Tamerlan, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev July 4 attack? Feds say Boston suspects planned suicide-bomb attack
WPTV-TV / CNN ^ | May 3, 2013 | Steve Almasy, CNN

The bombs used in the Boston Marathon attack were built in the apartment that suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev shared with his wife and child, a U.S. law enforcement official with first-hand knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Thursday. The official was not authorized to release the information.

Katherine Russell, Tsarnaev's widow, has remained largely out of view inside her parents' North Kingstown home since her husband's death.

It remains unclear what, if anything, Tamerlan's widow might have known or suspected, the source added.

According to her attorney, Amato DeLuca, the 24-year-old widow knew nothing of plans to bomb the race, and reports of her husband's involvement came as an "absolute shock" to Russell and her family.

Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, initially planned to carry out a suicide-bomb attack on July 4, a U.S. law enforcement official regularly briefed on the Boston bombing investigation told CNN. The source said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators their bombs were ready earlier than they expected and they decided to move up the date.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators that the Boston Marathon was chosen as a target only a day or two before the event, the source said.

It is unclear which specific event would have been targeted but one of the biggest July Fourth celebrations in the country is held in Boston. The annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular hosts 500,000 spectators, according to the event's website. It is televised live nationally on CBS.

The revelation comes the same day the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev was claimed by his family and later was picked up by a funeral home, according to Terrel Harris, spokesman for the Massachusetts office of the chief medical examiner.....

What makes you think there were “financiers,” Saudi or otherwise? The devices they used were relatively simple and used relatively inexpensive components.

Exactly. This whole story has more holes than a piece of swiss cheese.

I believe something happened to cause the real drivers in this operation to become rushed for time and plan “B” went into effect.

Plan "A" was to place the blame on a White male Christian Tea Party type. Remember when they said they had made an arrest and the press had staked out the court house then suddenly there was a phony bomb scare, the court house was evacuated and that story fell down the memory hole? I think the local cops arrested the real perps but the Feds swooped and put an end to that real quick.

So wait a second, if their original plan was a 4th of July event which included suicide, how did the suicide part change when they changed the date?

I’m so tired of these idiots yanking my chain with this ever changing story.

I noticed that too. Its like there was a Plan B on file but it never was really worked out. Consequently the blow back(no pun intended)upset everything and damage control kicked in causing some players to wing it.

It was supposed to be 4th of July but they changes it to the Boston marathon just 2 days before.

Shazzam! The bombing in Boston was spontaneous.

Then after Boston they planned to attack NYC in another spontaneous attack.

See, this terrorist attack has proved Hillary right, terrorist really do act in a spontaneous manner and don't plan their attacks in advance.

Repeat after me “It's just a coincidence”.

I remember reading that the wife was working up to 80 hours a week.

If it is true that she regularly worked double shifts, then she was at work or sleeping most of the time and her lazy ass husband had plenty of time to build bombs and clean up and put things away.

It’s not hard to believe that the wife knew nothing. She worked 80 hours a week which means she wasn’t home very much. A lot can get accomplished when the wife isn’t there.

Secondly, these men don’t value their women as people. They are beneath camels, goats and DOGs even, in fact a goat has more value than a woman. They are nothing more than maids and baby making machines. Those men don’t talk to their wives unless they have to hide under her burkah and then it’s nothing more than an order she has to obey.

So, is it conceivable that she wouldn’t know? Yep.

The rest is swiss cheese.

btw, Graham Fuller was involved in Iran/Contra

Is suppose to be an expert in Islamic Extremism

And was involved with a corporation that likely had CIA ties after he left the CIA.

Oh, and Uncle had ties with USAID..known to frequently be used as a CIA cover.

Or dead Brother was a CIA asset that went rogue and decided to wing it. Interesting history about his application for a Russian passport and how he left it behind in Russia.

Haven’t looked into all the details to see how much looks like reality.

As someone pointed out...Russia could have alerted US to Dead Bomber to see what the US would do as a test to see if he was an asset.

So was the warning from the Saudi and Russia turned over to one of the UNCLE friends?

Russian and Ukraine mafia have a certain reputation for brutality.

The old saying went something like the US Mafia would only come after you but the Russian mafia would come after you , your whole family, and your dog.

I don’t know much about the Chechen mafia.

Wiki indicates they are big drug dealers and Putin has tried to link them to Al Qaeda.

What I do know is that Uncle ran with the bigwigs of Chechnya.

I doubt the bigwigs became Oligarchs without some Mafia influence somewhere.

I doubt he married into a high level former CIA family without being vetted.

I doubt the US received Warnings without someone here finding out about and/or knowing about said Uncle.

This whole affair is a real Puzzle Palace. There are so many twists,turns and nuances it can make your head hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if that is what it is intended to do so the low info voter looses interest grabs a beer from the fridge and goes back to watching “Dancing with the Stars”.

I wonder if all this is more than one operation going on simultaneously? Ours, Theirs, Rogue assets, plain old ordinary terrorism, FBI sting gone bad, and/or cross/double cross. What a mess.

We know Russia would like to destablize the West.

Putin is probably applauding the disaster that is Obama.

But now he sends Russia Today out to start with the false flag stories.

For all we know, Russia is behind this Bombing.

It really is a massive Circle Jerk.
