The bombs used in the Boston Marathon attack were built in the apartment that suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev shared with his wife and child, a U.S. law enforcement official with first-hand knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Thursday. The official was not authorized to release the information.
Katherine Russell, Tsarnaev's widow, has remained largely out of view inside her parents' North Kingstown home since her husband's death.
It remains unclear what, if anything, Tamerlan's widow might have known or suspected, the source added.
According to her attorney, Amato DeLuca, the 24-year-old widow knew nothing of plans to bomb the race, and reports of her husband's involvement came as an "absolute shock" to Russell and her family.
Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, initially planned to carry out a suicide-bomb attack on July 4, a U.S. law enforcement official regularly briefed on the Boston bombing investigation told CNN. The source said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators their bombs were ready earlier than they expected and they decided to move up the date.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators that the Boston Marathon was chosen as a target only a day or two before the event, the source said.
It is unclear which specific event would have been targeted but one of the biggest July Fourth celebrations in the country is held in Boston. The annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular hosts 500,000 spectators, according to the event's website. It is televised live nationally on CBS.
The revelation comes the same day the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev was claimed by his family and later was picked up by a funeral home, according to Terrel Harris, spokesman for the Massachusetts office of the chief medical examiner.....

Oops, sorry - not technically Chechnya
It’s the North Caucusas
What are they doing with the stiff? I hope someone at the morgue “accidently” bumped the temp way up in his cooler.
We can thank Uncle Ruslan’s ex CIA father in law for helping the crazy Islamists.
“The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army,” explains a former CIA analyst. “The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter Chinese influence in Central Asia.” In a certain sense, the Cold War is still going on. For years Graham Fuller, former Deputy Director of the National Council on Intelligence at the CIA, has been talking up the “modernizing virtues” of the Islamists, insisting on their anti-Statist concept of the economy. Listening to him, you would almost take the Taleban and their Wahhabi allies for liberals. “Islam, in theory at least, is firmly anchored in the traditions of free trade and private enterprise,” wrote Fuller. “The prophet was a trader, as was his first wife. Islam does not glorify the State’s role in the economy.”

From what I understand, it was very tiny apartment. Otherwise, I might think he could have hidden the bombs in his “prayer room.” cough cough Most Muslims I hear talking about prayer rooms seem to indicate that they are for men only.
But no way they had room for a prayer room, so who knows where they could have hidden the bomb making paraphernala.
So she’s either lying or dumb as rocks, but genetics say otherwise. (Dad a physician and mom a nurse.)
Just so you know...
wife of Dead Bomber is granddaughter of Richard Warren Russell...member of Skull and Crossbones.

Geeeeezzz
i do believe there were several. if my husband brought home a bunch of pressure cookers in my apartment...
i am fairly CERTAiN i would.be questioning the reason.
It certainly is!
On the uncle - he was so emphatic that his nephews were "losers" and that they dishonored the family.
He was so emphatic. Why did he speak out at all?
He really seemed to distance himself...hadn't seen them since years but he knew they were "losers". When did he decide they were losers? Years ago when he last saw them (!!!!) or recently when they got caught?
On what grounds is he calling them "losers"?
Bttt
If Uncle had stayed quiet it would have taken the internet detectives much longer to find out he has affiliations with the CIA and helped facilitate terrorists through the Benevolence charity . He has a different last name for a reason.
Which begs the question - did someone want him out in front of the cameras for a reason.
Was it ever determined what msg B.O. sent to Putin telling that after the election he would have more "flexibility".
True that.
Very good question, RummyChick!
Did he and/or someone want them out of the way? The July 4th was to be a suicide bombing.
Maybe Terrorists #1 and #2 got to thinking they didn't want to suicide themselves and went rogue - different date.
Maybe uncle calls them "losers" because they couldn't even follow directions to bomb on the 4th.
Maybe uncle was sending code to his higher ups................."losers" gone rogue.
I'd think Terrorist #2 should go into witness relocation program. He could spill quite a lot, I would think.
