Even then there was confusion whether it was a Civil Guard and the doubt still lingers still, ffueling the Conspiracy Theory.
The FBI had these suspects under their radar and Russia sought FBI’s help in 2011.
The following is a part of a statement made by the FBI.
Once the FBI learned the identities of the two brothers today, the FBI reviewed its records and determined that in early 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The request stated that it was based on information that he was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.
In response to this 2011 request, the FBI checked U.S. government databases and other information to look for such things as derogatory telephone communications, possible use of online sites associated with the promotion of radical activity, associations with other persons of interest, travel history and plans, and education history. The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.'(heavy.com)
“Amid disclosures that Russia tipped the FBI in 2011 that one of the Boston Marathon bombers had become a Muslim radical, Republican leaders of the House Homeland Security Committee plan to hold hearings to examine what the bureau and U.S. intelligence agencies might have done to thwart last week’s attack.”(Boston Herald).
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, aka the Boston Bomber, aka Suspect Number 2, aka “White Hat,” is in custody
According to one of the officials, an airline misspelled Tsarnaev’s name when it submitted the list of passengers on Tsarnaev’s flight to Russia in January 2012. Airlines are required to provide the U.S. government with a list of passengers on international flights so the U.S. can check their names through government databases, including the terrorist watch list.
Now the US is reaching out to Russia for clues!
It is difficult to find out and trace a Sleeper cell when it comes alive suddenly, one must admit.
It is because of a slender lead which can be described as Providential the Boston Bombers could have escaped undetected.
The fact that they have used very crude Devices and not sophisticated ones, they could have easily caused a Mayhem.
This and the fact they are grassroots level operatives of the AlQaeda was why they did not succeed as they wished to be.
But I have a nagging doubt whether this attack was a ‘Red Herring’ for something else.
I am curious as to why there is no is no coverage of Texas Fertilizer Plant which was very severe and the reasons for the blast are not very clear.
