An armed man in his 20s being surveilled by the FBI counterterrorism unit was shot and killed by an FBI agent and a Boston police officer in Roslindale this morning, according to Boston Police Commissioner William Evans.

The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
OK...why the heck is the MAYOR on SITE???
You mean the feds didn’t clean house in the Boston area after the Tsarnov lads blew up the Boston Marathon? Must’ve been too busy spying on US citizens.
This was news on Kuhner on WRKO this morning. I tried looking for an article at the time to post but was turning up nothin.
Looking forward to the developments...

From a tweet by reporter David S. Bernstein: A Boston area Imam, Ibrahim Rahim, has posted on Facebook that his brother is the victim of today’s police shooting... He has posted on Facebook that the man fatally shot in Roslindale is his youngest brother Usaama Rahim.
The comments following the article are with one exception in support of the police actions and questioning why these terrorist scum (my word choice) are even in the US.
Terror probe. Like the dead associate of the “lone wolf” Boston marathon bombers.
Because he caught so much grief yesterday after his tweet saying Bruce Jenner is a hero .

Ah, pulling a J. Edgar.
Not familiar with da mayor, but apparently he's a client of the publicity firm (same people that advise Shakedown Jackson, Chuck the Schmuck, etc.) that encourages its customers not to let anything get between themselves and a camera.
The more cameras, the better.
Usually.
Another mayor, Marion Barry, had a slightly different viewpoint, but couldn't be reached for comment.
The Mayor of Boston really said that? Good grief.
Usaama..gee, what could possibly go wrong
Local reporter Lauren Leamanczyk tweeted this: Man shot in Roslindale was under investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Investigators are at a 2nd location linked to same case.
Odd that the FBI would be going after a radical Muslim - isn't that a "PC no-no"?
