The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist sleeper cell linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.
Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack.
More than 1,000 FBI agents were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhars dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.
A source close to the investigation said: We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.
They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come.

The "sleeper cells" are only a symptom. To kill the disease, you need to start with mullahs (A lot who reside in Saudi) "activating" the cells.

I was thinking the same thing. Also, to get relevant photos and content deemed to sensitive to publish, you have to go to foreign papers.

This must be the Tea Party link we’ve been expecting.
To: rjbemsha
But what would their motive be?
Try as I might, I just can't figure out why they would they would want to throw bombs and kill US citizens.
It's a mystery.
It just makes no sense.
