All sorts of details are still unresolved, such as the other guys on scene with backpacks that were identical to the ones used in the bombing, the pre-announcement of a bomb drill, the murder of a witness, the previous warnings from the Russian FSB about the older brother, the details of the previous longstanding FBI relationship with the older brother, and other strange circumstances.
Go back and look at the video. Does that look like a backpack stuffed with 30 lbs. of pressure cooker and explosives that he's carrying?
Something stinks to high heaven about this case.
