BOSTON – Law enforcement sources tell ABC News that the Boston Marathon bombings suspect is awake and has been responding sporadically in writing to questions.

Officials say they have been asking about other cell members and other unexploded bombs. Details on any answers given have not been released.

A senior law enforcement official also told ABC News that FBI negotiators tried for roughly 20 to 25 minutes to convince suspect number two, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, to give himself up. Officials say there was a verbal exchange between them and the suspect, and then the 19-year-old eventually fell out of the boat. (more…)

The progs are going to go “all in” to defend their Tsarnaev boys. As Pam Geller has clearly and accurately outlined, it is not “radical Islam”, they were practicing “Authentic Islam”.

The Prog-left does not want anyone to talk about the TRUTH of the ideology behind the attacks in Boston. These are “their people”… (more…)

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. (more…)

Originally published 4 days ago in the New York Post – Definitely worth a read:

New York Post – Somewhere near Boston early Monday morning, he packed a bomb in a bag. It was by all accounts relatively crude — a pressure cooker, explosives, some wires, ball bearings and nails . . . nails which, hours later, doctors would struggle to remove from the flesh of bleeding victims.

His motive is unclear. His intent is not: It was to maximize injury, suffering, pain, trauma and, yes, death.

Perhaps Monday’s bomber will be caught, perhaps not.

Perhaps Monday’s bomber will be offered a teaching job at Columbia University. (more…)

“Why”?  Apparently, Mr. Moore is having a difficult time figuring it out.   Let’s help him: (more…)

MARK STEYN – On Rush Limbaugh’s Friday program, fill-in host Mark Steyn reminded listeners  of Limbaugh’s Tuesday comments  predicting the media would “circle the wagons” for Islam if it turned out  that the suspects in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing Muslims, saying that the  prediction will come true.

As it turned out, the suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were  indeed Muslims, and Steyn, author of  “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” said the media wagon-circling would begin “any moment now.” (more…)

BOSTON – Shortly before authorities arrested Boston Marathon bombings suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Watertown Friday night, the FBI took into custody three others in connection to their investigation.

Two women and one man, both of whom appeared to be college-aged, were apprehended for questioning from the Hidden Brook Apartments on Carriage Drive in New Bedford, several news outlets reported.

The FBI has not released the names of those in custody. (more…)

Rush Limbaugh did play the role of Captain Obvious earlier in the week and say the media would circle the wagons behind the killers if they are leftists.    Duh!

It’s much easier for the progressive media to find compassion for a man who killed 4 including a child, injured almost 200, blown the limbs of dozens of people, if the killer is a left-wing ideologue and Islamist to boot.  [Via Dan Riehl]

Had these been conservative, or Tea Party attributed killers, the media would hold no such sympathy.    Sickening, left-wing media bias…….. just sickening.

IT’S OVER
