    It is just amazing how someone can receive so much from Americans and still hate us so much that they blow up our children.

    hmmmm; sure seems like a massive intel failure:

    --
    EXCLUSIVE: Saudi Arabia 'warned the United States IN WRITING about Boston Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012'
    Saudis developed intelligence separately from Russia, which also warned the U.S. about the accused Boston bomber
    A letter to the Department of Homeland Security allegedly named Tsarnaev and three Pakistanis as potential jihadis worthy of U.S. investigation
    Red flags from Saudi Arabia to have included Tsarnaev's name and information about a planned explosive attack on a major U.S. city
    Saudi foreign minister, national security chief both met with Obama in the oval office in early 2013

    If they aren't accomplices before the fact, I can see them choosing to be accomplices after the fact when they saw their friend in trouble. Neither option is good.

    it's a clown show, bro:

    --
    Boston bombing cover up suspect's visa should have been revoked
    Over a decade after the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history, it seems that the U.S. immigration system that allowed the September 11 hijackers to enter the country legally is still flawed.

    Some lawmakers question whether Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev should have been so easily admitted back into the U.S. after his trip to Russia, Chechnya, and Dagestan last year. After all, in 2011 the Russian government warned both the FBI and the CIA that they were worried that Tsarnaev had become an extremist, and would be traveling to meet with underground groups. The U.S. investigated and found nothing.

    Now there is another concern. Three friends of alleged bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have now been arrested for their alleged involvement after the Boston Marathon attack. Azamat Tazhayakov, Dias Kadyrbayev, and Robel Phillipos all went to school with Tsarnaev at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Two are accused of removing evidence from Tsarnaev's dorm room after the attack, including a backpack containing fireworks and a laptop.

    Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev, both from Kazakhstan, were staying in the U.S. on student visas. But Tazhayakov is no longer a student. Tazhayakov' returned to Kazakhstan in December 2012, according to a U.S. government official. While he was overseas, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth terminated his status as a student, on January 4.

    At that point, his student visa should have been invalidated. The university took the proper steps, and provided information to the appropriate system for foreign students, flagging that he was no longer registered.

    But Customs and Border Protection never got the message, so when he returned to the states on January 20, CBP granted Tazhayakov entry.


    The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement, saying it is "reforming the student visa system to ensure that CBP is provided with real time updates on all relevant student visa information."

    A GAO report notes that as of January 2012, more than 850,000 foreign students were in the United States, enrolled at more than 10,000 U.S. schools.

    Tazhayakov – the DHS says – was not a threat at the time of his re-entry.

    Apparently the bombs were built inside the older brothers house but his wife had no idea about it or even her husbands involvement with it. In fact all of the brothers were seemingly normal people. This sounds like a massive cover up.

    Guessing they tried to help out their friend when they learned what he had done. Utterly, utterly r****ded, but sadly understandable.

    Man questioned in Boston Marathon bombing shot, killed by FBI

    Khusen Taramov said he and Ibragim Todashev were being questioned as part of the bombings by the FBI official and another law enforcement officer in Orlando.

    Taramov said Todashev, 27, knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters.

    Taramov said they were interviewed nearly three hours, and at some point, "something went wrong," and Todashev was killed.

    "There was some sort of aggressive movement that led the FBI agent to believe he was under threat and he opened fire," the law enforcement official told ABC News.

    "(The FBI) took me and my friend, the suspect that got killed. They were talking to us, both of us, right? And they said they need him for a little more, for a couple more hours, and I left, and they told me they're going to bring him back. They never brought him back," Taramiv said.

    The FBI confirmed that a person was shot and killed, but would not disclose details about the investigation.

    "We are currently responding to a shooting incident involving an FBI special agent," FBI spokesman Dave Couvertier said. "The agent encountered the suspect while conducting official duties. The suspect is deceased."

    "When (Todashev) used to live in Boston, they used to hang out -- not hang out -- he knew him. They met a few times because (Todashev) was a MMA fighter and (Tsarnaev) was a boxer. They just knew each other. That's it," said Taramov.
