Investigators want to know what drew the accused bombers to the cluster of side streets in the blue-collar suburb, far from any major thoroughfare, especially if the brothers were on the run after their images had been shown on television by the FBI and after they had allegedly murdered MIT Police Officer Sean Collier.

"It's clear the suspects have connections to Watertown," said Joseph Curatone, the mayor in the neighboring city of Somerville told ABC News. "And it's abundantly clear that investigators are exploring every aspect of those connections as they should."

Some answers may be found in an obscure town parking ticket and a police report from the adjoining suburb of Arlington about a minor case involving open containers of alcohol, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The parking ticket, obtained by ABC News, was written on a car registered to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at 2:10 a.m. on February 18, 2011 on the 200 block of Boylston Street...

Good post. My thoughts exactly. It can be hard pursuing one’s jihadist interests while being burdened with trying to pay ones’ living expenses.

Simple. That's were all the best hiding boats are. But seriously, I'm guessing officials already know why these two ran to Watertown. It was a month after the fact that we learned the younger brother wrote a confession note in the boat. I'm sure we will learn why they were there soon enough.

That is... IF officials decide to release that info.

It just shows what a relative unsophisticated terrorist can accomplish if anonymity and a willingness to sacrifice yourself can accomplish.

The hard part(no sarcasm intended) is getting away with it.

Well, in fairness, that wouldn't really be a differentiator, since almost every other town in Massachusetts has the same PC liberal attitude overall.

I want to know why they were in Malden the night before. And yes, there is a Mosque in Malden squre that was a secret until someone from city hall had a DPW truck attempt to remove dozens of shoes from the side walk in front of an empty store front. They were upstairs and came running out in to the street in protest.

Why the scum were attracted to Boston?

The question should be:

Why did our government permit them entry to our country?"
