Who set up Tsarnaev brothers?
06.05.2013 
Investigation of the terrorist attack in Boston that took place on April 15th 
during the marathon continues in the United States. U.S. intelligence agencies 
still do not fully understand the motives of Tsarnaev brothers suspected of the 
two bombings that killed three people and injured 260. In addition, it remains 
unclear whether the terrorists had accomplices.

Did they belong to any international terrorist organizations or did they act 
independently? So far this complicated case has more questions than answers. On 
April 16th at least four versions of what has happened in the media appeared. 
The first version assumed that the attack was carried out by radical Islamists. 
Observers do not rule out the possibility that the Al-Qaeda group could be 
directly related to the attack.

According to the second version, the attack could be organized by members of 
anti-government extremist organizations. The third version suggested that 
structures close to the government could be behind the explosions in Boston. 
According to the fourth version, the attack was carried by a mentally ill 
loner.   On April 20th in Massachusetts police arrested 19-year-old Dzhokhar 
Tsarnaev, a suspect in the bombings in Boston. A day earlier his brother 
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed by police in a shootout. However, U.S. 
intelligence agencies faced a difficult job to investigate the terrorist 
attacks in Boston that reminded people of the United States of the tragic 
events of September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington.

A few days ago, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security 
Michael McCaul suggested that Tsarnaev brothers had an instructor who helped 
them to make explosive devices. In this case, it is unclear whether this was an 
instructor in Chechnya or in the U.S., he said. Now the FBI is checking on the 
activities of several individuals from the inner circles of Tsarnaev brothers. 
Intelligence agencies suggested that the mother of the brothers Zubeidat 
Tsarnaeva may have prompted them to commit crimes.

Tsarnaeva denies links with extremists. "I'm tired of the absurd statements 
about me and my children. People know that I am an ordinary person, I never had 
any criminal intent, especially links with terrorism," she was quoted by "Voice 
of America".

At the same time, the Western media revealed some interesting details of the 
investigation that could shed light on the organization of the terrorist attack 
in Boston. It turns out that two years ago, the elder brother Tamerlan was 
questioned by the FBI, but nothing suspicious was found in his activity. In 
addition, a warning of his possible connection with radical Islamists was 
received from the FSB as reported by media referring to the sources in law 
enforcement agencies. It is assumed that Tamerlan, like his brother Dzhokhar, 
intended to get U.S. citizenship. Recently, the Russian special services 
delivered to their American counterparts phone records of Zubeidat Tsarnaeva 
where she spoke to her son and mentioned jihad. A number of publications 
mentioned the name of "Imam Misha," an American of Armenian descent who 
allegedly pushed Tamerlane toward Islamism.

However, no evidence of his involvement in the case of the terrorist attacks in 
Boston was found. Not everyone believes the official version of the U.S. 
authorities. President of the association of veterans of antiterrorist unit 
"Alfa" Alexei Filatov talked to Pravda.ru about the tragedy and who may be 
guilty of it.

"I judge Tsarnaev brothers based on what we know about their lives - where they 
lived, how they lived, what their aspirations were, what their family and 
friends, those with whom they studied, their teachers said about them. This act 
does not fit the picture. It is very hard, nearly impossible to explain why 
they did it. The guess of some experts, including those in the U.S., that it 
was a dormant unit of radical Muslims does not fit the picture. First, these 
people did not really live in the Caucasus. They come from Kyrgyzstan, spent a 
year in Makhachkala, and at an early age came to the U.S. No practical or 
physical contacts have been noticed. The fact that one brother went to 
Makhachkala, was allegedly in Chechnya ... It is unclear whether he was there 
doing construction work, or, like his father said, slept until 12pm, and then 
hung out with his friends ... I do not believe that at that time he was made a 
"dormant unit," summed up Alexei Filatov.

For nearly 12 years they have been no terrorist attacks in the U.S. Ordinary 
Americans began to wonder: "Why do soldiers die in Afghanistan, Iraq or 
anywhere else, if nothing happens, why not withdraw the troops?"

According to Filatov, it is quite possible that this way the authorities could 
"explain" this military presence. "They (Tsarnavev brothers - Ed.) have been 
involved in this situation, and we will not speak of their role. In this 
situation they are not accidental spectators of the marathon. Work was 
conducted with them, and I'm sure that the only motive was money. They were 
offered money for playing a role. Later, I believe, they were simply used and 
framed. The older brother who possessed the information was simply destroyed so 
no one could straighten things out," said Filatov.

"And now we have two radicals with unclear motives and unclear objectives. And 
now it will beautifully transform in a pretty wrapping for the American 
society. Politicians - the White House, Barack Obama, even Republicans, who are 
now in the opposition - will derive their political dividends," said Alexei 
Filatov.
