When Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent six months in the Russian region of Dagestan, he had a guide with an unusually deep knowledge of the local Islamist community: a distant cousin named Magomed Kartashov. Six years older than Tsarnaev, Kartashov is a former police officer and freestyle wrestlerand one of the regions most prominent Islamists.
In 2011 Kartashov founded and became the leader of an organization called the Union of the Just, whose members campaign for sharia law and pan-Islamic unity in Dagestan, often speaking out against U.S. policies across the Muslim world. The group publicly renounces violence. But some of its members have close links to militants; others have served time in prison for weapons possession and abetting terrorismcharges they say were based on fabricated evidence.
For Tsarnaev, these men formed a community of pious young Muslims with whom he could discuss his ideas of jihad. Tsarnaevs mother, Zubeidat, confirmed that her son is Kartashovs third cousin. The two met for the first time in Dagestan, she said, and became very close.
Since April 19, when Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar were publicly identified as being the key suspects in the bombing of the Boston Marathon, investigators have been trying to work out how they were radicalized to the point of wanting to kill and main people in the United States, the country the brothers had called home for much of their lives.
Much of the investigators attention has focused on Tsarnaevs visit to Dagestan in 2012. It appears that investigators have only recently begun exploring Tsarnaevs links to his cousin.

Uncle Tsarni is an operative. Kathy Russell seems more like an operative herself than just simply a wife.
The “bombing” stinks to high heaven of some kind of bankster/CIA stunt to a) test out shutting down a city and b) (yet again) terrorize the American public, c) provide propaganda fodder for gun control and d) try to incite decent people to similar acts, which will provide the perfect excuse to go after guns.
New world order wants to feed us a steady diet of “terror” inside America.

Definitely a busy time. So much to digest.
This is what I could find. I am assuming it will be televised on one of the C-Span channels.
Three high-profile witnesses are scheduled to testify Thursday [9am] at the GOP-controlled House Homeland Security Committees hearing:
Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis
,
Massachusetts Undersecretary for Homeland Security Director Kurt Schwartz
Sen. Joe Lieberman
Two weeks ago, our country was attacked by radical Islamist terrorists. Four lives were lost and hundreds of others were forever changed, Committee Chairman Michael T. McCaul, Texas Republican, said last week. As our nation recovers, it is imperative that we understand what happened, what signs may have been missed and what we can improve.
Mr. McCaul said his hearing will focus on how law enforcement addressed the bombing area after the attack, and how federal, state and local agencies shared information

No surprise.
Come on, aren’t they all?
Yea yea yea. They are all prominent. They are all learned. They are all Holy cities.
Thank You Thouworm! I have it on right now. I am not sure how long I can watch it today or whether the witnesses will shed any real light on how Big Sis dropped the ball. The Boston homeland security dude might be interesting. Can’t figure out why Lieberman is there....lol.
Good grief, the idiotic video again???
Wait. So, who’s to say Hillary’s dragging that never seen video out caused the Brothers Evil to go off the deep end then Hillary and Rice and the Muzzy in the WH is to blame for the bombing. I like that.
