Apparently the Russians informed the US a few days ago of a second intercepted phone call involving Zubeidat Tsarnaeva and someone, likely a son.
If Russian intelligence intercepted this international call between Russia and the US, certainly the US National Security Agency must also have intercepted the call.
Who dropped the ball at NSA?

What if the big secret is that they are wiretapping within the US and that is why they were reluctant to divulge this?

(19,429 posts)5. The recent revalation is the "in another conversation", between Tsarnaeva and someone in Russia
Recently, it was revealed that Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials say.
In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case.
Had the conversations been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.
Russian authorities told the FBI only that they had concerns that Tamerlan and his mother were religious extremists. With no additional information, the FBI conducted a limited inquiry and closed the case in June 2011.
