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.”

It’s always nice to have more info about the religion of peace and the president’s success at preventing the Amish from killing Americans.

Sounds like a job for Wild Bill Kelso.

Just as soon as he’s finished hunting the Japanese squadron operating out of the secret airstrips in the Pomona Alfalfa fields ...

Yes, if there is a cell of sleepers, the brothers would seem to have been just low-level mules who emplaced the bombs.

I know I reference ‘The Jester’ a lot lately, but he is a hacker who fights Jihadis online and is a treasure trove of info (especially his tweets).

He found on the one in custody’s twitter feed some of the contacts who have deleted their accounts since yesterday and is hot on their trail. It is interesting stuff to read.

Lot of FReepers wondered about the all-out attack on Boston just to find the surviving brother.

"Once again we have to go to Great Britain to find out what is happening in America.

You are so right. I have to go to the "foreign news" section of the London Telegraph to find out what is really happening in my own country. I commented yesterday on FR that the only place I read about dirtbag the younger running over dirtbag the older was in the Telegraph. I see today it is being reported on Drudge. I was at RAF Lakenheath in early nineties and started reading about klinton's sordid past in Arkansas from the Telegraph. When I came home a year later it was still not being reported in the US.

I remember it. One of them even had a green Guy Fawkes mask to match the jihadi flag.

I'm not so sure about that. Look how stupid these two were. The younger kid went back to college and was just hanging out. Looks like what freaked them out was when their pictures started being plastered all over the news and Internet. You would think that as soon as they planted the bombs they would have had a flight booked a week previous and have been on it flying out of the country before the dust had a chance to settle. Hard to believe that they wouldn't have been aware of cameras in the area that would probably have recorded the event. Not to mention people's personal cameras and cell phones. If they were that stupid, how smart are the people that trained them?

They were idiots. Who stays in town after something like this? They could have been a thousand miles away in a couple of hours.

I agree and have wondered about these same things myself.

Regarding stupidity... remember the underwear bomber?

Of course...did so myself in my youth once or twice..but I didn’t go around pushing to disarm the populace or demand the legalization of my own stupidity. My snark was in reference to the pot fest in Denver this weekend. I should have said so.

> and deep underground. They probably went their separate ways weeks or months ago. The two brothers were merely the trained, financed and equipped designated hitters for the cell- cutouts and martyrs.

The fall guys, you know like Oswald...
