US officials said a special interrogation unit specialized in dealing with high-value suspects were waiting to question the 19-year old Chechen terrorist.

Once federal investigators are allowed access to Tsarnaev, they will be keen to quiz him on his connections – in the US, in Dagestan, where his father lives, and Chechnya, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev is thought to have visited last year.

Much of the investigation is likely to focus on the activities of Dzokhar's elder brother. The FBI has revealed that in 2011 Tamerlan was interviewed by its agents at the request of an unnamed foreign government – widely reported to have been Russia - who asked the bureau to look into whether Tamerlan, then 24, had extremist connections.

In a statement the FBI said that the foreign government had information that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a "follower of radical Islam and a strong believer, and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country's region to join unspecified underground groups."

In response to the request the FBI scoured Tamerlan's telephone records, online history, associations with other people, movements and educational history, and agents interviewed him and his relatives. But the bureau found no evidence of terrorism activity either at home or abroad. It passed on its findings to the foreign government.

The FBI is now likely to retrace its steps and repeat that search more thoroughly.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev's six-month visit to Russia last year will be of particular interest to federal agents. During the visit he stayed with his father Anzor Tsarnaev in Makhachkala, Dagestan, and visited the family's ethnic home of Chechnya, it is believed.

Speaking from Russia, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the suspects' mother, suggested that Tamerlan had already been subjected to FBI surveillance.

"They knew what my son was doing, they knew what sites on the internet he was going to," she told state television.

I doubt if the two boys were - directly or not - tied with the Chechen guerrilla and more particularly with warlord Dokka Umarov.

The US authorities accuse Chechen singer Mutsurayev for his involvement in the bombings and his supposed relations with Moslem extremist organization al-Qaeda and its leader Ayman al-Zawahri. But it's likely Umarov who planned and ordered the operation.

Abroad, we provide them with guns and explosives.

So what's the difference?

Whenever cataclysmic and counterproductive foreign policy fiascos occur, you can rest assured the US State Department deserves sole "credit".

According to Huffington Post the U.S. Senate failed to muster sufficient support Wednesday for a gun-buyer background check bill that's supported by nearly 90 percent of Americans.

An unfortunate thing, is that given the amount of media coverage and widespread panic that was televised throughout the world, this has basically given other 'would be' bombers a text book like example of what to do if they were to repeat the scenario. Make no mistake, thats what they would be doing and thats what they will be learning. Largely, if you can walk into a hardware store and purchase most of the materials, then its only going to happen again.

I personally did not like the amount of media attention it recieved. I thought it was wrong to make such a big deal out of a situation like a terror plot. Not saying it's not a big deal, but there should be more control on whats televised. The less panic that is created, the less impact it has and of course the less succesful the plot.

Ponder this- The vast majority of American people die from one of four ailments - cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease - and yet Republicans have held three dozen votes to repeal "Obamacare", which expands healthcare coverage to 30 million Americans. However, 3531 Americans were killed by guns in the past four months - a total that surpasses the number of Americans who died on 9/11 and is one fewer than the number of US soldiers who lost their lives in combat operations in Iraq. Yet, none of this daily violence was considered urgent enough to motivate the Congress to impose a mild, commonsense restriction on gun purchasers.

Yet, a marathon terror plot kills a few, injures many but makes top international news and thus, gives any jihadist satisfaction that they got the job done.

Alas, with fists pumped in the air- they got the SOB's in the end didn't they?... :roll:

Some people around the world want to criticize Americans for being aggressive, but look at your country's history to see if you appreciated this aggressiveness at a point in history. Fancy speaking Japanese? Russian? German?

The Iraq war was wrong. But these jihadists attacked NYC and we will respond. Let them shake their fists. They declared war on the US. How is that working for them? Americans are not in a panic. We will fight this until it ends.

I am a little put out by this criticism of the US.

The parents of the two Chechen bombers claim their sons had been trapped by CIA agents.
