Will Uncle Ruslan testify under oath about his "loser" nephews?

"Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, erupted in fury Friday over his nephews' alleged role in the Boston Marathon bombings, telling a local television station that the suspects 'do not deserve to live on this earth.'"

Did Ruslan ever work for the CIA?

from what little I ws able to listen to, I came away with there is still a problem with intelligence sharing.

 

[georgephillip]

Intelligence sharing would seem to pose one level of difficulty, but, if it's true, one intelligence branch (CIA) has a habit of shutting down the investigations of a second intelligence agency (FBI) then the extent of the problem becomes much greater.

Dragnet out for Tsarnaev cohorts...

Boston Bombing Suspect's Contacts With Chechens in US
May 15, 2013 WASHINGTON — Federal investigators have learned that the main suspect in last month’s Boston Marathon bombing met with an exiled former Chechen resistance fighter in Manchester, New Hampshire less than a month before carrying out the attack that killed three and wounded more than 260.

Police in Manchester confirmed to VOA that FBI agents have searched the home of the former Chechen resistance figure, Musa Khadjimuradov, and examined the hard drives of his computers. Khadjimuradov confirmed to VOA that FBI agents came to his home on Tuesday with search warrants and also took a sample of his DNA and impressions of his fingerprints.

Khadjimuradov also said he had had repeated contacts over the past several years with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the Boston bombing suspect who was killed in a shootout with police April 19. Tsarnaev’s brother, Dzhokhar, 19, was captured by police later that day. Police charged both Tsarnaev brothers in the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing case after identifying them on video tapes taken at the explosion sites near the finish line of the race. According to Khadjimuradov, the FBI first interviewed him about the case on April 29. He said FBI and Homeland Security agents had been in frequent contact with him ever since.

Tuesday’s FBI visit

He said the agents showed up on Tuesday with search warrants and began asking him about Tamerlan Tsarnaev practicing marksmanship at a Manchester shooting range (Manchester Firing Line Range, LLC.), and buying large quantities of fireworks last February at a fireworks store in Seabook, New Hampshire, about an hour’s drive away from Manchester. The FBI has said its tests on the Boston bombing debris determined that the devices used explosives extracted from commercially available fireworks. According to the FBI, Tsarnaev bought $200 fireworks kit at the Seabrook store last Feb. 6, containing 24 black powder packed shells. The FBI report said the store gave him another similar kit for free as a purchase bonus. “They [the FBI agents] saying he [Tsarnaev] has a shooting practice here in New Hampshire, like two or three times,” Khadjimuradov said. “So he buy fireworks here from New Hampshire, you know, and he buy some ammunition rounds here in New Hampshire. And before the attack, like three or four weeks, came to my house, so now I believe they thinking like he [was] up in New Hampshire [and] like I tried to help him or do something, you know, like that.”

Khadjimuradov came to the United States from Chechnya in 2004 under the auspices of the United Nations refugee program. He is paralyzed from the waist down from gunshot wounds suffered in Chechnya in 2001 and uses a wheelchair to get around. According to Khadjimuradov, he first met Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2006 at the annual gathering of the Chechen Society of Boston. He said Tsarnaev subsequently visited him three times in Manchester, the last time with his American wife, Katherine, and their young child. He said he and Tamerlan never discussed Tsarnaev’s fervent embrace of Islam, the cause of Chechen independence from Russia or politics of any kind. “Nothing, never. He never talked about the religious, politics or anything like that to me,” Khadjimuradov said.

Russia’s interest in the case

So how much of what we see or hear on the internet lends itself to improving our understanding of why terrorists like the Tsarnaev brothers resorted to pressure cookers in Boston? Some are suggesting that politics in Central Asia have become more important to maintaining the US Empire than the Arab Spring in the Middle East:

"In my latest interview for Boiling Frogs Post EyeOpener Report (See here) I emphasized the role of the CIA rather than the FBI in evaluating the Boston Terror incident. Why? Because: 1-the suspects 100% fit the CIA recruitment profile; 2-The region being central to the CIA covert operations since the 1990s; 3- The suspect’s travel to the region (not the FBI MO but the CIA); 4- The classic occurrence of the FBI closing the case per CIA request and pressure …"

Number 4 has been coming up since 911.
If the CIA can effectively close FBI terrorism investigations, maybe it's time to follow the money?
