That makes sense. A cell-phone would give his location away.

A terrifying cache of explosives believed to belong to the suspected bombers have been found today as thousands of police officers continue to scour Boston for fugitive Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

At least seven IEDs have been located, some in Watertown and some at the Tsarnaev family home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, police said. There were fears among officials that devices had been planted at other locations after one was reportedly discovered in the Charlesgate section of the city. The IED has been made safe.

Police and SWAT teams were seen rushing to the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth campus where Dzhokhar is a student.

It emerged earlier that Dzhokhar, 19, posted a chilling message on Twitter eight months ago where he wrote: ‘Boston marathon isn’t a good place to smoke’.

The message was uncovered as Boston remained on lock-down 16 hours into the manhunt for the 19-year-old terror suspect after he fled the scene of a shoot-out with police where his accomplice and older brother Tamerlan, 26, was killed.

The tweet last August appeared on the micro-blogging site from user @J_Tsar - named in multiple reports as an alias for the man behind Monday’s atrocity. He also tweeted about his intent to grow a beard and how he ‘wanted out’ of American life.

The messages suggested the level of forethought and planning that the Chechen immigrants allegedly put into the devastating attack on Boston which killed three people, including at eight-year-old boy, and left 176 injured.
