Question:
Boston bombers had no outside terrorist ties, really?

"The Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) has become the center of attention since it was discovered that now deceased suspected marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a member of the mosque. ISB is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.

The Islamic Society of Boston was founded in part by Abdurahman Alamoudi in 1981, according to the New YorkSun, and was the first president of the mosque. Alamoudi is currently serving a 23 year sentence in federal prison as he was convicted in 2004 of participating in a Libyan plot to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.
Additionally, according to the Sun, Alamoudi raised funds for Al Qaeda:
In July, Alamoudi was cited in a Treasury Department press release designating the Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia, a U.K.-based Saudi oppositionist organization, led by Saad al-Faqih, as providing material support for Al Qaeda. MIRA "received approximately $1 million in funding through Abdulrahman Alamoudi," the statement said.
"According to information available to the U.S.Government," the statement continues, "the September 2003 arrest of Alamoudi was a severe blow to Al Qaeda, as Alamoudi had a close relationship with Al Qaeda and had raised money for Al Qaeda in the United States." The Treasury Department has declined to provide further information, saying the material is classified."

It's possible. It's also very early on in the investigation. So perhaps more information will come out later. that's pretty normal in this sort of thing. You can be sure people wil continue to look for ties and everything else of interest.

What do you brainwashed idiots think? You don't even know what 'terrorism' or 'America' or anything means. You're nothing but an amalgamation of the news garbage you've indoctrinated yourself with.



You have no information, no perspective, no intelligence and DEFINITELY no ability to judge, speculate or guess a damn thing in the world. So shut up and eat your corn flakes and do something useful.

on the same time as Obama likes to tout his "certainty" that Al Queda has been heavily decreased, the different is definitely actual, with living house grown converted radicals a turning out to be issue. by using management that denies the real risk to electorate, as we observed in London this week, some radicalized "electorate" who originated in different worldwide places have desperate to cut back our worldwide places to the violent hell from whence they got here. there is not any evaluate conversing approximately weapons anymore, that's approximately knives and machetes and bombs made out of nails and ball bearings. Politicians stay in a secure bubble and on the same time as they seem to complication regarding the risk against electorate, they are so distant from it, they only have not got a clue and no concept the thank you to give up the turning out to be violence. Obama's loss of real information on the subject rely of terrorism is the greater beneficial issue yet whats up, he can consistently bang on approximately giving the order to off OBL. I have not have been given any prefer to stay in Chechnya or Nigeria yet curiously the international is coming to us.

I agree with you, I think it seems rather unlikely that these men had no help.



We hear over and over "Islam is a religion of peace," yet a vast majority of the destruction in the world is perpetrated in the name of Allah. Why is that? When we were kids if you could not play nice in the sandbox you were kicked out.

The Boston bomber admitted that they followed Islamic websites.

I wonder how they funded their trips to Russia and got materials to build bombs. They had to get funding from somewhere. The older brother mooched off his wife and the younger brother was in college.

Amazing how your source knows so much more, than the FBI, & CIA... I'll openly admit, the FBI & CIA, like having securits... As do those, that like the military tribunals... When it takes place, in public court system... That's when the whole truth, will ultimately be told... The major thing is, ones dead, & the other is in custody... We didn't see these kinds of results, with "W"...

According to the Obama administration, yes, they DID . . . AND they didn't.
