“In the 12 years since the attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, there have been more than 25 plots to strike the United
States hatched by Americans, most of which were ill-conceived or helped along
by undercover operatives who, in many cases, provided their targets with
weapons or other materials.”
“An uneasy panic settled over Boston when it was revealed
that the Tsarnaev brothers were not, as many assumed, connected to a terrorist
group, but young men seemingly affiliated with no one but themselves.”
“Since the bombing, friends and acquaintances of the
Tsarnaevs, as well as the FBI and other law-enforcement officials, have tried
to piece together a narrative of the brothers, most of which has focused on
Tamerlan, whom we now know was on multiple U.S. and Russian watch lists prior
to 2013, though neither the FBI nor the CIA could find a reason to investigate
him further.”
