No Al-Qaeda involvement, so let's make up lies about drug money financing Boston Bombers.

Laugh! Laugh! Laugh! Hey Obama! You're stupid!

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the brothers and suspects in
last week's Boston Marathon bombing attack, may have financed
their plot through drug sales, investigators believe.

According to sources, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was unemployed and
later died in a shootout with police, made money selling
marijuana, CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reported.

Meanwhile, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee
said it was a remote control for a toy car that triggered the
bombs in the Boston Marathon explosions that killed three people
and wounded more than 260, CBS News learned. Rep. Dutch
Ruppersberger (D-MD) made the announcement early Wednesday
evening.

Also, two U.S. officials say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving
suspect, was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a
boat in a neighborhood back yard. Authorities originally said
they had exchanged gunfire with Dzhokhar for more than one hour
Friday evening before they were able to subdue him.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation, say
investigators recovered a 9 mm handgun believed to have been
used by Tamerlan, from the site of a gun battle Thursday night,
which injured a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
officer. Dzhokhar was believed to have been shot before he
escaped.

The officials tell The Associated Press that no gun was found in
the boat. Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said earlier that
shots were fired from inside the boat.

Earlier, it was reported that Tamerlan received welfare benefits
from the state up until last year, when he became ineligible
based on family income. A spokesman for the state Office of
Health and Human Services on Wednesday confirmed a Boston Herald
story that Tamerlan, his wife and their toddler daughter had
received benefits.

A lawyer for his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva, has said
that she worked 70 to 80 hours per week as a home health aide
while her husband cared for their daughter.

The state says both Tamerlan and Dzhokhar � his brother and the
other bombing suspect � received welfare benefits as children
through their parents while the family lived in Massachusetts.

Neither was receiving benefits at the time of the bombing.

Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva is assisting federal authorities who
are investigating the attacks, her lawyer said on Tuesday.

"She is doing everything she can to assist with the
investigation," said Amato DeLuca, her lawyer. "The report of
involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an
absolute shock to them all."

The lawyer also issued a statement that said Tsarnaeva, whose
toddler is the daughter of the late suspect, is "trying to come
to terms with these events."

Meanwhile U.S. investigators are in contact with suspects in
southern Russia and working with Russian security officials to
shed light on the deadly attack, a U.S. Embassy official said
Wednesday.

The Americans traveled Tuesday from Moscow to the predominantly
Muslim province of Dagestan "because the investigation is
ongoing, it's not over," said the official, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to
the media. He said the U.S. team is working with the Russian
security services, the FSB.

"This is a horrible tragedy for our country, but one positive
development might be closer cooperation on this set of issues
with the Russian government," the embassy official said.

The Tsarnaev brothers are accused of setting off the two bombs
near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15. The
elder brother was later killed in a police standoff.

Investigators are looking into whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who
spent six months in Russia's Caucasus in 2012, was influenced by
the religious extremists who have waged an insurgency against
Russian security services in the area for years. The brothers
have roots in Dagestan and neighboring Chechnya, but neither
spent much time in either place before the family moved to the
United States a decade ago.

On Wednesday, their mother, Tsarnaeva, was inside the FSB
building in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, where she was
believed to be speaking further to U.S. and Russian
investigators.

Heda Saratova, a prominent Chechen rights activist providing
support to the distraught mother, said Tsarnaeva first went in
for questioning on Tuesday, returning late at night. Saratova
said she had no details about the discussions, but Tsarnaeva
said they were "cordial."

The father, Anzor Tsarnaev, also was summoned to the FSB
headquarters but did not go because he felt ill.
