From CNN.com Authorities in Boston plan a "controlled explosion" Friday afternoon to destroy suspicious material found during the hunt for bomb suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev.
Police say the scheduled detonation is the safest way to neutralize any possible threat posed by the material. They would not specify what kind of material they had found.
The planned blast will come after a night and day filled with rapid-fire developments in the hunt for the two suspects — later identified as brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev — in the Boston Marathon bomb attacks that killed three and left scores of others gravely hurt.
Older brother Tamerlan, 26, died after a shootout with police overnight in Boston. Younger brother Dzhokar, 19, remains at large and is the subject of a massive dragnet that has virtually locked down the city.
The overnight violence, which began with a convenience store robbery, killed a campus officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another officer was wounded.
Two proudest moments in a man’s life: The day he gets a boat, and the day he sells it.
He has been captured hiding in a boat. I just hope nothing weird happens to him in a jail cell like he strangles himself before they find out who was behind this. No way these 2 young knuckleheads all on their own planned and executed this. Someone had to give them lots of $$$, guns, and explosives.
(Sorry when I added the second paragraph something caused it to go into moderation, I tried again and surprisingly it did it again, so this one has me disjointing words left and right to get this in. I can’t figure out what caused it to go into dreaded “mod” mode!)
Hey you morons, defenders of fascism, disbelievers in due process, what evidence did they provide these guys were the terrorists? Photos of them walking around! That’s all they ever showed. Good enough for you zombies, I guess.
Meanw hile all sorts of sus pici ous ac tivity from op eratives during the dri ll Bo ston Gl obe twee ted about acr oss fr om lib ra ry, and yes the tweet was conf irmed as refe rring to actual b omb that went off as vi deo shows Bo ston Pub lic Libr ary right across the street from where the bom b went off! But don’t bother confirming this. Just spit out your stu pid opinions and insults so you can feel good and secure about your stu pid selves
Hey Jeremy, next time there’s going to be a drill, be a doll and let us know in advance so we don’t get killed in a false flag operation, okay?
Jeremy, why don’t you leave the country or stop accepting government benefits if it’s so horrible and filled with all these government cover-ups?
A very interesting thing about commenting on a lot of sites is that they have editors who delete free thinkers. Huffington Post has deleted my posts, I have been kicked off Facebook for pictuures, Brietbart , WND, LA Times, OC Register all have deleted postings. The internet is propaganda too. Edited by paid neo-con like nerds who kiss ass to the big corporate machines and international one world Bilderbergs and Bohemian Grove elitists.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lay hospitalized in serious condition under heavy guard Saturday — apparently in no shape to be interrogated — as investigators tried to establish the motive for the deadly attack and the scope of the plot.
People across the Boston area breathed easier the morning after Tsarnaev, 19, was pulled, wounded and bloody, from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard. The capture came at the end of a tense day that began with his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, dying in a gunbattle with police.
There was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.
The most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.
President Barack Obama said there are many unanswered questions about the bombing, including whether the Tsarnaev brothers — ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived in the Boston area — had help from others. The president urged people not to rush judgment about their motivations.
U.S. officials said an elite interrogation team would question the Massachusetts college student without reading him his Miranda rights, something that is allowed on a limited basis when the public may be in immediate danger, such as instances in which bombs are planted and ready to go off.
The American Civil Liberties Union expressed concern about that possibility. Executive Director Anthony Romero said the legal exception applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is “not an open-ended exception” to the Miranda rule, which guarantees the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
The federal public defender’s office in Massachusetts said it has agreed to represent Tsarnaev once he is charged. Miriam Conrad, public defender for Massachusetts, said he should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are “serious issues regarding possible interrogation.”
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Saturday afternoon that Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition and was probably unable to communicate. Tsarnaev was at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where 11 victims of the bombing were still being treated.
“I, and I think all of the law enforcement officials, are hoping for a host of reasons the suspect survives,” the governor said after a ceremony at Fenway Park to honor the victims and survivors of the attack. “We have a million questions, and those questions need to be answered.”
The all-day manhunt Friday brought the Boston area to a near standstill and put people on edge across the metropolitan area.
The break came around nightfall when a homeowner in Watertown saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw a bloody Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding inside, police said. After an exchange of gunfire, he was seized and taken away in an ambulance.
Raucous celebrations erupted in and around Boston, with chants of “USA! USA!” Residents flooded the streets in relief four days after the two pressure-cooker bombs packed with nails and other shrapnel went off.
Michael Spellman said he bought tickets to Saturday’s Red Sox game at Fenway Park to help send a message to the bombers.
“They’re not going to stop us from doing things we love to do,” he said, sitting a few rows behind home plate. “We’re not going to live in fear.”
During the long night of violence leading up to the capture, the Tsarnaev brothers killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and took part in a furious shootout and car chase in which they hurled explosives at police from a large homemade arsenal, authorities said.
Chechnya, where the Tsarnaev family has roots, has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
Investigators have not offered a motive for the Boston attack. But in interviews with officials and those who knew the Tsarnaevs, a picture has emerged of the older one as someone embittered toward the U.S., increasingly vehement in his Muslim faith and influential over his younger brother.
The Russian FSB intelligence service told the FBI in 2011 about information that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam, two law enforcement officials said Saturday.
According to an FBI news release, a foreign government said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev appeared to be strong believer and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. for travel to the Russian region to join unspecified underground groups.
The FBI did not name the foreign government, but the two officials said it was Russia. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter publicly.
The FBI said that in response, it interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and relatives, and did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity. The bureau said it looked into such things as his telephone and online activity, his travels and his associations with others.
An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man’s increased commitment to Islam.
Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., said Tamerlan told him in a 2009 phone conversation that he had chosen “God’s business” over work or school. Tsarni said he then contacted a family friend who told him Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam.
Tsarni said his relationship with his nephew ended after that call.
As for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, “he’s been absolutely wasted by his older brother. I mean, he used him. He used him for whatever he’s done,” Tsarni said.
Albrecht Ammon, a downstairs-apartment neighbor of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Cambridge, said in an interview that the older brother had strong political views about the United States. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as “an excuse for invading other countries.”
Tamerlan Tsarnaev studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said. He was married with a young daughter. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
As of Saturday, more than 50 victims of the bombing remained hospitalized, three in critical condition
people tend to freak out whenever u tell them the govt is lying to you… but when r they ever honest?
