Owners of 'Terrorista #1' BMW taken into custody over Boston bombings

2013-04-22

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] The two men who own a BMW with the license plate 'Terrorista #1' and who are said to be friends with the younger Boston bombing suspect were taken into custody again on Saturday.

This time the two foreign nationals were placed in durance vile
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
over alleged immigration violations in the Massachusetts town, New Bedford, where police say the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, may have once lived.

The students, named by neighbours by their first names Azmat and Diaz, drive a black BMW 330XI with the personalised plate and a sticker on the back which reads: 'F*** you, you f****** f****'.

They are thought to be from Kazakhstan and had not been seen since the bombings until Friday night when their ground floor apartment in New Bedford, MA, was raided by a dozen FBI agents at gunpoint.

One of their girlfriends was also arrested on Friday. All three are in their late teens or early 20s.

The three were subsequently released on Friday night before Saturday's arrest of the two men.

Their apartment was raided because police say the younger Boston Marathon bombing suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, may have lived at their address.

MailOnline has discovered another link - Dzhokhar Tweeted pictures of the car on his Twitter account J_tsar.

In one picture the BMW is next to another dark coloured sports car with the caption: 'Place your bets' as if they are about to race.

In another a group of boys stand by both vehicles and a youth can be seen making a gesture that looks like a gun towards the camera.

The three arrests took place at the Hidden Brook housing complex in New Bedford.

A neighbour claimed that the men had said the BMW was stolen or that they claimed they had rented it and were not paying the rental fee.

#16 Besides saying Terrorista #1, that plate says "UMass Dartmouth". I suppose it's something that can be bought at the student union bookstore. How very edgy.

#15 Either that or money you paid to the Soddies for their oil.

Where did he get the money?

Your pocket. It was likely welfare.

No-one bothered to look at Zero's finances during university so what hope is there here?

#12 #11 Bersoeker, "fog of bullshi*"

#11 #10 One thing I don't understand is the brothers' finances. Al

It is not that you "do not understand it" Al. It is rather that you clearly see the fog of bullshi*. Your "understanding" is quite clear indeed.

#10 One thing I don't understand is the brothers' finances. In that photo joural piece done in 2005, tamerlan is described as having a Mercedes SUV. H?e always wore expensive clothes & $900 shoes. Where did he get the money?

The dad was a freelance auto mechanic. The boys were going to school. nobody had access to that kind of money.

#8 "Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people." What people is he referring to?
Perhaps this statement had no literal meaning, but was a pre-arranged code to his co-conspirators. Like Radio Londres broadcasting "Blessent mon cur d'une langeur monotone" on D-Day. Set up ahead of time & used as a signal known only to the initiated.

#7 Kicking it up a notch; the late brother Tsarnaev would have been an Absolut [pun intended] prime-time recruitment for US Intelligence. Imagine, a non-US citizen, smart, young, penniless, Islamic motivated, web savvy, well connected within the local Boston Chechen community. He had family in Russian and liked to travel. Possessing capability to provide useful reporting for pass-back to Russian intelligence.

Recruited source? If not, why not ?

#6 We now know that the explosives used were probably non-military. We know that pressure cookers were used, which are a signature Taliban IED tactic. We have seen a small circuit board and a battery which were recovered from the blast site.

We do NOT know what specific type of detonator (blasting cap) was used. Was it a commercial grade, military, or homemade. Along with a lot of other information, the type of detonator(s) used should now be available from the FBI lags in Quantico, VA.

#4 "Brothers Tsarnaev weren't alone, + may had been part of a group per the Boston Marathon booms."

I'd seem worth investigating since:
1. Unlikely the pair was operating without a support network.
2. Brothers had a background in accounting and nursing--not engineering, chemistry, etc. It would seem they received bomb-making training, explosives, and detonators somewhere.
3. Russians warned us about the older brother (although the Russian warnings ought to be taken with salt).
4. Older brother was out of the country for 6 months.
5. When, where, and by whom did radicalization occur?

#3 A neighbour claimed that the men had said the BMW was stolen or that they claimed they had rented it and were not paying the rental fee.

Very common in Atlanta, along with running up the mileage then abandonment, whilst reporting stolen.

#2 As per FOX + CNN, looks like Fed-Local AUthorties are operating on the presumption that the Brothers Tsarnaev weren't alone, + may had been part of a group per the Boston Marathon booms.

Russia warned US of Chechen immigrants

The Hussein US Regime supports violence of this kind. Hasan, Benghazi, Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda opposition forces in Syria. Farrakhan said: 'That's a Murderer in the White House'...
