FBI hunting 12-strong terrorist "sleeper cell" linked to brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar
Daily Mirror (UK) ^ | 21 April 2013 | Staff

Posted on 04/20/2013 5:27:35 PM PDT by rjbemsha

The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.

Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack.

More than 1,000 FBI agents were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.

A source close to the investigation said: “We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.

“They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come.”

But more than a few conservatives have partaken in the weed. True, and they are all politicians or attorneys.

The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. A great movie! Haven’t watched it in years. Thanks for the reminder. Time for a rewatch.

The younger brother ran over the older brother who was alive and being taken into custody to silence him so he could not give up the other members of the terrorist cell.

Could be. Notice the cops haven't reported the brothers said anything. Wonder if big T ordered little T to send him to his virgins.

They acted like they wanted to be found. Burglarizing a 7-11 when everybody knows to be looking for you? Car-jacking and then letting the person go so they could call the cops?

I’m not sure why they would want to be found, but their actions make it seem like they did.

Somebody claiming to know the plan in advance had posted on Monday that the perps would be caught on Friday, it would be a young guy they’d try to garner sympathy for, and they’d find NRA materials with his stuff. Obama saying that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about motives left room for them to still claim to have found NRA stuff, although I think the connections to Muslim terrorism may be too solid already for them to go through with that plan, if that was their plan.

But it does seem like they wanted to be found.

To kill the desease the country needs to get rid of them. ALL of them.

We all saw maps of cells years ago so obviously the feds knew all about them decades ago. Nothing was done then and nothing will be done now. We've been taken over and haven't woken up to that yet.

Other than the 2 that were cuffed in New Bedford, where are the others?

At a consulate somewhere with plane tickets in their hands.

A hard copy letter will take forever to get there, after the ricin thing. If it’s your own Senators, fax is probably the most effective right now.

Which is the how and why they were able to afford their expensive cars and such in my opinion. I think they were financially compensated for their terrorist activities.

Maybe most but certainly not all.

I knew a retired Army Colonel who used marijuana to ease his migrain headaches.

I think we’d be surprise who has, and does, smoke some weed now and then.

So the billions of dollars we give these officials to protect us now consists of asking the suspect and his family if they are terrorists and if they say no..case closed?

Well, they need the money to find the Tea Party people responsible for the video that caused all this, also they need a lot of ammunition and APCs and stuff.

Bill Ayres, Bernadette Doren, et al? or are we talking about a different cell?

FBI hunting?

haha

I guess they’ll find ‘em after something else has blown up. Are these “boys”? Forget going after them at all. We need to seek to understand them. And negotiate with them to not do bad things to us.
