The Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US into terror
trap
The big questions buzzing over Boston Bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev have a single answer: It emerged in the 102 tense hours
between the twin Boston Marathon bombings Monday, April 15 – which
left three dead, 180 injured and a police officer killed at MIT - and
Dzohkhar’s capture Friday, April 19 in Watertown. The conclusion
reached by debkafile’s counterterrorism and intelligence sources is
that the brothers were double agents, hired by US and Saudi
intelligence to penetrate the Wahhabi jihadist networks which, helped
by Saudi financial institutions, had spread across the restive Russian
Caucasian.
Instead, the two former Chechens betrayed their mission and went
secretly over to the radical Islamist networks. By this tortuous path,
the brothers earned the dubious distinction of being the first
terrorist operatives to import al Qaeda terror to the United States
through a winding route outside the Middle East – the Caucasus.
This broad region encompasses the autonomous or semi-autonomous Muslim
republics of Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, North
Ossetia and Karachyevo-Cherkesiya, most of which the West has never
heard of.
Moscow however keeps these republics on a tight military and
intelligence leash, constantly putting down violent resistance by the
Wahhabist cells, which draw support from certain Saudi sources and
funds from the Riyadh government for building Wahhabist mosques and
schools to disseminate the state religion of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis feared that their convoluted involvement in the Caucasus
would come embarrassingly to light when a Saudi student was questioned
about his involvement in the bombng attacks while in a Boston hospital
with badly burned hands. They were concerned to enough to send Saudi
Foreign Minister Prince Saudi al-Faisal to Washington Wednesday, April
17, in the middle of the Boston Marathon bombing crisis, for a private
conversation with President Barack Obama and his national security
adviser Tom Donilon on how to handle the Saudi angle of the bombing
attack.
That day too, official Saudi domestic media launched an extraordinary
three-day campaign. National and religious figures stood up and
maintained that authentic Saudi Wahhabism does not espouse any form of
terrorism or suicide jihadism and the national Saudi religion had
nothing to do with the violence in Boston. “No matter what the
nationality and religious of the perpetrators, they are terrorists and
deviants who represent no one but themselves.”
Prince Saud was on a mission to clear the 30,000 Saudi students in
America of suspicion of engaging in terrorism for their country or
religion, a taint which still lingers twelve years after 9/11. He was
concerned that exposure of the Tsarnaev brothers’ connections with
Wahhabist groups in the Caucasus would revive the stigma. The
Tsarnaevs' recruitment by US intelligence as penetration agents
against terrorist networks in southern Russia explains some otherwise
baffling features of the event:
1. An elite American college in Cambridge admitted younger brother
Dzhokhar and granted him a $2,500 scholarship, without subjecting him
to the exceptionally stiff standard conditions of admission. This may
be explained by his older brother Tamerlan demanding this privilege
for his kid brother in part payment for recruitment.
2. When in 2011, a “foreign government” (Russian intelligence) asked
the FBI to screen Tamerlan for suspected ties to Caucasian Wahhabist
cells during a period in which they had begun pledging allegiance to
al Qaeda, the agency, it was officially revealed, found nothing
incriminating against him and let him go after a short interview.
He was not placed under surveillance. Neither was there any attempt to
hide the fact that he paid a long visit to Russia last year and on his
return began promoting radical Islam on social media. Yet even after
the Boston marathon bombings, when law enforcement agencies, heavily
reinforced by federal and state personnel, desperately hunted the
perpetrators, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was never mentioned as a possible
suspect
3. Friday, four days after the twin explosions at the marathon
finishing line, the FBI released footage of Suspect No. 1 in a black
hat and Suspect No. 2 in a white hat walking briskly away from the
crime scene, and appealed to the public to help the authorities
identify the pair. We now know this was a charade. The authorities
knew exactly who they were. Suddenly, during the police pursuit of
their getaway car from the MIT campus on Friday, they were fully
identified. The brother who was killed in the chase was named
Tamerlan, aged 26, and the one who escaped, only to be hunted down
Saturday night hiding in a boat, was 19-year old Dzhokhar.
Our intelligence sources say that we may never know more than we do
today about the Boston terrorist outrage which shook America – and
most strikingly, Washington - this week. We may not have the full
story of when and how the Chechen brothers were recruited by US
intelligence as penetration agents – any more than we have got to the
bottom of tales of other American double agents who turned coat and
bit their recruiters.
Here is just a short list of some of the Chechen brothers’ two-faced
predecessors: In the 1980s, an Egyptian called Ali Abdul Saoud Mohamed
offered his services as a spy to the CIA residence in Cairo. He was
hired, even though he was at the time the official interpreter of
Ayman al-Zuwahiri, then Osama bin Laden’s senior lieutenant and
currently his successor.
He accounted for this by posing as a defector. But then, he turned out
to be feeding al Qaeda US military secrets. Later, he was charged with
Al Qaeda’s 1998 bombings of US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es-Salaam.
On Dec. 30, 2009, the Jordanian physician Humam Khalil al-Balawi,
having gained the trust of US intelligence in Afghanistan as an agent
capable of penetrating al Qaeda’s top ranks, detonated a bomb at a
prearranged rendezvous in Kost, killing the four top CIA agents in the
country.
Then, there was the French Muslim Mohamed Merah. He was recruited by
French intelligence to penetrate Islamist terror cells in at least
eight countries, including the Caucasus. At the end of last year, he
revealed his true spots in deadly attacks on a Jewish school in
Toulouse and a group of French military commandoes. The debate has
begun over the interrogation of the captured Boston bomber Dzhokhar
Tsarmayev when he is fit for questioning after surgery for two bullet
wounds and loss of blood. The first was inflicted during the police
chase in which his brother Tamerlan was killed.
An ordinary suspect would be read his rights (Miranda) and be
permitted a lawyer. In his case, the “public safety exemption” option
may be invoked, permitting him to be questioned without those rights,
provided the interrogation is restricted to immediate public safety
concerns. President Barack Obama is also entitled to rule him an
“enemy combatant” and so refer him to a military tribunal and
unrestricted grilling. According to debkafile’s counter terror
sources, four questions should top the interrogators' agenda:
a) At what date did the Tsarnaev brothers turn coat and decide to work
for Caucasian Wahhabi networks?
b) Did they round up recruits for those networks in the United States
- particularly, among the Caucasian and Saudi communities?
c) What was the exact purpose of the Boston Marathon bombings and
their aftermath at MIT in Watertown?
d) Are any more terrorist attacks in the works in other American
cities?
