Two U.S. officials said last night the evidence from the bedside interrogation suggests the terror suspects did not have any accomplices, despite previous fears they were part of a 12-man terror 'sleeper cell.'

Those are the questions I’d like to know the answer to. It sounds a bit like bull crap to me. Was the older brother paranoid?? Just what did he think he needed to “defend Islam” from? And surely blowing up some average American folk just watching a race isn’t any kind of “defense” at all! And if he was off his rocker then the “little brother” is even more culpable than he was for not being a voice of reason. On the other hand, he could have been very afraid of retribution were he to cross his brother in refusing to participate or rat him out. Which, if they were working alone, would obviously point to him. I was wondering if he ran his brother over because of panic and it being dark or maybe he was pissed off and it was deliberate instead?? Who knows but I can;t trust what this kid says right now. Didn’t those in the know state they couldn’t have done this alone? Supposedly they learned from the freaking internet. Somebody knew what they were up to.
He ran his brother over and killed him.Good to see he has any emotion.
It was a joke...Our system and government are so f’d up it’s beyond description..
I guess I should have mentioned it was sarcasm.
It turns out maybe they did both. Everything they needed from incitement to incindiary could have been found in the jihad magazine Inspire internet edition. An example of the content captured at the heavy.com link.
