And where’s Al-Harbi? His VISA required him to be in Ohio, yet he was in Boston.. Hmmmm..
Because of the large student population..Boston and the surrounding cities are full of immigrants who have overstayed their visa’s. People from countries where getting a tourist visa or student visa has not been to hard. They come and stay and live in the parallel economy.
Our son was there for over 10 years getting his degrees and we spent time with him there and know his friends from the period. We didn’t like Boston. Even in the last 10 years it has changed markedly with even more immigrants. The housing conditions are terrible..the students and immigrants will live anywhere and cities turn a blind eye to code violations and tenants rights.
We are glad that he moved on to a good job and good housing elsewhere.
Where were they building these things — in his dorm room???
And where were they getting the money for their enterprise???
Yo, Ed, you’re three days late on this “news” story.
They may or may not have been sympathetic to the Borat brothers, but their expired visa status probably kept them from coming forward right away.
Lemme guess, we'll find his name on the We Support Dzhokhar petition?
If my understanding of the many storied reported in the British press is accurate:
1. The father had fled from Russia to Kzahkstan because he was being persecuted for “something he did” in Russia. (The wife apparent told that to an America whose hair she dressed but she did not specify what her husband had done in Russia. Could he have participated in Chechen terrorist activities?
2. The mother and father claim to have been attorneys in Russia. Yet the father—who apparently speaks acceptable Engllish—had one of his teenage daughters write and submit the request for political asylum. (Why didn’t he write the request? Do we know who signed and submitted the request? Was the request submitted to the US Embassy in Kazakhstan? Who approved the request for asylum?)
3. The father—apparently the one who was granted asylum and who brought his wife and children to the United States about ten years ago—divorced his wife and went back to Russia where he has lived for several years with no apparent persecution by the Russian government. (Should his returning to Russia have resulted in the end of the green card status for him and his family members? After all, there was no longer a need for “political asylum”.)
4. Tamerlan went to Russia even though he was on the “no fly” list. The FBI claims someone misspelled his name. Big Sis Napolitano claimes DHS knew Tamerlan went to Russia at the time. (Tamerlan apparently had a Kazakh passport. Did he use that passport or did he us another (perhaps fraudulent) passort?)
5. What did Tamerlan do while in Russia? (Both Chechnia and Dagastan are overrun by Chechen (and other ethnic) Muslim terrorists.)
6. Dzohkar enrolled at UMass Dartmouth to study marine biology. He enrolled in five courses and failed all five courses. (Did he fail those courses because he did not both to attend those courses? In short, what was he doing from September through December 2012 other than becoming a U.S. citizen on September 11, 2012?)
7. The two Tsarnaev brothers set bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and near that finish line. One of the bombs was placed in front of the Lord & Taylor department store. Their mother was fired from her job at the Lord & Taylor store in Natick for stealing clothing. (Is that a coincidence or is the entire family involved in the evil actions of the brothers? More on that later.)
8. Tamerlan created a photo essay on himself in which he pulls up to a gym in a Mercedes SUV and then chats on his cell phone. (Where did a guy who appears never to have held a steady job get the money for a Mercedes SUV? Did he get the money from other terrorists? Did his wife’s family in Rhode Island supply the money for that vehicle?)
9. Katherine Russell, the widow of Tamerlan, lived with the two brothers in Cambridge. (That begs several questions. Why was Dzokhar living there if he was attending college at UMass Dartmouth. It’s a long drive from Cambridge to New Bedford. Did she wonder why the two brothers had all those pressure cookers and all that gun powder and all that ammunition in the apartment? Did she see them assembling any of those bombs? If not, how did all of those bombs and ammunition happen to be in the 410 Norfolk Street apartment where she and they lived without her seeing them? Was the Mercedes SUV registered to her?)
10. Who purchased the firearms? Tamerlan being a foreign national could not legally purchase a firearm. (Was Dzokhar’s purpose in becoming a US citizen to be able to purchase firearms? Where did he purchase them? It is exceedingly difficult for a US citizen to purchase and to possess a firearm in Massachusetts. It’s pretty easy to purchase firearms in New Hampshire which is just up US Route 3 from Cambridge.)
11. Did Katherine Russell’s parents provide financial support to Katherine and Tamerlan. (Katherine apparently worked as a home health care aid. Tamerlan apparently did not work. Where did the brothers Tsarnaev get their funding? What did Katherine Russell’s parents really know about Tamerlan and Dzokhar?)
12. Did either of the brothers Tsarnaev visit Islamburg, New York where Mohammedans provide weapons training to other Mohammedans.
13. Tamerlan exhausted his ammunition and had been taken down by the police and was being handcuffed. Dzokhar drove the stolen SUV directly at the police who jumped out of the way. Tamerlan diliberately ran over his brother and dragged him for several hundred yards. (Was this a way of silencing Tamerlan to prevent him from being interrogated as to his associates?)
14. Dzokhar “attempted to commit suicide” by shooting himself in the throat. The short was from the side. (Was he attempting to silence himself?)
There are simply too many loose ends here.
Did I miss the name of the country who sent a consular vehicle to pick up the two women? I looked several times, but all I saw was “then undisclosed”. So I assume it must be disclosed now? Anyone know?
