Russian authorities contacted the US government with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev not once but multiple times, including an alert it sent after he was first investigated by FBI agents in Boston, raising new questions about whether the FBI should have paid more attention to the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, US senators briefed on the investigation said Tuesday.
The FBI has previously said it interviewed Tsarnaev in early 2011 after it was initially contacted by the Russians. In their review, completed in summer 2011, the bureau found no evidence that Tsarnaev was a threat. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from Russia, the agency said last week.
Following a closed briefing of the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday, Senator Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, said he believed that Russia alerted the United States about Tsarnaev in multiple contacts, including at least once since October 2011.
The details came amid revelations that the brothers may have planned to escape to New York last week with a car full of bombs, according to a senior law enforcement official. We just killed a cop. We blew up the Marathon. And now were going to New York. Dont [expletive] with us, Tamerlan told a witness, the official said.

This seems to be getting lost among all the other news reports on the bombing. This is major. It was reported on Russian TV and other foreign outlets last Sunday and has FINALLY reached the U.S. media!

Apparently some in those far left corners, have been finally shaken up a bit. But I won’t hold my breath as to any lasting significance.
It is what it is. You take, care and have a great upcoming day.
