I said I thought this seemed like it was a professional terrorist attack at the time, and my opinion was dismissed and ridiculed. Well, looks like I was right after all.

Evidence Suggested Tsarnaev Brothers Did Not Act Alone

Specific evidence has led federal officials to believe that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev did not act alone in planning the Boston Marathon attacks, according to arguments submitted Wednesday by the US Attorney’s office.

At least eight clues led investigators to this conclusion, including the “sophisticated” nature of the bombs that were built that “would have been difficult for the Tsarnaevs to fabricate successfully without training or assistance from others.” Also, no traces of crushed black powder from fireworks needed for the devices were found in any location linked to the Tsarnaevs, indicating they may not have built it themselves.

Behavior by the Tsarnaevs, including using temporary phones, and planning another large-scale attack in New York City, also indicated the brothers did not act alone, according to prosecutors.

These details suggest, “others might have radicalized them, directed them, trained them, assisted them, and/or concealed them; and that these others might be planning or poised to carry out additional attacks,” the report stated.
