From day one many of us have been saying this was NOT a one or two person operation.  There’s just too much in putting something like this together for two independent people.  They needed support of varying degrees.  Now it is claimed the FBI is reportedly looking for as many as 12 sleeper cell terror driven agents…..

(Daily Mirror)  The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to  the Boston  marathon bomb brothers.

Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry  out the devastating attack.

More than 1,000 FBI agents were last night working to track down the cell and  arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s  dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.

A source close to the investigation said: “We have no doubt the brothers were  not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly  sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.

“They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now  our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to  a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come.”

A specialist team of CIA and FBI interrogators was yesterday flown to a  Boston hospital to grill wounded Dzhokhar, 19, about the secret group. The  University of Massachusetts student was caught on Friday after hiding out in a  boat parked in a garden in locked down Watertown the day after a gun battle with  police left his 26-year-old brother and a rookie cop dead.

Dzhokhar is said to have run his brother over as he escaped in a stolen car  while Tamerlan lay handcuffed on the ground. They were carrying six bombs with  them at the time, three of which ­exploded, as well as a handgun and rifle.  The devices were thought to be pipe bombs.

Last night Dzhokhar – badly wounded but alive – lay handcuffed to his  hospital bed under armed guard. The other three arrested in the port of New  Bedford are also believed to be of college age.  (read more)
