Jihadi told Russians about Tamerlan
The Boston Herald ^ | May4,2013 | Matt Stout, John Zaremba

Posted on 05/04/2013 5:23:44 AM PDT by penelopesire

A slain Canadian jihadi gave Russian counter-terrorism agents the tip that put alleged Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev on their radar two years ago, Bay State U.S. Rep. William R. Keating confirmed yesterday — raising questions about whether Tsarnaev’s direct link to the known militant was ever passed on to the FBI or local authorities.

Keating told the Herald yesterday his staff in Russia has learned William Plotnikov, while under interrogation in the militant hotbed of Dagestan, named Tsarnaev as a fellow extremist.

“That’s when the Russian government started looking at Tamerlan and he showed up on a jihadist website,” Keating (D-Bourne) said. “That’s when they contacted the U.S.”

“The detail of the information from the Russians to the FBI — and whether the feds passed it on sufficiently to local authorities — is sure to come up next week on Capitol Hill, where the House Homeland Security Committee will hold a hearing on the bombings.

“I have no idea what the Russians did or did not share, but the fact they brought up his name should have been a flashing red light,” U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a member of the committee, told the Herald last night. “You combine that with international travel, and somebody’s going to have to answer some questions.

“The information is only good if it gets to those who can actually act on it,” he said. “I want to know specifically if they shared that information with the authorities in Boston.”

The Obama thugs do not want to stop terrorists from other countries from attacking us. They will allow them to happen because they can use it to advance their fascist agenda.

Plus, NAZI Germany and the Muslims worked together during WWII.

Do you really believe that?

Fast & Furious was going to get hot.
Unconstitutional recess appointments were going to get hot(the people appointed are still there by the way)
Benghazi was going to get hot.

This isn’t going any farther than the other things.

I hate to say that but good old KGB seems to have these roaches under control. Canadian jihadi was interrogated by KGB and given them a lot of info back then. As son as they turned more radical both Canadian and Tsarnaev along with Palestinian Mahmoud Nidal seems to have been abducted by KGB in July 2012 and strongly advised to go back home: “We don’t need you stinking amateur American jihadis. Go back home, have burger and let your stinking FBI deal with you, suckers”. These guys probably thought: “Screw it, we are tough jihadis”. Nidal was first to die, Canadian next. Tsarnaev finally got his message and flew back to Boston in just three days after Canadian’s death.

“Since there was no confirmation, the hearsay from the Russian’s was not actionable. The confirmation was underway but of low priority compared to cases more likely to be verifiable. “ FBI testimony from the coming hearings

KGB is not concerned with PC insanity like our intelligence bureaus have become under Obama. Obama is the ‘weak horse’ .

The answer to that excuse should be to ask if it is now US policy to ask a potential terrorist if they are a terrorist and if they say no, we close the case?! Lots of come backs to that lame excuse. I agree though that they will likely use that excuse.

I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere, but the man’s name “Tamerlan” is obviously based on the brutal conqueror Tamerlane, aka Timur. Not a nice person.

“Timur envisioned the restoration of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan. As a means of legitimating his conquests, Timur relied on Islamic symbols and language, referring to himself as the Sword of Islam and patronizing Islamic educational and religious institutions. Most of his conquests were against other Muslims.

“Scholars estimate that his military campaigns caused the deaths of 17 million people, amounting to about 5% of the world population. In 1400 Timur invaded Christian Armenia and Georgia. Of the surviving population, more than 60,000 of the local people were captured as slaves, and many districts were depopulated.

“He invaded Baghdad in June 1401. After the capture of the city, 20,000 of its citizens were massacred. Timur ordered that every soldier should return with at least two severed human heads to show him. (Many warriors were so scared they killed prisoners captured earlier in the campaign just to ensure they had heads to present to Timur.)

“Muslim writers complaining that the Timurid army acted more like a horde of savages than that of a civilized conqueror. Timur was furious at the Genoese and Venetians whose ships ferried the Muslim Ottoman army to safety in Thrace.

“Northern Iraq remained predominantly Assyrian Christian until attacked, looted, plundered and destroyed by Timur, leaving its population decimated by systematic mass slaughter.

“He died in 1404, enroute to conquer China, in the coldest recorded winter until then.”

FBI had no comment.

But ask them about General Petraeus and their hired prostitute and they will have a comment.

A flashing red light indeed. I hope Chaffetz really bores in on this development.

Defeatist???? Hardly. Just using past experience and the fact that the media is our enemy to face facts.

This POS has the greatest melanin cover that ever existed.

A totally inept racist moron bent on destroying a country and getting the help of Media and the entire Democrat party and the RINO Republicans to do it.

In Mexico the bastard had the temerity to say the United States was at fault for illegal guns in Mexico, after he and Holder ran them in there. There is no end to the Hubris of this Muslim Kenyan Manchurian candidate.

You can call it defeatist if you like, but please when you do, give me an example of when he has been halted.
