FBI Interviewed Boston Bomber in 2011
Reuters reports the FBI interviewed the elder of the two Boston bombing suspects in 2011 at the request of a foreign government.
The man was questioned at Russia's request, according to DEBKAfile, because of his suspected ties to Islamist terrorism in the Caucasus.
CBS News observes:
This is an issue [the FBI has] had in the past. They interviewed Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, Ark., before he shot up an Army recruiting station in 2009. They were also looking into Major Hasan Nadal before the Fort Hood shootings.
However, the FBI has maintained in those incidents that they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law.Understanding how these men were able to carry out their attacks--even after coming to the attention of federal law enforcement authorities--is critically important. In fact, it is essential if future mass casualty attacks on American soil are to be prevented.

Second Boston Bomber Captured Alive
Incredible End to World's First Crowd-Sourced, High-Tech Manhunt
The long nightmare is over.
Slain Boston Bombing Suspect Backed Jihad
VIRTUAL BLACKOUT BY TV NETWORKS ON ISLAMIST LINK
As of this writing, Boston is paralyzed. Two terrorists have shown the world what evil can be done with homemade and readily available weapons. Two individuals have brought Mumbai-style terrorism to Boston, Massachusetts.
This just in: the 19-year-old man on the run, who was brought to the United States at age 9, it is believed, became a naturalized citizen on September 11, 2012. He lived among Americans, acted like an American, studied and dressed like an American, acquired American citizenship--and somehow set out to slaughter and maim Americans.
The case makes a mockery of every idiotic liberal notion regarding the "root causes" of terrorism and what can be done to combat and prevent it--from the myth that poverty causes terrorism to the power of cultural exchanges and higher education to socialize and acculturate young men and women from backward countries plagued by Islamism/Islamic extremism in order to effectively integrate them into Western societies.
