Mosque says bombing suspects were 'occasional visitors,' never violent
By Erin McClam, Staff Writer, NBC News
A mosque outside Boston said Saturday that the two brothers suspected in the bombing of the Boston Marathon were “occasional visitors” who never “exhibited any violent sentiments or behavior.”
The Islamic Society of Boston Cambridge Masjid said in a statement that its community was “in shock to have learned of the crimes of these individuals.”
The FBI confirmed that it questioned Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 for possible extremist ties after a tip from a foreign country that he was a “follower of radical Islam” and planned to join an underground group.

Yeah, and the FBI saw NOTHING when asked to investigate Tamerlan in 2011 despite his best friend, Brandan Mess being nearly decapitated.
Two years ago Mess and two other men – Raphael Teken and Erik Weissman – were murdered on September 12, 2011. This video report posted @Waltham Patch.com on 9/12/2011 describes the scene on 9/12 as the victims "being found". . .which may suggest the murders may have taken place on 9/11/2011, the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
Given the younger Tsarnaev became a naturalized citizen on 9/11/2012, it's not a stretch to think the 9/11 anniversary played a significant role in their jihad dreams.
Obit for one of the three murdered confirms death on 9/11/2011 - the ten year anniversary of 9/11.
Coincidence?
FWIW, Raphael Teken was the son of a Rabbi and graduate of Brandeis University.
Victim, Eric Weissman was also Jewish. http://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Memory-of-Erik-Weissman/220015688052397
