorities believe neither brother, both Russian-born ethnic Chechens, had links to terror groups.
However, two US officials said Tuesday that Tamerlan frequently looked at extremist websites, including Inspire magazine, an English-language online publication produced by al-Qaeda's Yemen affiliate. The magazine has endorsed lone-wolf terror attacks.

Hoping to learn more about the motives, U.S. investigators traveled to southern Russia on Tuesday to speak to the parents of the two suspects, a U.S. Embassy official said.
The parents live in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim province in Russia's Caucasus, where Islamic militants have waged an insurgency against Russian security forces for years.
A lawyer for the family, Zaurbek Sadakhanov, said the parents had just seen pictures of the mutilated body of their elder son and were not up to speaking with anyone.
In Washington, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee were briefed by the FBI and other law enforcement officials at a closed-door session Tuesday evening.
Afterward, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio described the two brothers as ``a couple of individuals who become radicalized using Internet sources.''

"So we need to be prepared for Boston-type attacks, not just 9/11-style attacks,'' Rubio said, referring to lone-wolf terrorists as opposed to well-organized teams from established terror networks.
Investigators were also focusing on the trip that Tsarnaev made to Russia in January 2012 that has raised many questions.
His father said his son stayed with him in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, where the family lived briefly before moving to the US a decade ago. The father had only recently returned.
"He was here, with me in Makhachkala," Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
"He slept until 3pm, and you know, I would ask him: 'Have you come here to sleep?' He used to go visiting, here and there. He would go to eat somewhere. Then he would come back and go to bed."
No evidence has emerged since to link Tamerlan Tsarnaev to militant groups in Russia's Caucasus.
On Sunday, the Caucasus Emirate, which Russia and the US consider a terrorist organisation, denied involvement in the Boston attack.
The Institute for Strategic Studies says the Caucasus Emirate is a radical Islamist group with ties to al-Qaeda and other international groups.
It aims to establish an Islamic state in the North Caucasus, but has gradually evolved as it was radicalised by an influx of Islamic extremism. While continuing and intensifying the separatist movement's attacks against the Russian state, the CE has also violently sought the implementation of Sharia law, engaged in sectarian violence and, in recent years, been implicated in various European terrorist plots.
Anzor Tsarnaev said they also travelled to neighbouring Chechnya.
"He went with me twice, to see my uncles and aunts. I have lots of them," the father said.
He said they also visited one of his daughters, who lives in the Chechen town of Urus-Martan with her husband. His son-in-law's brothers all work in the police force under Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, he said.
Moscow has given Kadyrov a free hand to stabilise Chechnya following two wars between federal troops and Chechen separatists beginning in 1994, and his feared police and security forces have been accused of rampant rights abuses.
What began in Chechnya as a fight for independence has morphed into an Islamic insurgency that has spread throughout Russia's Caucasus, with the worst of the violence now in Dagestan.
In February, 2012, shortly after Tamerlan Tsarnaev's arrival in Dagestan, a four-day operation to wipe out several militant bands in Chechnya and Dagestan left 17 police and at least 20 militants dead.
In May, two car bombs shook Makhachkala, killing at least 13 people and wounding about 130 more. Other bombings and shootings targeting police and other officials took place nearly daily.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's mother said he was questioned upon arrival at New York's airport.
"And he told me on the phone, 'imagine, mama, they were asking me such interesting questions as if I were some strange and scary man: Where did you go? What did you do there?'" Zubeidat Tsarnaeva recalled her son telling her at the time.

Dawn, which photo is said to be photoshopped. Just for clarity please...

The article stated that the boys both had white backpacks. (FWIW)

But, so many are lying it's truly hard to know.

[Peter Lemkin]

I was thinking.....911 had 'Harley Man' - a 'Crisis Actor'. Many other shootings and bombings had camera ready 'Crisis Actors' on hand and all prepped to spread the official propaganda. So I looked up 'Crisis Actors' and Boston Marathon Bombing...there's quite a lot. Here is one. Enjoy. I believe there were MANY more than this video talks about!

So, for you out there with no job and no morals, it is a growth industry and you get travel benefits and meet interesting people.....

[Jan Klimkowski]

Yep, FBI computers can't reconcile spelling 'mistakes'. Unlike google. Do they expect us to believe this crap?

It's even worse that that.

The dominant Chechen alphabet is Cyrillic

The Latin alphabet was introduced in 1925. It was unified with Ingush in 1934, but abolished in 1938.

In 19381992, only the Cyrillic alphabet was used for Chechen.

In 1992, a new Latin Chechen alphabet was introduced, but after the defeat of the secessionist government, the Cyrillic alphabet was restored.

So, one of Russia's geatest writers is Фёдор Миха́йлович Достое́вский;

This can be translated from the Cyrillic as Dostoevsky, Dostoyevsky, Dostoevski etc.

It is completely preposterous to claim that an intelligence agency translation system from the Cyrllic into English would not automatically accommodate different translations and renderings.

(So, we've seen this movie before... - AE)

What about the London bombing of 7/7?

Were there any loose ends, unexplained

There sure were.

If you're following the Boston story, be prepared
for some serious deja vu.
