The FBI has revealed that they now know the identity of the American known as Misha who helped radicalize the Boston bombing suspects.
Family members of dead bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev have described Misha as the guiding influence in the elder bomber developing radicalized views.
Speculation as to who Misha is has varied wildly in the past week, with some suggesting he is the mastermind behind the marathon bombings while others believe he could be a Russian spy - sent to identify and keep tabs on young men like Tamerlan who are at risk of turning to militant Islam.
To date all that is known about him is that he is an Armenian man in his 30s with distinctive red beard and that he has disappeared - no longer living in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area.
However, family members have been telling reporters that in the years before the Boston marathon bombings, Tamerlan, 26, fell under the strong influence of a new friend, a Christian who converted to Islam and who steered the religiously apathetic young man towards adopting strong Islamic views.

“all that is known about him is that he is an Armenian man in his 30s with distinctive red beard and that he has disappeared - no longer living in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area”
There is a surprise...I guess he was just waiting for someone to come and give him his Miranda. Long gone through our pourous borders.
I don’t believe it.
The FBI is finally on track - I’ll bet they’re kicking themselves for time wasted ‘investigating’ the grandparents of FreeRepublic... I doubt they’ll be running down false trails in the future. Benghazi, Boston, and Mr. Red Beard have woken a sleeping giant.
The guy may be a lowlife, but unless he actually and materially aided these terrorists, there is virtually nothing the Feds can do. Prosecuting him for his speech and ideas, however vile, will give the government unacceptable power to silence anyone.
I don’t believe it either....I bet this guy is like the “video producer” of Benghazi fame....a scapegoat....
Willie is not really Scottish, but an Armenian named Misha.
****with distinctive red beard***
The most fanatical moslems will dye their beards a henna red because Mohamed did the same to cover his grey.
If you see one with a henna red beard, be careful.
>>> ..... red-bearded American
Guess that ruled out carrot top Holmes. (Did he ever grow a beard? sarc)
Management level Agents who took their oaths seriously would have outed all the corruption long ago.
The dept as with all others now is under Lib control. Any field agent will be disrupted, sent down rabbit holes or dismissed.
