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.”

[Daily Mirror UK]: "The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers."/

[Sacajaweau]"Damn....I said there were only 9 in the cell"

They *tried* to limit it to only 9 in the cell, but thanks to Senate Republicans who march to the beat of the mighty NRA the sleeper cell restriction bill failed to pass a law prohibiting these 'high capacity terrorist cells' in the Senate this week.

Call your Democratic representatives and tell them: 'No foreign Jihadis need more than nine terrorists in their sleeper cell'.

a Justice Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told CNN the teen will face federal terrorism charges and possibly state murder charges.

Federal prison and Gitmo is too cushy. It'd be better to send him to state prison and room him with Big Bubba.

Check the Saudi student’s hands. Do you see any burns? Do you see any injury at all?

1 to 2 k for the explosives weapons and ammo they used!
I do not know but 2 k seems a little light!
And another thing I guess the passed all the background checks to obtain the weapons they utilized during the subsequent chase and shoot out? Those cats were not using registered owner firearms and where did they come from?
I’m sure those weapons are in the hands of the FBI now!
I just wonder if those questions and many more will be answered?

Way to go FBI guys! Don’t quit! Get them all.

Seems the FBI had to take over because Janet and Homeland Insecurity were busy looking for some middle-aged, middle-class white conservative to pin this on... ( and you're right - the FBI's doing a great job...)

Dude the FBI has a reputation to uphold unlike the DHS or TSA or OIS!
The FBI is not Gonna let Big Sis Q put blinders on this!
Plus Mass is pissed and this will have no cover!
This is not Benghazi where no one was there! Or where 20 people can be held in limbo! The Nation is breathing down their neck, or at least true Americans!

Check out Kerry’s record of killing innocent So. Vietnamese during one of his Swiftboat operations. Machine-gunned a fishing boat and killed a small child and his father - Chapter 4 - War Crimes, pp. 53-55, “Unfit For Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry”, 2004.

Kerry reportedly covered up reporting the death of the child in his After Action Report.

Kerry with a gun is a threat to anyone.

I understand. I think too many folks in Texas think the conservative majority will never end and are getting too comfortable. This state is at risk big time. Not only to South American illegals ‘voting’ for the same socialism that ruined their own countries, but liberal leeches fleeing their ruined state economies to our state. I always thought Colorado was a stronghold of our republic and constitution...so if it can go Marxist nuts....so can Texas.

We have to work to wake folks up!

Somebody going to Congress members and giving them the real scoop on the Saudi guy before Obama’s lawless regime could scrub everything gives me hope.

For some reason Hanoi Jane popped into mind when I read that sentence.

Another article critical to the security of every aware American, that has to reach us via the foreign press.

What does that say for the sorry useless state of the U.S. mainstream media?

That guy was connected to Anwar al Aulaqi’s AQAP cell in Yemen, as was the undybomber who blew up in the Saudi intel chief’s office.

Everyone is asking how did they live? The men were on scholarships paid by the State, the older one was married and had a child, mother ran a beauty parlor operation in her home, and shoplifted.

Let's not forget those in public office actively supporting the jihadists by opposing measures such as American Laws for American Courts.

“If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch.

and:

Carroll’s statement was similar to a statement allegedly made by CAIR co-founder and former chairman Omar M. Ahmad. He was paraphrased by a reporter saying, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant” and the Quran “should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

Politicians who have been sending out those pablum filled 'we are strengthened' BS messages today will be yielding to groups such as CAIR next week. Everyone will move on except the jihadists. They're here for however long it takes. Like Pelosi's progressives gnawing on the Constitution.
