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.”

One key point here was pretty effectively debunked by another Freeper (maybe even earlier on this thread). These were not sophisticated bombs, according to this Freeper who claimed to be an electrical engineer. That reinforced something that I had suspected from the beginning. And now, nearly a week later, these bombs look like something a few of my middle-school classmates could have built -- even without any help from their parents, let alone a group of terrorists.
