| Boston attacks 'retribution for US crimes against Muslims' |
| 2013-05-17 |
| [Al Ahram] Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was found hiding in a boat days after the blasts, left a handwritten message describing the attack as retribution for US wars in Mohammedan countries, CBS News reported on Thursday. The old "blood of Moslems" thing. Never gets stale, does it?... Oh. It does? The CBS News report, citing anonymous sources, said that Tsarnaev used a pen to write the message on an interior wall of the boat, where police found him bleeding from gunshot wounds four days after the 15 April bombing. The note summed up with the idea that "when you attack one Mohammedan, you attack all Mohammedans," CBS News reported. CBS News did not make clear how its sources knew the information and Rooters was not immediately able to confirm the report. A spokeswoman for the FBI in Boston, Katherine Gulotta, declined to confirm or deny the report. The CBS News report said Tsarnaev, 19, described his older brother and fellow suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who died in a gunbattle with police, as "a martyr." "Basically, the note says ... the bombings were retribution for the US crimes against Mohammedans in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and that the victims of the Boston bombing were 'collateral damage,' the same way innocent victims have been collateral damage in US wars around the world," said CBS News news hound John Miller, who is a former front man for the FBI. The bombings at the finish line of the world-famous marathon killed three people and injured 264 others. The FBI identified the ethnic Chechen brothers as suspects from video and pictures at the scene. |

| #5 Broke or Broken? Doing stuff is much harder than writing reports and box ticking. |

| #4 You know Frank, no one will ever convince me that potential counterterrorism source(s) with this type of placement and access were not being accessed or recruited as ether witting or unwitting sources. I refuse to believe our intelligence services are that BROKE ! |

| #2 The FBI identified the ethnic Chechen brothers as suspects from video and pictures at the scene. Probably not difficult to identify potential suspects when you already have a short-list of local terrorist suspects and tips from Russian intelligence and other knowns. Jobless, but free spending, ethnic Chechen, Mooslim Military age males (MAMs), one of whom was involved in foreign travel to a renegade terrorist state and contacts with known jihadists. A radical, nutcase, shoplifting mom and new Islamic convert wife. A former CIA Chief of Station marries into the family, then divorces after 3 years. Who could have possibly assembled all the pieces ? |
