Federal law enforcement officials are actively investigating the possibility that the Boston bombers were known to the government’s terror-trackers, MailOnline understands.
Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others.
CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night's dramatic shootout. The feds reportedly spoke to him at the request of an unspecified foreign government, but couldn't establish that he had ties to terrorist radicals.
Tamerlan left the United States in January 2012 for Russia and returned in mid-July, according to records uncovered by NBC in New York.
But an official inside the Department of Homeland Security with knowledge of federal law enforcement activities in Massachusetts has claimed to MailOnline that Tamerlan was on the radar screen of agents in Boston between his return to the U.S. and the end of the fall.
A second source, formerly assigned to a U.S. JTTF, confirmed to MailOnline that ‘there is some very quiet discussion in the Boston JTTF about this.’
.................
The Homeland Security source told MailOnline that the FBI in Boston now believes Tamerlan was receiving assistance from an 'organized radical element' in Massachusetts. And agents are now reviewing at least one report from inside a mosque to see if they can identify Tamerlan’s associates in Boston's Muslim community.
Law enforcement at the federal level has 'practically nothing' on Dzhokhar, Tamerlan's younger brother,that source claimed.

I suspect the Feds knew whom it was almost immediately. This was a major drop of the ball. Three days later they play dumb and stumped and they release photos for civilian help. This was just a cover their ass charade which needlessly got the Cambridge cop killed. Heads need to roll, hopefully Big Fat Sis is one of them, but we know how that will go.
Thank god foreign governments and the foreign media are looking out for our interests.
While suspect one was training in Russia/Chechnya, the Department of Homeland Security was in sensitivity training.
Get them out of there. We have to — or else!
I know it. I keep praying.... and voting.
Why? Really, you’re asking WHY? The fedzilla has a long list of special perps they can use for special purposes ... even tracking them, allowing them to get going (or get direct help from fedzilla, as has been proven on several occasions, including the first bombing of the WTC in the nineties, or the seven/seven terrorist plot). There is an agenda afoot which requires enough ‘controlled’ terrorism to persuade the American sheeple to surrender their Constitutional rights so the globalist new world order can be instituted without US resistence to it.
FBI probably hit the PC glass ceiling.

Certainly true in nearly every federal agency now as diversity rules the day. As a result, inexperienced and clueless “managers” abound.
Ammunition is plural.
"They put out a bid for a certain number of a specified product and take the lowest bid in general for large purchases."
Occasionally. More frequently in modern ammunition solicitations a contract is awarded on the basis of "Best Value" to the government which includes such aspects as previous government contract history, quality, delivery, customer service, production capacity, woman or minority owned, etc.
"Well excuse me for not (sic) proper kings english (sic)! " Do you know proper English usage?
"You must be form (sic) the east!" No.
"I am sorry you do not understand slang."
Your apology is accepted. For the record, I well understand street slang, profanity and the speech mannerisms of under-educated, unrefined and rude people.
"Wouldn't it be boring if we all spoke and wore (sic) form the same book of instruction?"
Such an asinine comment hardly deserves comment, but do you believe drivers should be able to choose which side of the highway upon which to drive or the threads on light bulbs shouldn't be standardized or that the "Cold" faucet is on the right side, etc?
There are very solid reasons why civilized people standardize many aspects of life, including communications.
Having access to a keyboard does not make you a standard by which others should emulate. Heaven forbid!
Ammunition is plural.
I was using Ammunition as a noun!
Do you know John Kerry?
Perhaps Tammerlan was the real Islamic terrorist and his younger brother was just along for the ride/learning experience? “Hey, little Brother, let me show you how it’s done.”
Excellent question! An answer for which is most likely not forthcoming.
Form now on it is called Old York. The old normal.
The side that is running it. Right now, the House of Saud.
Thanks for posting this.
Terrorist #1 Amazon.com wishlist (from Jester)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it didn't take a court order for Twitter user Jester to find it.
Yet again we see foreign news services doing the homework.
