FBI blocks release of Tsarnaev associate autopsy photos
Of the past couple of months we have reported about the strange death of Ibragim Todashev. Todashev, who allegedly was about to confess to participating in a triple murder with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was shot 6 times and killed by FBI agents during an interview in his apartment. We reported that there are conflicting reports as to whether or not Todashev was armed and that his girlfriend was suddenly and quietly arrested and deported after the incident. Now, the FBI is blocking the Orlando medical examiner’s office from releasing the results of an autopsy performed on Todashev. According to the Boston Globe the FBI wants the results held pending an internal investigation into the shooting. They say that this happens most commonly in homicides, so it evidently isn’t an unheard of occurrence.
I don’t know what to think about this one. The whole thing gets more and more suspicious every time a new detail comes out. However, at the same time CAIR is calling on the DOJ to investigate the shooting. According to the Islamist apologist and propaganda group who is a Muslim Brotherhood proxy :
The council said in a letter to the Department of Justice, which oversees the FBI and is participating in the internal inquiry, that FBI agents had approached Todashev in an aggressive manner. In one instance, the council said, six law enforcement agents drew their guns and pushed Todashev to the ground.
Considering how ingrained CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood have become into the government, if this shooting had been part of a cover-up they probably would have remained silent. Then again I suppose it would have been suspicious if they hadn’t taken action so it could be a false flag. Don’t you love living in a world where you can’t trust anyone in power and every single event is part of plots within plots within plots?

FBI Director Mueller’s Bizarre Statement and Seven Unanswered Questions about the Boston Marathon Bombings
Today, Josh Gerstein of Politico observed that while testifying during the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev ‘came to the attention of the FBI on at least two occasions prior to a Russian government warning in March 2011 that said he appeared to be radicalizing.’In response to questions from Rep. Steve King, Mueller stated,‘His name had come up in two other cases…Those two other cases, the individuals had their cases closed. So, he was one or two person [sic] away.’An anonymous FBI agent told Politico that the cases were ‘not related to terrorism.’ So what were those cases? One would think that if Tamerlan was on the FBI’s radar prior to the Russian warning in 2011, the cases would have been significant considering that they were not being handled at a local level.Regarding the Russian government warning about Tamerlan, Mueller said that the agent who conducted the investigation did an ‘excellent job.’He further said,“He did all the records checks. He went out to the interview persons at the college where Tamerlan was there for a period of time, ultimately interviewed the parents, interviewed Tamerlan himself, sent the information back to Russia. And on three separate occasions we asked the Russians for additional information that might give us indications or evidence that he was a terrorist.”As an aside, the New York Times reported that the Russian warning was prompted by ‘intercepted phone calls’ which ‘mentioned jihad.’Mueller continued to say that there was not much else that could have been done to investigate the elder Tsarnaev brother at the time without violating the law. At that point, Rep. King replied that the local police could have investigated the Massachusetts mosque (since the FBI is apparently not authorized to investigate mosques) attended by the Tsarnaev brothers, which is now known to have strong ties to terrorism.There are some very serious unanswered questions in relation to the Boston bombing.1.) Why did the FBI stop investigating Tamerlan?The New York Times reported that Tamerlan was ‘entered into two different United States government watch lists in late 2011 that were designed to alert the authorities if he traveled overseas.’ Considering that the Russian government specifically warned the United States that Tamerlan ‘planned to travel to Russia to meet with underground groups,’ one would think they may have taken his 6 month trip in 2012 seriously. There is a great discussion on this point on Hot Air.2.) Why did the FBI make a public appeal to find the Boston Bombers?If they already had Tamerlan Tsarnaev on their radar from previous communications with him, why did the FBI have to appeal to the American people to identify the brothers on national television?There is an interesting (and creepy) discussion about facial recognition software by Hiawatha Bray of the Boston Globe which suggests that the technology may not have been able to recognize the photos released by the FBI, but the real question is: Did the FBI attempt to use facial recognition software before they appealed to the public?Speaking of facial recognition software, Sean Gallagher of ARS technica writes,‘The Department of Homeland Security paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to state and local governments to build facial recognition databases—pulling photos from drivers’ licenses and other identification to create a massive library of residents, all in the name of anti-terrorism.’3.) Why did the Boston Police seemingly ignore specific intelligence that the Boston Marathon Finish Line may be a target?Despite repeated assurances that there was no intelligence leading up to the Boston bombing, there actually was an 18-page, taxpayer-funded report that ‘identified the finish line of the race as an area of increased vulnerability and warned Boston police that extremists may use small scale bombings to attack spectators and runners at the event,’ as reported by the LA Times. The report did note that there was no ‘specific’ threat identified, but since the FBI never informed the Boston police that Tamerlan was investigated, it is not a stretch to think the Boston police may have been on the lookout for the radicalized brothers.4.) How did Dzhokhar Tsarnaev escape the gun battle that killed his brother, Tamerlan?Considering that martial law was imposed on the entire city of Boston (which continues to be an extremely troubling fact), how is it that 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to escape during the initial battle that killed his brother, Tamerlan? It is one of those of those things that just doesn’t sit right. The 19-year-old was being hunted by the entire police force, who do not even need to worry about injuring innocent bystanders (since they were all in lockdown). The teen was spotted and yes, a gun battle ensued, but with helicopters, ‘police, National Guard, SWAT teams…‘ all swarming the area (not to mention the technology that captured the Dzhokhar in the boat), how is it possible that this teen escaped?5.) Did Dzhokhar Tsarnaev flee on foot or by car? Did he run over his brother with a car?There have been conflicting reports of whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fled the gun battle scene by car or on foot.Consider:- Col. Timothy Alben of the Massachusetts state police, for example, specifically stated that Dzhokhar “fled on foot…” Why would he say that?
- The New York Times, however, reported that Dzhokhar ‘…climbed back into the car and drove off, apparently hitting his older brother.’
Where is the car now? After Tamerlan Tsarnaev was pronounced dead, Dr. Richard Wolfe, head of emergency medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said ‘I certainly did not see any tire marks or the usual things we see with someone run over by a car,’ as reported by the Boston Herald.6.) Why did the FBI interview the Saudi National, Abdulrahman al-Harbi?As reported by Tavern Keepers, the original person of interest in the Boston marathon bombing, Abdulrahman al-Harbi, was widely reported to have been ‘tackled’ after a citizen noticed suspicious behavior.It turns out that the Saudi National was never tackled. al-Harbi told The Islamic Monthly:No, no one arrested me, no one tackled me, no. All the people were trying to escape from what happened because they realized that there was something dangerous in the finish line.So why did he come to the attention of the FBI in the first place? And frankly, why am I the only one asking this question?Larry Celona of the New York Post wrote:The sources said that, after the man was grabbed by police, he smelled of gunpowder and declared, ‘I thought there would be a second bomb.’He also asked: “Did anyone die?”Well, geez, that seems quite specific! Were Celona’s ‘sources’ (i.e., more than one) making it up?Also, John Miller of CBS specifically reported:A civilian who thought he was acting suspiciously chased him down and tackled him and then turned him over to Boston police, saying, I saw this guy hanging around over there acting suspiciously.Where are these sources now?7.) Why did the FBI kill Ibragim Todashev?As reported by Tavern Keepers, Ibragim Todashev was reportedly a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He was killed by the FBI during an interview where he was reportedly about to sign a written confession to a 2011 murder. According to several news sources, Todashev implicated himself and Tamerlan in the unsolved 2011 gruesome murders of Brendan Mess, Erik Weissman, and Raphael Taken before he was killed by law enforcement.Initially, it was reported that he had a knife and lunged at agents. But, that story was changed later. Todashev had no knife. What happened? Was the interview recorded? A good discussion of this point can be found at The Atlantic.Image Source (first two): mirror.co.ukImage Source (last): theatlantic......................................

FBI shooting and helicopters
Ibragim Todashev, an Orlando, Fla., associate of one of the Boston bombing suspects, was not armed when he was involved an alleged violent confrontation with an FBI agent that resulted in Todashev being shot to death in his apartment, law enforcement sources told ABC News.The FBI, along with two members of the Massachusetts State Police, was interviewing Todashev during the early morning hours of May 22 when the alleged confrontation took place.Todashev was a trained mixed martial arts fighter. The FBI agent sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the incident.Just before the deadly confrontation took place, Todashev, law enforcement source said, allegedly was preparing to sign a statement confessing his involvement in a 2011 triple murder in Massachusetts.One law enforcement official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said Wednesday that Todashev lunged at the agent and overturned a table. But the official said Todashev did not have a gun or a knife. A second official also said Todashev was unarmed.An official said that according to one account of the shooting, the other law enforcement officials had just stepped out of the room, leaving the FBI agent alone with Todashev, when the confrontation occurred.The shooting followed hours of questioning by the law enforcement officials that had begun the night before.Todashev’s father said after the shooting that he didn’t believe the FBI’s account of why they killed his son.“My son could never commit a crime, I know my son too well,” Abdul-Baki Todashev, who lives in Chechnya, told the Daily Beast Web site. “He worked helping disabled people in America and did sports, coached other sportsmen. The FBI made up their accusations.”Todashev, a martial arts fighter, met Tamerlan Tsarnaev in fighting circles in Boston before Todashev moved to Orlando.A U.S. government official briefed on the FBI investigation told CNN in May that Todashev had agreed to talk to authorities and noted he was never arrested or handcuffed.After one of the detectives left the room, the other noticed Todashev was acting odd, and he texted that sense to the FBI agent with him — the U.S. official told CNN. Those two law enforcement officials were the only ones with Todashev, according to this account.Suddenly, Todashev knocked over a table — knocking the FBI agent back into a wall — and came at him with some sort of “long-handled object” that he’d grabbed from behind him, according to the official.The agent fired a few rounds, but Todashev kept on coming, the official said. He finally stopped after yet more gunshots.A law enforcement official told CNN that Todashev attacked the FBI agent with a broom handle, not a sword.Then, it appears the stories are not connnected, butTwo members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit died Friday while practicing how to quickly drop from a helicopter to a ship using a rope, the FBI announced Monday in a statement.The statement gave few details regarding the deaths of Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw, other than to say the helicopter encountered unspecified difficulties and the agents fell a “significant distance.”Last month, the team was involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.The Hostage Rescue Team, based in Quantico, is a domestic counterterrorism unit designed to handle hostage situations and criminal apprehensions.
