Russian authorities intercepted a communication in 2011 between the mother of the accused Boston Marathon bombers and someone who may have been one of her sons "discussing jihad," a U.S. official with knowledge of the investigation told CNN's Susan Candiotti. The Russians turned over their intercept of the conversation -- which the official described as vague -- in the last few days.
Twelve days after a pair of blasts turned celebratory cheers into screams of horror at the Boston Marathon's finish line, investigators continued working -- interviewing people and searching for evidence, even when it meant sifting through trash -- to find out why.
One of the latest focuses of the probe has been a landfill in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a city adjacent to the town where the surviving bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, attended school at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.
Authorities have finished combing the dump for clues that may shed light on the bloody attack, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller, who wouldn't say whether they turned up anything.
That includes any luck in locating Tsarnaev's laptop computer, which a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation had said investigators were looking for.
Tsarnaev led authorities to look there, the source said, and others who may have knowledge of the computer's whereabouts or may have played a role in disposing it also provided leads that prompted the search.
The boat -- located in the backyard of a Watertown, Massachusetts, home -- where Tsarnaev was captured has been taken to an undisclosed location, to be thoroughly examined, according to the FBI.

In the meantime...how many shoes have been inspected in airports? How much was spent per shoe?
GAAAAAA.....
They’re onto a get used to terrorism talking point. Jon Stewart is on making fun of pundits who suggest checking student visas in a real way. He’s defending the rights of jihadists in our country.
If I read this article correctly, there are more than a half million names on the TIDE watch list.
If they are all in the country...we are in deep doo-doo.
Another lefty self-loathing Jew.
Times sure have changed-—I never thought that I’d see the day when the Russian intelligence & security services were more interested in protecting the American people than the American government. I guess that is because the higher reaches of our government are now populated with folks who hate America and capitalism and support the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic organizations.
So misguided. But people are listening to him!
How stupid are we?
I know, it’s quite pathetic. Teens and twenty-somethings that are baked get news from the Comedy Channel. That should disqualify one from voting.
More or less by definition, the more names on the list the less attention will be paid to any one of them. Pretty much defeating the purpose of the list.
Russians didn’t turn this part over til the last few days, didn’t see that part.
“I never thought that I’d see the day when the Russian intelligence & security services were more interested in protecting the American people than the American government.”
Amazing, isn’t it? But then, we have a president who has openly said that he’d side with the muzz if the political winds turned in the wrong direction.
In a different time the Obastard would have been brought up on charges.
And Russia has their nukes and we are giving ours away to appear more peace like and friendly. All this means is that our govt will evaporate in a cloud of radioactive debris due to their own stupidity.
Butch Napolitano was alleged to have blamed it on the Russians. She said that the Russians inundate DHS with 4 or 5 tips every year straining the resources of the FBI. When the FBI asked the Russians exactly when and where this supposed terrorism was to take place the Russians came up empty and insulted Butch by saying that maybe she should get off her very fat a$$ and find out.
No doubt. Vlad “KGB” Putin’s gov’t was more on the ball with these people than our own gov’t.
pretty stupid i’d say.
If you were a 19 yo terrorist I would bet you would think it was pretty funny to send the police searching a landfill for something that wasn’t there.
Perhaps even funnier then them believing that you and your brother were acting alone.
It’s a symbiotic thing.
Libs are completely unwilling to listen to our take on things, yet we know just what they’re talking about at all times.
They are in a pretend world, yet they are, for the moment, running it.
For now.
EEyikes.
Well. It’s Saturday night. I’m off.
Prayers WILL help.
