The feds must have suspected something was up. Otherwise, why the security sweeps beforehand at the beginning and finish line of the race?
Otherwise, why the security sweeps beforehand at the beginning and finish line of the race?....SOP. And did the Feds do this or the local cops. Usually the local cops do the grunt work, so the Feds can point fingers and say”See? They F’ed up.”
Where did these kids get the money they lived on and they had expensive tastes.
Where did Tamerlan get the money to fly to Russia and stay there for 6 months??
It’s hard to believe that these 2 were not known and atleast recognizable by that bunch of young Saudis whose pictures have been all over this board the last week. They were all the same age and must have comingled at the Menino Mosque which is run by Saudi imams and with Saudi money.
It is well known that there is a Saudi connection to Chechniya. The Saudis have the money and the Chechens have the willing manpower.
They may have known something was up, but they also routinely did such security sweeps for the marathon as well.
