They blame that on NBC, linking to the NBC front page - the translation says:

MOSCOW, April 19 - RIA Novosti. Tsarnaevy brothers, who are suspected of committing a terrorist attack during the Boston Marathon , are citizens of Turkey and entered the United States on a Turkish visa, according to TV channel NBC .

According to the TV, who was killed in a special operation Tamerlane Tsarnaev obtained a residence permit in the U.S. in 2007.

But NBC is certainly not saying anything remotely like that. We know they entered earlier, and from Dagestan (ie part of Russia). No-one was "furnishing them with passports" in the strange sense you seem to mean - they had Kyrgyz passports because they'd lived there for several years.

Interesting! As I said, hadn't heard about a female -- also hadn't noticed a woman gateley Apr 2013 #11
