Thought some of you might like a butchers at this -
One of the Boston bomb suspects was added to a terrorism database 18 months ago at the request of the CIA, officials have told US media...
...Officials said Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been added to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (Tide) on the request of the CIA.
The database contains as many as 745,000 entries, and individuals on that list are not necessarily on the so-called terrorist watch list.
About six months before the CIA requested his name be added to Tide, the FBI asked the Russians for more information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev but received none, and closed its investigation.
Something I noted -
But the Associated Press quoted two unnamed officials as saying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been unarmed when he was captured.
And a motive ?, weak as...
In bedside questioning, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has said he and his brother were angry about the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the brothers are not believed to have had direct contact with a militant organisation, politicians said after closed-door briefings.
It is suspected the brothers became radicalised online.

I seen a separate article somewhere saying that he was denied citizenship because of this, younger brother was granted and was done to avoid detection. I can try to dig it up ?, entirely unsure on its reliability.
