The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.
Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:
the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?
The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.
Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:
Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.
There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.
But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.
The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?
It is also suggested that the older brother’s death is attributed to the younger brother driving over him. Possible but rather unlikely I would have thought. It rather reminds me of the French suggestion that SM was actually struck by SAH’s car, which in that case, clearly impossible. A tad convenient perhaps?
“And he runs out of ammunition — the bad guy — and so one of my police officers comes off the side and tackles him in the street.
“We’re trying to get him handcuffed. There’s two or three police officers handcuffing him in the street — the older brother. At the same time, at the last minute — they obviously have tunnel vision, it’s a very, very stressful situation — one of them yells out, ‘Look out!’ and here comes the black SUV, the carjacked car, directly at them. They dive out of the way, and he (the younger brother) drives over his brother and drags him a short distance down the street.”
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Officers then saw that a transit police officer who arrived after the first five was shot in the groin during the firefight.”
Compare that account with this one in the Mirror – quite different.
“David Henneberry had gone into his garden for a cigarette after police lifted restrictions on people leaving their homes, believing the bomber had left the area. He noticed that the cover over his boat had blood on it and a strap had been cut. He went back into the house to get a stepladder and looked inside.
His stepson Robert said: “He stuck his head under the tarp and noticed a pool of blood and something crumpled up in a ball. Instead of being a hero of the moment and yelling at what we now know was the suspect, he did the right thing and called 911.”
Police immediately evacuated the family and surrounded the house, using a megaphone to tell Dzhokhar to come out with his hands up.
When he failed to respond they opened fire at the boat’s hull. Robert said: “They wound up shooting a couple of rounds through the boat. He wasn’t going to like that.”
Dzhokhar was wounded by the volley of gunfire and police were able to move in and arrest him. They later released infrared pictures taken from a helicopter showing Dzhokhar hiding in the boat.”

And in the former CNN report states:
“Police are confident, however, that there are no other suspects, Deveau said.
“From what I know right now, these two acted together and alone,” he said. “As far as this little cell and this little group, I think we got our guys.””
In the Mirror:
“The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.
Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack.
More than 1,000 FBI operatives were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.
A source close to the investigation said: “We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.
“They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come.”

It looks like the script is developing as we write. Where the truth lies – who can tell?
“EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS FROM INSIDE THE DEVILS’ LAIR… Suspected Boston Marathon bombers lived in cheap, messy, ramshackle apartment where plates of food still sit on their table”
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/boston-marathon-bombers-lived-squalid-ramshackle-apartment-article-1.1323047
Dirty dishes! Smelly laundry! The fiends and monsters! However, there’s nothing related to bombs, not even pics of the “common household chemicals” that “could be used” in bomb-making that we often hear of, even in minor arrests.
In spite of being the residence of two of the greatest fiends in history, the apartment is not a crime scene. It’s open to the press and public — or maybe the landlord is charging admission — contents soon to be available on eBay.
Wouldn’t the authorities want to extract the last fingerprint and DNA sample that could lead to fellow terrorists.
Two other crime-scenes opened prematurely to the public: Martinet & Montreal.
(There’s always a possibility the media is using pics of one of their own highly paid intern’s grotty squat.)
@ Tim V 21 Apr, 2013 – 10:30 pm
“ME: The next bit doesn’t ring true does it? “Flash-bangs” are used to disable prior to attack. In which heavily armed men would have gone in to arrest suspect following them being used. Instead spokesman says that negotiation follows the blast-bangs. This is simply incredible. A suspect would be in no fit state to negotiate for the twenty minutes following such.”
Don’t have links handy, but some reports said the boat had so many holes shot into it that it was like Swiss cheese. Maybe not so many holes as the Swiss-cheesed story itself.
Other reports say the alleged bomber tried to suicide with a shot into his mouth. There is one pic I’ve seen of him climbing down from the boat unassisted. Someone else said there is a pic of him sitting on the rail of the boat.
Main media L & R is furiously spinning the secondhand, hearsay tales of the carjacked eyewitness and the badly injured eyewitness who IDed the suspect and said he looked him in the eye as he placed the bag. Also the secondhand, hearsay account of a video of one of them placing a bag on the ground amidst spectators — the one no one is allowed to see, but media reports it as hard fact.
The Mirror is still sticking to its story as is Drudge linking to that. Remember, Drudge made his rep by sticking to the Lewinsky/Clinton story despite being vilified while the main media made furious efforts to cover-up for two weeks. 2000 blogs link to The Mirror story. Not another main outlet mentions it, not even to trash The Mirror story as hogwash.
NR above you will notice that even as the Police were stating they were sure these were two lone wolves (small pack?) and there was no one else the FBI were briefing quite the opposite, and a much wider network was involved. I know agencies can be competing even when acting in concert, but really how much effort does it take to tell the police others might be involved? Anyway that police statement has more holes in than a backyard boat. Your point about the flat is well made. Bomb-makers always leave material tell tale signs, rather like cocaine sellers. It intrigues me as to why they hi-jacked the Mercedes if not to escape, and if to escape why they didn’t immediately following the explosions? The story of an attempted shop hold-up? What bombers, knowing thousands of police were after them, would chance that? Only mighty dumb ones, and these were BRIGHT. And attending a party instead of getting the hell out of there. Why hi-jack an expensive vehicle after casually not bothering? It’s inconsistent. Then there are the additional pressure cooker and other “primitive” explosive devices that apparently they hurled at the police. How and where did they get them into the hijacked vehicle. Why would they confess all to the driver and then set him loose to go tell the police, overlooking the fact that he had left behind his mobile phone? Either the driver would keep it on him so he could phone or he gave it up on demand. If the latter of course these dumb-ass graduates would not twig they/it could be now located. Oh no of course not.
And pictures of their flat. This is simply UNBELIEVABLE! This is certainly a crime scene and would be treated as such. No non authorised persons would be allowed in, including the press. The place would be photographed by police and only crime scene officers with overalls would be in there. Finger prints, DNA samples etc.And then everything bagged up, labelled and stored before the place was taken apart for any evidence of bomb making equipment or evidence of others. No computers? Two young men and not a computer between them????? This was a MAJOR event after with Federal involvement. Not even a domestic burglary investigated by the keystone cops would be treated like this. Not unlike Chevaline either – post-event access to press before all the evidence was collected. This CANNOT be accidental. It is so obvious however it makes you wonder WHY?
N.B. These are “Daily Post” photos NOT official Boston Police or FBI photographs released to a newspaper. Therefore a newspaper photographer was in there before the normal forensics were completed. This would not happen without police permission and necessarily granted contrary to all accepted practise and guidelines.
@ Tim V 22 Apr, 2013 – 1:26 am
What it smells like is not a well-planned false flag, but one of the FBIs well-known stings gone wrong. They supplied the alleged bombers with all components including inert explosive and expected to swoop in and arrest them they moment they activated remote control detonators. Triumphant arrests, bigger budgets, more laws.
Except the brother, having heard of this trick, substituted real explosives, perhaps provided by handlers from “the other side” whatever side that might be. It accounts for the ensuing farce.
As for suppression of any mention of additional terrorists or cells, the movie “Jaws” took place in New England. Various media have totaled economic losses because of the bombings. Even a single canceled major sports event cost teams and surrounding businesses a million dollars.
Not that it proves anything, but if these two did it they are “cool cucumbers” as the old detective stories phrased it. Nowadays, it’s not unusual for minor gangstas to pop someone and nonchalantly continue with their daily routine.

Wait! News says the suspect still can’t speak, but is responding to questions in writing. However, before that story runs we need to see more brave Bostonians singing hymns.
Dagestan remains flooded with US news crews interviewing relatives. Nothing re our carjack victim/eyewitness.
“Yesterday Katherine Russell, who has been staying at her parents’ home in Rhode Island, returned to the Cambridge, Massachusetts home which she shared with her late husband… she darted into the white shingle house to collect some belongings…”
“… she was living with Tsarnaev when he travelled to Makhachkala in 2011 – a trip now attracting the interest of investigators trying to establish whether he met with Gaczhimurad Dolgatov at that time. Dolgatov was a Dagestani jihadist who died in 2012 after a vicious stand-off with Russian security services.”

How many residences did these dudes have? The grotty flat pictured by the NY Daily News. The college dorm where the younger brother stayed. A white shingle house. There must be a “bomb factory” somewhere. Conspiracy lovers ask whether the Russells are of the famed Illuminati Russell Trust.
“Earlier Saturday afternoon, a silver mini-van with consulate license plates arrived at the Carriage Drive apartment along with the FBI and Homeland Security… Efforts by The Standard-Times to identify the van’s consulate did not provide any answers, and the FBI spokeswoman had no information about it. A U.S. Department of State spokeswoman said her agency was “not privy” to the investigation… On Friday, Lt. Robert Richard told The Standard-Times that the students were believed to be fellow students or roommates of Tsarnaev, who is a registered student at UMass Dartmouth.”

“According to recent reports, brothers Tamerlane and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, natives of the countries of the CIS, are the prime suspects. According to Western publication, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was born in Kyrgyzstan, and Tamerlane – in Russia. The two boys used to live with their families in Dagestan. The Tsarnaevs moved to America in 2002-2003…. Another version of investigation says that Tsarnaev brothers moved to the U.S. from Kazakhstan, where they had previously fled from Chechnya. Supposedly, the suspects entered the United States holding the Turkish citizenship. In any case, most Western journalists call the terrorists “Russian”, without going into details.”

Two readers’ comments from infowars.com
“See the BBC Video where the robot lobs what look like two fairly high intensity explosives into the boat in the backyard in Watertown. All of it was caught by helicopter using infrared night imaging video. Yet somehow there is also a picture of him sitting on the boat. Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie would never script something so bizarre.”
“Now we know why the homeowner of the boat (David Henneberry) where suspect #2 was found in was never interviewed on camera by the news media… which falsely reported he observed a bloody mess inside the craft. Check out new boat photos: NO BLOOD INSIDE BOAT.”

Surprisingly Fox News actually asked an ex-fed expert why the feds needed the publics’ help in putting a name to suspects’ pics, since they had the passport/visa pics. The expert did not answer. Does anyone know who finally named the suspects? Was it a citizen, or did the bros conveniently give Mr. AnonCarjackVictim their names along with correct spelling and their handy-dandy confession, or did they get the names from the plates of the younger bro’s second vehicle at the shootout, supposedly his personal Mercedes which he’d nervously retrieved from a repair shop earlier.

http://northhillshospital.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/this-is-only-a-drill/
Stay away from pre announced drills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Texas blast – drill was announced prior to the blast. Hospital announces “actors” will be used in that drill. Don’t be concerned, they are just actors. Fine, but I should not be close to the next drill, should I?
This is all Bernays. You need only 10-12 actors and a sonic blast to convince the general public (even those who were standing next to the actors) that something has happened. Panic is a psycholigical thing. Get 3 people next to you screaming in pain and you’re going to scream, too. Get 3-5 people standing next to you screaming and running, and youre going to scream and run, too, and so on. That’s Bernays and he was right on track.
We are running with the majority and while being in panic, we are irrationally believing everything what the leaders are going to tell us (in a state of shock as we are).
Mind the drills!
Btw. Those poor boys received the “Jason Bourne identity”. They were both working for the CIA (the other CIA?) on behalf of the Caucasus-Alciada.
http://rt.com/politics/berezovsky-financed-terrorists-by-paying-ransoms-chechen-prez/
The CIA is getting rid of its own Berezovsky group since the funding for this group has stopped and Berezovsky suicided. Therefore these two Berezovsky Chechens received the Bourne identity as a “gift”. A group without any financing leader makes no longer any sense and could become a threat for leaking information when they are beginning to riot and leaking due of lack of funds. For people from Russia and eastwards, money has more value than life. More Chechens and Iraqis who had worked for Berezovsky’s CIA subsidiary like Umar Israilov (killed in Vienna) will follow their similar fate soon. This is a clean up agenda regarding now useless and dangerous (leaking) “team Berezovsky”.
https://mobile.twitter.com/NorthHillsHosp
This link is just to confirm that the North Hills hospital drill was NOT a fake blog, check the official twitter account of the North Hills hospital and the time line. That drill on the day of the texas explosion was scheduled for real! STAY AWAY FROM DRILLS!!!!
http://harpers.org/blog/2010/04/the-trail-from-a-murder-in-vienna-leads-to-the-president-of-chechnya/
Umar Israilov was a neighbour (and friend?, clan member?) of Ali and Beslan Tsarnaev (obviously uncles of the two Chechnians) who lived in a small suburb of Grozny and whose houses were flattened by Russian bulldozers with their children still being inside the houses.
Berezovsky had deep ties to mafia, terrorists and wahabists in chechnia and he created (supported by the other CIA) a criminal chechnian network with fake ransom money used for weapon deals. Litvinenko had strong ties to these chechen mafia networks, too.
Now that the sponsor is dead, everything breaks apart and the remaining agents are seeking for funds and new sponsors. They become threats for the officially unknown political Berezovsky supporters. Similar criminal ransom money ties Berezovsky had in Iraq, using Iraqi and London based Iraqi agents.
Some readers in Israel commented that the US was nutz in closing down Boston. They’ve never closed down over bombers, suicide or not. And why did they not close down immediately after the bombings when two bombers are loose, but wait until one is killed and a single one is suddenly a greater danger?
Then, when the younger one is captured alive in the boat, instantly the crisis is over. The whole city and country is cheering, “We won, we won, USA, USA!” Won what?
There was a reason why they must urgently capture the escaped bomber. Before he spilled the beans and let the kittens out of the bag?
Over at infowars readers are wagering on how long the alleged bomber will remain alive, before he “takes a turn for the worse”. Somebody bet $10,000 the government will keep him alive. Don’t know if that’s been taken up by the opposite side.
Last news was his condition is upgraded to “Critical but Stable”. Previously he was said to be “Serious but Stable”. That’s a downgrade not an upgrade. Possibly the news just had the terms reversed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_state
Same news said he was not communicating by writing to interrogators, but to doctors who briefly reduced drugs so they could ask medical questions.
One person who was intubated said it’s unlikely he’s coherent.
Patients are give muscle relaxants and painkillers for intubation, plus whatever extra painkillers are needed for injury, and in his case he remembered nothing of the week he was intubated excepting one conversation with a nurse.
Of course that works to interrogators advantage. He might spill whatever beans there are or sign a confession in an addled state.
NR
He will spill whatever beans there are …..
Of course. They have drugs in hospitals. Of course they only treat him with drugs for his best recovery.
Doctors in that Israeli hospital can cause pain if necessary, of course they will cause this pain only for the reason of his quick recovery
Why detaining somebody or even mess with torture? Simply take him into a convenient Mossad hospital. There are the best trained MDs and they will do whatever is necessary for the wellbeing (of whom?). They can even remove the throat if necessary. There are very good and experienced MD teams.

Meanwhile Fox interview with Greg Abbott State Attorney General entitled “What caused the Texas explosion” never even touches on it. Instead warm words about bravery and loss and avoiding scams!

22 Apr, 2013 – 12:16 pm Parallels with Chevaline. Shoot to kill. Try running over. If that doesn’t work, heavy sedation then whisked away out of sight and out of mind like Zeena and Zainab?
Then for those interested in anniversaries, the 70th of the Warsaw uprising was officially being celebrated on the 19th April.

So in addition to BB’s warning to stay away from DRILLS! we should add ANNIVERSARIES! (All quite co-incidental of course)
I believe, Mochyn69, that the posters are interested in things like a possible Russian connection in both stories, as well as other commonalities, and the way these stories have been presented by the media to the public. Just as possible connections to Ben Zygier have been explored in the past, this one is taking some time. Is there a big picture that connects some recent events in the world? Time will tell. We don’t know if there was a bigger picture to the Chevaline massacre, just as we don’t know if there is a bigger picture, and possible connections to terrorist groups, in the Boston bombings. One thing common to all these stories is that they have some fairly large gaps in the plot line, and some questionable “facts”, leaving many unanswered questions.
With news today that the surviving Boston bomber cannot speak because he injured his throat in a failed suicide attempt, it occurred to me that many aspects of the Boston bombing have been recycled from another plot line:
http://www.rbbi.com/folders/acc/cunan/cunan.htm
Sorry, Mochyn69. I had to add that.
Speaking of “dodgy passports” and opening bank accounts with dodgy passports, and oddly enough, Spain:
http://citizensrequired.picture-ltd.com/citizensrequired/steve/ga_sealand/sealand.shtml
I will resist the urge to explore that further, and will instead stay on track.
@ Tim V: Perhaps the Mercedes and its driver were a recycled plot line. They carjacked a mystery man and robbed (delete: unrobbed) a 7-11. The mystery man has not been indentified yet, has he? Why not take the vehicle and leave the driver behind? Why was the Mercedes white, and not a Peugeot 206? Maybe the vehicle will morph into a dark Pajero.
