Russian Terrorist
Connections to Boston Bombers
by Bob Beauprez
Two weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing we are still learning new
information - and generating new questions. The following article by
Valery Dzutsev published yesterday in the Jamestown Foundation's
Eurasia Daily Monitor.
Dzutsev names two Russian terrorists (both killed by Russian
authorities) directly linked to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother in
the Boston bombing. He also documents "contradictions" about Tsarnaev's
visits to Russia given by government authorities.
Additionally, Dzutsev explains the "uncharacteristic" way that the
parents of the Tsarnaev brothers are being treated by Russian media and
authorities. Family members of known terrorists are similarly
suspect in Russia. The law prohibits the media from "'propagating
terrorism,' and featuring a suspected terrorist's mother would count as
such an act," according to Dzutsev. Instead he says, "Russian security
services appear to be courting the parents instead of persecuting them."
Dzutsev's concludes that "The Russian security services' gradual
leaking of information invites more questions than it answers."
That's putting it politely. The Obama Administration's company line is
that the Tsarnaev brothers were lone wolves, or "knock-off jihadis"
(Biden's term), who perpetrated their madness for reasons
unknown. That's beginning to sound about as credible as the
Benghazi attack being a spontaneous response to a movie almost no one
had seen.
Russian Security Services Offer Surprising Revelations About Boston
Bombings
Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 10 Issue: 80

April 29, 2013
On April 27, the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta published an article
on the dead Boston bomber suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, based on
information it received from the Russian security services. It cited
officers of the Dagestani Center for Combating Extremism who said they
became aware of Tsarnaev’s presence in the republic in April 2012 and
registered his “repeated” meetings with 18-year-old Mahmud Mansur
Nidal, who had previously been under surveillance for a year. The
police considered Nidal to be a recruiter for the Dagestani insurgency,
so the police scrutinized everyone who contacted him extensively (http://www.novayagazeta.ru/inquests/57925.html).
The Novaya Gazeta report directly contradicts an earlier statement by
Dagestani Interior Minister Abdurashid Magomedov, who stated that
Tsarnaev indeed visited Dagestan in 2012, but stayed in the republic
only for 3–4 days to receive his passport and left the republic before
the passport was ready (http://top.rbc.ru/politics/24/04/2013/855465.shtml).
Nidal was killed in a special operation in Makhachkala on May 19, 2012.
The police accused him of participating in a terrorist attack on a
police checkpoint in the city last May 3. That day, police sealed off a
house in the Dagestani capital in which Nidal was located along with
several other people, including women and children…
