Analysis: Sleeper Cell in America?

April 24, 2013

Capping off a week of misinformation, confusion, contradiction, and error from the media and law enforcement, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino insisted Sunday that the Boston Marathon jihad bombers acted alone, even as it was becoming increasingly obvious that they did not. The UK's Mirror reported on the same day that "the FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist 'sleeper cell' linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers." And so the jihad in Boston widens to proportions that are as yet impossible to calculate – as are the potential casualty rates.

The Mirror added: "Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack" and quoted an unnamed source saying: "We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google. They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come."
