Introducing Tamerlan News Today

She also turned out to be on the receiving end of the russian authorities and they swer interviewed her, as well. a very significant development, you might think. it would make sense. but it would make sense, because the two of them describe how they both went down that devout path pretty much the same time. this character misha, family friend, opening their eyes, in her words, to the correct islamic path, introducing tamerlan who then turned to his mother and said its time to start covering you...

About misha now. i dont know, misha, when misha visited us, we just kind of -- he just opened our eyes, you know, really wide about islam. he was really -- hes devoted and is very good, very nice man. >> if you put this together, bob, with the fact that we now know that the russians asked for information from the fbi about this mother, too, were getting a picture not just of the radicalization of tamerlan, the older brother and then perhaps moving on to his younger brother in the later stage, bu...

Below the radar screen that its an awful lot harder to prevent these plots in a sense because theyre not tripping any of the trip wires that you pass when you make contact with others for help. >> there are two aspects to that that i would pick up with you. one is of course this link to dagestan may be much more sinister. we now know tamerlan, who had a wife and young baby here, decides to go back home for six months. we dont know what he got up to there, but we do know there were active islamic...

Interviewed tamerlan, they have a minimum amount of time to go see somebody, they look for obvious connections and theyre moving on to the next one. the question is putting all these dots together, did the fbi agent in boston responsible for tamerlan know that he went to dagestan. apparently, according to homeland security, the fbi was not pinged when he returned back from dagestan, as i understand it, which is the failure here. secondly, tamerlan should have been interviewed at immigrations whe...

Third instance in which the russians have appealed for further information to the americans, warned them about the potential for the tsarnaevs being something that needed further observation. we heard today on the hill suggestions that maybe the russians arent cooperating. i think we will see this diplomatic spat grow a little bit. its fair to point out the russians appear to have done quite a lot of warning and got quite a lot of rebuffing, piers. >> absolutely right. one of the reasons they ma...

Tonight, boston and new york, one the site of a terror attack, the other where police say the suspects planned to strike next. john miller is back with me now. john, when you said there were no trigger points that could have alerted people to the tsarnaev brothers, of course, we did have these apparent warnings to the fbi about tamerlan, the older boy, and also to the cia and now we know a warning about the mother. are those not enough to trigger real alarm bells? >> well, theyre not really warn...

But it would make sense, because the two of them describe how they both went down that devout path pretty much the same time. this character misha, family friend, opening their eyes, in her words, to the correct islamic path, introducing tamerlan who then turned to his mother and said its time to start covering your hair, dragging her i think its fair to say, in that direction as well. but i should also point out, this is now i think perhaps the third instance in which the russians have appealed...

I think we will see this diplomatic spat grow a little bit. its fair to point out the russians appear to have done quite a lot of warning and got quite a lot of rebuffing, piers. >> absolutely right. one of the reasons they may not be quite so keen now to cooperate is this could all be sourced back to where you are in dagestan, that may be where tamerlan tsarnaev went and got the training and the practice to use these bombs. so understandable that perhaps theyre a little more circumspect now. wh...

Have alerted people to the tsarnaev brothers, of course, we did have these apparent warnings to the fbi about tamerlan, the older boy, and also to the cia and now we know a warning about the mother. are those not enough to trigger real alarm bells? >> well, theyre not really warnings. what they were was inquiries. what comes into the fbi in march of 2011 from the russian fsb is request for foreign police cooperation. theyre like this guy is on u.s. soil, we think he may have had ties to extremis...
