Local Fox affliliate Fox25 has the best coverage here in MA - they are 5 steps ahead of all of the other news sources.    The liberals' heads are literally exploding on facebook because of it with the inside-job conspiracy theories being formulated "isn't it funny how Fox is getting info no other reporter is getting..."

Yeah, it's called investigative reporting with good contacts morons.   Nads can fill you in on that...

Boston bombing suspects identified as Tsarnaev brothers from Russia's Caucasus
http://rt.com/news/chechnya-suspect-boston-bombing-110/

Although largely filled by ordinary music videos, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s YouTube channel shows a growing predilection for radical Islamism. He repeatedly listened to songs such as ‘I will dedicate my life to Jihad’, as well as videos recorded by recent converts to Islam

Apparently also resident in the US, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the mother of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan, turns out to have a criminal record of her own. On June 13, 2012, the 45-year-old was arrested by the police in Natick, Massachusetts, and charged with larceny of women's clothing valued at $1,624, as well as two counts of malicious damage to property.

Boston locked down for massive manhunt; one bombing suspect killed by police, the other at-large

The driver, who was released unharmed on Memorial Drive, told police that the brothers had bragged to him that they were the marathon bombers, law enforcement authorities said.

Their own stupidity was their downfall.

The YouTube page of the older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed early this morning, was created in August, 2012. One of his playlists, set up five months ago, is labeled "Terrorists." The two videos that were in the playlist have been removed. It appears that the videos belonged to someone else, but that Tamerlan added them to his playlist. www.youtube.com

Boston bombing suspect tweeted 'stay safe'
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/19/justice/boston-suspect-tweets/?hpt=us_t3

(CNN) -- Boston bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev has tweeted since the Boston Marathon bombings on what two friends of his tell CNN is his Twitter account.

His tweets included one at 1:43 a.m. Wednesday that said, "I'm a stress free kind of guy."

On Monday at 8:04 p.m. -- hours after the bombings -- he tweeted a quote from rapper Jay-Z, "Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people."

Here is his Twitter account.

So now the Uncle and the sisters have all admitted it's their family members, yet none of them came forward last night and said they knew who they were. Interesting no?

The kid in that picture IS NOT #2. According to Twitchy, his name is  Sunil Tripathi. He is a student who is missing from Brown University.

NBC reported Friday morning that Tripathi, whose name was mentioned on the scanner, is not a suspect. The second suspect is still on the run, according to NBC.

BREAKING NEWS: Police were still focusing on a small section of Boston in their hunt for the second Boston Marathon bomber continued following a chaotic night of mayhem night that saw a police officer and one of the suspects killed.

An earlier lookout bulletin to a green Honda Civic, which stoked fears police believed the suspect had slipped their net, was canceled, putting the spotlight back on the city's Watertown section, where Black Hawk helicopters were patrolling the sky and police were going door-to-door hunting for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Police say he and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, placed the bombs that killed three and injured 176 at Monday's race.

Police say the sibling suspects were Chechen brothers, Muslims from Dagestan, a province in Russia that borders Chechnya. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.,  is believed to be armed and extremely dangerous, and authorities were telling people in much of Boston to remain indoors.

"We have several other new leads that have just developed with the past few minutes," said Massachusetts State Police Police Superintendent Timothy Alben, speaking at a news conference early Friday afternoon. He said police had covered "60 to 70 percent" of the perimeter, inside which they believe Tsarnaev is hiding.

Wow.  I can't imagine how the people in that town must feel right now. 

Well lemme give you an idea . . .

 

Only a little more so.

To be honest, it's more frustrating than anything else.  Good people are out there risking their lives and those of us that aren't in uniform are told to sit tight and wait.  Sure, it's kind of nice to have a day to do chores and catch up on housework, schoolwork, various other projects but it'd also be nice to know something.

I really can't complain though.  I think the police have done an exemplary job so far.  Talking with some neighbors, I noticed that we all have eyes moving all the time.  Some other neighbors (older folks who usually get meals on wheels but not today) are coming over for supper soon because I'm still stocked for a blizzard (never know what could happen  ).  I don't know that need to have WillPitt drama queen moments but it would be nice to have this asshole in custody and singing like a canary.

We'll just stay out of the way and keep praying and keep looking after each other.  That's the best anyone can do I think.

I highly doubt that he'll be taken alive.
