Boston Suburb, Transit Under Lockdown Following Shootout With One Bombing Suspect, Manhunt For Another, Both From Chechnya

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a series of bizarre if morbid events, things in Boston have gone from bad to surreal. According to Reuters, police killed one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing during a shootout and were engaged in a house-to-house search for the other on Friday in the Boston suburb of Watertown. The suspects, incidentally, as AP reports, are reportedly brothers and originally from the separatist Russian region of Chechnya, who lived in the US for at least 1 year and were Cambridge residents at the time of the incident.

The night started off in a just as dramatic fashion, with the violence beginning around 10:30 p.m., with the robbery of a 7-11 in nearby Cambridge, authorities said. The two men then fatally shot an MIT campus police officer and carjacked a Mercedes sport-utility vehicle at gunpoint, keeping the vehicle's owner hostage for about a half-hour, police said. The owner was released at a gas station in Cambridge, authorities said. He wasn't injured.

Police pursued that car to Watertown, where explosives were thrown from the car at police and gunfire was exchanged, the statement said.

"During the exchange of the gunfire, we believe that one of the suspects was struck and ultimately taken into custody. A second suspect was able to flee from that car and there is an active search going on at this point in time," Colonel Timothy Alben, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, told a news conference.

The WSJ adds that a Boston Marathon bombing suspect was killed in a confrontation with police and a manhunt was on for the second suspect—both of whom were believed to be involved in the fatal shooting of an MIT campus police officer during a chaotic series of events Thursday night.

Authorities said the bombing suspect who had been shown wearing a black baseball cap in photographs released Thursday was killed when confronted by police in Watertown, Mass. The second suspect, a light-skinned man with long curly hair and wearing a hoodie who police said was the bombing suspect identified wearing a white hat, was still at large Friday morning. Neither man was identified. Police warned residents that the at-large suspect was armed and dangerous.

An interactive map of the events from the WSJ:

Fast forward to this morning, when authorities warned people in Watertown not to leave their homes and not to answer the door after a night in which a university police officer was killed, a transit police officer was wounded, and the suspects carjacked a vehicle, leading police on a chase.

Police were searching for the man known as Suspect 2 who was photographed wearing a white hat just before the explosions that killed three people and wounded 176. The blasts triggered security scares across the United States and evoked memories of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

The AP reports that the name of the surviving suspect is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass.

The bombing suspects attacked police with explosives and gunfire before the man known as Suspect 1 was shot, apprehended, and taken to a hospital, where he died, officials said.

Officials shut down area transit systems while the manhunt was under way.

"We believe this to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis of the bombing suspect still at large. "We believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. We need to get him in custody."

The two unidentified men were wanted for Monday's twin bombings at the Boston Marathon, when two blasts ripped through the crowd near the finish line.

The massive police operation was under way in Watertown after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday released pictures and video of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The FBI had enlisted the public's help in identifying two men wearing backpacks and baseball caps in the crowd minutes before bombs exploded near the finish line.

A photo of the surviving suspect Tsarnaev:

For those confused by the plotline here is the WSJ's summary:

We have just gotten news that both Harvard and MIT have canceled classes for Friday, and that all Boston transit has been suspended in the manhunt:

Boston police said on Friday that all transit service by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority "has been suspended until further notice" as a manhunt for a suspect in the bombing of the Boston Marathon was ongoing in a city suburb.

 

Vehicle traffic was also suspended in and out of Watertown, Boston police said.

Reading ZH is like entering an alternate universe that operates on the reverse of Occam's Razor.   Simple explanations are discarded for outlandish ravings.  "It" was planned by "them" despite evidence from the start of a rank amateur job.  The location (a race), the type of bomb (pressure cooker), the inability to explode them - it screams amateur.  But in ZH land it MUST have shadowy double meanings and associations with the powers that wannabe.  It's like those who can't accept that people and not aliens built the pyramids.

Sadly, these "interpretation" have costs ZH serious readers and earned it a growing reputation as home for weirdos whose posts only egg on others - like a fire whipping winds that feed itself  "Did you see him turn his head?"  "Yeah and there was a soldier"  "And what about the man waving - it's a signal?"  "The police didn't know beforehand - indeed a coverup."  Jesus christ,  I can still remember when ZH was thought of as a knowledgable source for economic news.

Unfortunately the simple answer is that the government is planning and executing ALL of these false flag events, just as they have in the past ... To believe that these are random acts of loony drugged up troubled kids (or Islamic terrorists who hate our freedom ... choke) is so improbably as to be laughable.... and that because of that we need to murder millions of people in foreign countries and give up our Constitution so that lying psychopaths can have more power (or what is the real goal?).

The issue that we have as a people is that we are bound by our paradigms and belief systems and we will throw away FACTS before we will change our paradigm. We were educated to believe that the US government can do no wrong. Sadly it was a big lie.... the biggest. Now we are at the beginning stages of paying the price for putting our trust in people running and destroying our government.

If questioning lies means having a reputation as a wierdo ... count me in.

Let's start with this:  You offer zero evidence for your belief but simply repeat the mantra - the evil system  run by psychopaths is exceuting every event due to piss poor public education that brainwashes us as we murder millions in foreign countries while trampling on the Constitution.  "Throw away FACTS"?  LOL   What facts?  I've seen nothing except wish fulfillment that this was anything other than a botched job by two kids who couldn't even get their devices to explode.   What possible reason would those who secretly control events have for setting off a pressure cooker bomb at the Boston Marathon? 

I'm a skeptic and thus, do not immediately jump to wild, unsupportable conclusions without a shred of proof. The trouble with "They did it" explanation is that it eliminates individual responsibility.  If every disaster, crime or historical event is nothing more than directives by powerful shadowy folks bent on world domination then why bother trying?  If history is simply a game of manipulation and not the result of cause and effect then what's the use of trying to improve, learn and love?

Nice to meet you too.  So anyone not accepting your version of events (without a hint of evidence) is a tool?  Do you not see that any group controlling history would not need to set off a couple of lousy bombs at a race to further their goal?  They wouldn't have to anything.  And why try to improve things if history is nothing more than a game?  Who knows?  ZH may be part of the game, set up as an outlet for folks with anger management issues.  Maybe it's a part of "coincidence theory".  LOL

FWIW, my predictions are on the MSM spin and eventual .Gov push for legislation.  De nada on perps, conspiracy, etc.  It's almost irrelevant whether this is really a story of Lone Wolves, int'l terrorist conspiracy or TPTB conspiracy.  What will matter is the end result that leads to .gov "saving" us with more laws, more powers, more outlays for more toys...

Which can all be circumvented by $200 worth of basic chemistry, mechanical engineering and a duffle bag.

Yep more action, car chases, Bourne type gettaways and subterfuge ... plus a Hans Zimmer score.

The movie will be much more exciting and tense... plus they will be able to add an implied connection to the NRA and Ron Paul. It was actually all about the 2nd amendment and through there hatred of America an unusual alliance was formed between unlikely allies. Produced, directed and starring, George Clooney

call me overly suspicious, but according to the account on drudge, we are to believe the bombers of the marathon runners are so uncontrollably evil that in their spare time they knock over 7-11's?  

not only that, but they throw pressure cooker bombs at police they are having a shoot out with?

not only that, but one of them runs right into the firing line probably yelling 'shoot me please'?

i mean, i hope somebody questions all of this.

Oswald went into the theater because he knew the cops were after him and wanted to be arrested in front of a room full of witnesses. Less chance of being killed while resisting arrest. It worked, for a while.

"he knew the cops were after him".  

The cops weren't after him,  for all they knew he was a nobody worker.   In all the confusion of a POTUS being shot with no witnesses to give description of a shooter from the building how did they know they were after LHO within such a short time with zero evidence?  Secondly I ask, the theatre manager called the cops to complain that a man skipped out on paying for a dollar ticket after the POTUS was shot.  First, why would the police even take such a petty call?  The theatre manager had no way of knowing this was a suspect of anything other than petty theft of a dollar.    Anything else I could buy.  This theatre incident NEVER seemed believable to me and what I consider logic.    Lastly, the theater manager had to know the POTUS was shot and killed and his major beef that day was some guy not paying for a ticket?  OK, now lastly, LHO, having allegedly just killed the POTUS and Tippet the cop, very crafty and calculating for sure, doing all he can to avoid arrest decided to refuse to pay a dollar for a movie ticket which would be the opposite of calculating and crafty.   HMMM......

Remember Lee Harvey Oswald who killed Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit in his a spare time before going to a movie on the day JFK was murdered?

On Dec.1, 1934, Kirov, a closed associate of Stalin, was killed just outside of his office. Stalin personally conducted investigation.  A terrible plan whas been discovered by the Soviet State Security. The Great Purges followed with over 800,000 people were executed and 4 millions were sent to concentration camps. The Lenin's Wall Street financed Jewish Bolshevik revolution was over with almost all of its senior members were slaughtered. By the way, even today nobody knows who killed Kirov and why.
