Boston Police Radio: Additional Explosive Devices Found...
The official story is now in chaos...
April 17, 2013

A caller to the Alex Jones Show pointed us to an audio of police responding to the additional devices discovered in Boston during the bombing on April 15.

“There’s devices… definitely devices here,” a voice in the background of the audio says between 17 and 25 seconds into the video below.

“Get off the radio, I want the channel clear,” another voice says at 30 seconds.

On April 16, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and officialdom stated no additional explosive devices were found on the scene of the Boston Marathon.

Is this the second Boston bomb just moments before it exploded?
UK Daily Mail April 17, 2013

New crime scene photographs of the remnants of the first bomb which detonated during Monday’s Boston marathon appear to show that a pressure cooker was used in at least one of the deadly charges – as experts described the devices as military-style ‘anti-personnel’ devices.

The exclusive images obtained show the wreckage of a stainless steel pressure cooker with an Underwriters Laboratory safety mark and an imprint that reads gas or electric, with experts describing the devices as military-style ‘anti-personnel’ devices.

And photographs taken by a member of the public of the second bomb site before and after detonation show an orange and grey bag next to the barrier – right where the bomb appears to have gone off.

Detectives are now investigating the possibility that this bag contained the device that exploded with such devastating effect.






Meanwhile, another photograph from the scene of the terror attacks which killed three people and injured 183 shows a shredded black, padded back-pack or duffel bag that would confirm numerous reports that the bomb was carried in a black bag.

Hotel owner Mark Hagopian said: 'One of the guests had been up on the roof earlier in the day. Immediately after the blast he went back up there and spotted what he thought was a hub cap.


'As it hadn’t been there earlier he thought it could have come from a damaged car, so he picked it up and took it downstairs.


'He handed it to a policeman and thought nothing more of it until the FBI contacted him and hotel manager Curt Butcher on Tuesday evening.


'They met for 35 minutes and the FBI confirmed that it was part of the pressure cooker bomb.'


Hogopian, 50, was hosting a marathon party for 100 people when the first bomb exploded on Monday afternoon.


As guests rushed outside the see what was happening, the second bomb went off just yards from the hotel’s outdoor patio.


'We were knocked off our feet by the blast and all around us there were bodies – seven or eight people missing limbs’ he said.


'There was blood splayed everywhere. It was utter chaos.


'One of the fourth-floor guests went up to the roof to see if he could see what was happening. That’s when he found what he thought was the hubcap.


'He handed it to the cop as everyone was being evacuated – at the time it was feared there were more bombs set to go off.

'Now it turns out that piece of metal is a big piece of the evidence. Apparently, forensics should be able to get many more clues from that.


'The FBI also took away video and photos the guest had taken. They are scouring those for further evidence.'




New crime scene photographs of the remnants of the first bomb which detonated during Monday's Boston marathon shows that a six-liter pressure cooker was used in at least one of the deadly charges - as experts described the devices as military-style 'anti-personnel' devices.

The images - released by the Joint Terrorist Task Force - show the wreckage of a stainless steel pressure cooker with an Underwriters Laboratory safety mark and an imprint that reads gas or electric, with experts describing the devices as military-style 'anti-personnel' devices.

Furthermore, it is being claimed the deadly devices used were designed to act like 'homemade claymores' - powerful, directional anti-personnel devices.

Described as using a 'low explosive', most likely black or smokeless powder, the bombs are reported to have exploded outwards with shrapnel at 3,300 feet per second. The lid of a pressure cooker was found on a nearby rooftop and investigators were able to pinpoint which type of cooker was used.

One brand of pressure cooker with '6L' on the bottom is made by the Spanish company Fagor, which sells about 50,000 of the six-liter pots in the United States every year, according to the New York Times.

Investigators will use every clue, from the cooker's manufacturer and retailers to the types of nails used in the shrapnel, to try and find out from where the bomb parts were purchased and by whom.


Roy Parker, a retired Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agent who *developed the agency’s explosives training program, said examiners are looking at scraps of the bomb components, bags and all other forensic evidence.

He said: 'You’re looking for a needle in a haystack, but the needle is there. If you look long enough, you’ll get stuck with it. This is not an unsolvable crime.'

The bombs had the power to propel metal shards great distances, designed primarily to maim - like a military 'claymore' device.


The resulting explosions sent metal tearing through skin and muscle, destroying the lower limbs of some victims who had only shreds of tissue holding parts of their legs together when they arrived at the emergency room of Massachusetts General Hospital, doctors there said.






Initial examination of the bombs revealed they appeared to utilize battery packs and circuit boards, which indicates a sophisticated triggering mechanism with an 'egg-like' timer.


'It appeared to be built from scratch but with a sophisticated triggering mechanism. And frankly, at the end of the day, all bombs are crude devices, and it is the way they are triggered that can be sophisticated,' said one official with strong knowledge of explosives. 'They functioned as designed.'


Low quality explosive ingredients may have been the bombs’ key components, according to an unnamed expert quoted by CNN. That would explain the yellowness of the flame, as shown in video and photos of the event.

Higher-quality military explosive is usually gray or black, said the expert.

Photographs taken by a member of the public of the second bomb site before and after detonation show an orange and grey bag next to the barrier - right where the bomb appears to have gone off.

Detectives are now investigating the possibility that this bag contained the device that exploded with such devastating effect.

However images and fabrics from the remains of the bomb shows they were kept in black nylon duffel bags so it is as yet unclear if the bomb was in the gray and orange bag.

Vigils were held overnight as hundreds of people gathered to remember the victims, the third of whom was named yesterday as Chinese Boston University studentLü Lingzi.

Lingzi was attending the Boston marathon with her friend Zhou Danling, a student of actuarial science at BU, who was originally said to be in a coma at Boston Medical Center but showing signs of improvement after suffering serious injuries in the blast.

The other two fatalities in the bombing have been identified as eight-year-old Martin Richard, the son of a Dorchester community activist, and 29-year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell.

A five-year-old boy is still critically injured at Boston medical center.

A law enforcement official told CBS News that the two bombs that exploded were made to look like discarded property.


Earlier in the day, lead FBI agent Richard DesLauriers confirmed that items from the first blast have been recovered and are being sent to a special facility at FBI headquarters in Quantico for study - in the hope that they will lead them to the killer or killers.

He also admitted the investigation into those responsible was in its 'infancy' and that the range of suspects remained 'wide open'.

More than 2,000 tips from the public were reviewed and analyzed in the first 24 hours but no individual or group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. The FBI has issued a plea to members of the public for help in the hunt for clues saying: 'Someone knows who did this'.


He said among those items were 'pieces of black nylon which could be from a backpack and fragments of BBs (ball bearings) and nails possibly contained in a pressure cooker device.


'The bag would have been heavy because of the components believed to be in it. We won't know with certainty until the laboratory completes its final review.'

The second device was also housed in a metal container says the document, but so far there is not enough evidence to confirm for certain if a pressure cooker was also used.

'Someone knows who did this,' added Richard DesLauriers, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston office.


'Importantly, the person who did this is someone’s friend, neighbor, coworker or relative. We are asking anyone who may have heard someone speak about the marathon, or the date of April 15, in any way that indicated that he or she may have targeted this event to call us.'

DesLauriers added: 'At this time, there have been no claims of responsibility.'

Saying that the bomber or bombers most likely dropped the bags easily amongst the commotion during the race, Rossini said that the FBI will be looking to the remnants of the bags to lead them to the killers.

Rossini, however, cautioned against jumping to any conclusions that the bombing was the result of Islamic-inspired terrorism. 'It could be a white supremacist group. We just don’t know.'

The bombs used to kill and maim are believed to have contained black powder or gunpowder as the explosive, and information on how to make such a bomb is available on the internet, experts said. The devices were then left at the scene to look like discarded property, CBS News reported.


Investigators have also found pieces of an electronic circuit board which could indicate a timer was used in the detonation.

Although no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks, similar devices were used in the failed 2010 attempt to bomb Times Square by Faisal Shahzad, who admitted he had undergone bomb-making training at a militant Islamist faction camp in Pakistan.

A pressure-cooker bomb is also a preferred weapon of al-Qaeda and listed as the 'most effective' weapon of jihad, according to an English-language terror magazine called Inspire, in an article entitled 'How to Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom'.

Another article in Inspire last year listed 'the most important enemy targets' for jihadists in America - and included sporting events, CNSNewsnoted.

The aim should be to target 'human crowds in order to inflict maximum human losses,' a terrorist known as Abu Musab al-Suri wrote. 'This is very easy since there are numerous such targets such as crowded sports arenas, annual social events, large international exhibitions… etc.'


If a pressure cooker was used, it probably cost around $100 to construct, say former federal forensic and explosive investigators. It's like a pipe bomb but bigger and more powerful.

Also on Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said there is no sign the explosions in Boston were part of a 'broader plot,' but her department is still being cautious.


'While there is no current indication to suggest that the events in Boston are indicative of a broader plot.


'Out of an abundance of caution,' she added, 'DHS continues to keep in place enhanced security measures at transportation hubs, utilizing measures both seen and unseen.'

Looters steal jackets from Boston Marathon as victims lay injured

April 17, 2013 by Janeen Capizola

It may take you a moment to process what you’re seeing on the following video, but it can only be described as humanity at its worst.

The video, which is making its way around the Internet, shows looters taking jackets from a marathon kiosk after Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings.

While the news reporters describe the chaos and destruction of the bombing scene, people are seen digging through boxes of marathon jackets, checking sizes, and tucking their new free, albeit stolen, merchandise under their arms and walking away.

It’s particularly noteworthy to read the description posted with this YouTube video:

Several Youtube viewers wrote comments suggesting that the alleged looters were simply volunteers helping to distribute the jackets.

However, other attendants to the marathon pointed out that every volunteer at the race was required to wear a neon yellow/green jacket along with a lanyard. Police officers, emergency medical technicians and firefighters on the scene were also required to wear a yellow/green vest. A number of people in the video can be seen carefully examining the sizes of jackets.

Even if these people had no idea in this era of cell phones and texting that two bombs just exploded at the finish line, they are still stealing.

God save this country.

Watch these callous people looting at the Boston Marathon: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4d6_1366073888

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been neutered by Barack Obama, with thousands of illegal alien criminals released, and ICE being ordered to delay and cancel deportations left and right. But there is one foreign national that Obama seems to want to deport ASAP. Multiple sources are reporting that Abdul Rahman Ali al-Harbi, the Saudi "person of interest" from the Boston bombing had his student visa revoked and is being DEPORTED next week on "national security grounds" - specifically Section 212 3B – “Security and related grounds” – “Terrorist activities”.

Reuters also reported last night that Obama and the Saudi Foreign Minister had an unscheduled White House meeting.
What's the rush? Why is the deportation order being "classified"?

Why is Obama Deporting Boston Bombing ‘Person of Interest’ After Meeting with Saudi Minister?
By John Hill on April 18, 2013

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been neutered by Barack Obama. He has forced them to release thousands of illegal alien criminals over the past four years – resulting in hundreds of crimes including 19 murders and 142 rapes. The ICE Union president has reported on how they have been told to delay and cancel deportations en masse.

But there is one foreign national that Obama seems to want to deport ASAP.

An expert on terrorism says the Saudi national here on a student visa who was the original “person of interest” in connection with Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing is going to be deported from the U.S. next week.

The foreign student from Revere, Mass., is identified as 20-year-old Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi.

“I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday, which is very unusual,” Steve Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism told Sean Hannity of Fox News Wednesday night.

Why suddenly is al-Harbi being sent out of the country as the terror investigation is yet, ongoing?

On Wednesday evening, Reuters reported that President Obama held an meeting this afternoon with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House. The meeting was not on the public schedule.

We also learned yesterday that Secretary of State John Kerry had met with the same minister on Tuesday, and the meeting was abruptly closed to the media.

Why is he being rushed out of the country, despite revelations that his family has ties to terrorists, including some currently detained at Gitmo?

Does this special treatment have anything to do with the fact that al-Harbi is part of a powerful Saudi family? ICE sources have reported that the deportation was set to be framed as a “voluntary” departure to be with his family.

UPDATE: Glenn Beck broke the news this morning that al-Harbi had his student visa revoked, and is in fact being deported under section 212 3B – “Security and related grounds” – “Terrorist activities”.

An FBI source has told TheBlaze that the Saudi Student was “taken into custody”. This means, when we he was reported as a person of interest, he was actually a suspect the entire time.

An “event”, or file, was created on the student three days ago. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is section 212 3B –”Security and related grounds” – “Terrorist activities”. The student’s visa has been revoked.

The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not precautionary, it was listed as “orders.” The file was immediately classified. Sources are telling TheBlaze the deportation order will be classified as well – requiring a FOIA to access it.

One agent told TheBlaze he believes a “voluntary” departure has been signed – that means the Saudi student could be out of the country as early as today. While the official story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” the student was actually being deported.

TheBlaze has been told that by a source that this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime, so the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”

One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family.

Unlike Oklahoma City, the FBI cannot confiscate all of the surveillance, cell phone, and thousands of cameras that were at the finish line of Boston Marathon. 4Chan posted dozens of photos showing Navy Seal or Private Security personnel carrying the same black back packs which are the same style backpacks showed in FBI photos. It’s becoming crystal clear. Get these articles and this video out to everyone you know.

Did you ever think that maybe that their “drill” was looking for the bombs because they found out they were there but didn’t want to freak everyone out? There was another bomb found so maybe they just hadn’t reached those bombs in time? There are reasons for everything. You are a pessimistic man

...

for me too the logical explanation would be that they received a bomb threat or some kind of tip before the event… nobody thinks about… false-flag immediately

One Boston Marathon suspect killed; second suspect, his brother, on loose after firefight

With a bomb strapped to his chest, one of the Boston Marathon suspects was killed early Friday after he and his accomplice brother robbed a 7-Eleven, shot a police officer to death, carjacked an SUV and hurled explosives in an extraordinary firefight with law enforcement, authorities told NBC News.

The second suspect — the one in the white hat in photos released by the FBI — was on the loose, and police ordered people in the Boston suburbs to stay inside and businesses not to open. Boston shut down its buses and subway system for the hunt.

The suspects are Chechen brothers with the last name Tsarnaev, law enforcement officials told NBC News. The suspect at large, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is 19 and has a Massachusetts driver’s license, they said. Law enforcement officials told NBC News that both men are legal permanent residents of the United States, had been here about a year and had military experience.

For all the radical Muslim apologists and those who were hoping the Boston Massacre terrorists were "right wing extremists" --- so sorry to disappoint you.

It has just been confirmed that the terrorists were from Chechenya. Chechenya is a Muslim nation - a breakaway republic of Russia. Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev is the name of the terrorist still at large. His brother is dead.

Boston Terrorist Bomber identified as 19 year old Dzhokar Tsarnaev. The deceased suspect is his 26 year old brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The brothers are originally from Chechnya and have been identified as Muslim. An APB is out for a 1999 Honda CR-V (grey) with license plate 316-ES9.
