Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon twin bombings, is actively cooperating with investigators, according to various reports, and telling them his older brother, Tamerlan, organized the attack to defend Islam.

In another development, the Boston Globe is reporting that Tamerlan, who was killed during a shootout with law enforcement during the manhunt, is being eyed in a triple slaying in 2011.

1. Wow, who knew that they had only one eye. Or is "Jihad One" the new name for the event?

English: the lost language.

[muriel_volestrangler]

2. OP left out the '|' separators the article used

It seems a good way to confuse us.

[Buzz Clik]

3. Seriously.

[tanyev]

4. I think Jihad One Eyed is somebody's pirate name.

[tblue]

11. So it's not a cyclops?

Disappointeeeeeeeed. I so wanted to read more about the cyclops.

[sofa king]

12. What's the name of his other eye?

[onehandle]

5. Crapola headline from one of the worst papers in America. nt

[foo_bar]

6. there appears to be a different (crappy) headline on the Inquirer piece

DU LBN: "Bombing Suspects Carrying Out Jihad One Eyed in Triple Slaying"
Philly.com: "New bombing reports | Suspects on jihad | 1 eyed in triple slaying"

But, yeah, the DU version conjures a certain image:

7. Not the way to let your friends know not to do drugs...this guy most

assuredly should be looked into for the 3 murders in '11

[olddad56]

8. I think I saw the famous rapper Jihad One Eye in concert once.

[tclambert]

9. Ah, the "My big brother made me do it" defense. A classic.

Not sure how that works in court. Yet, perfectly understandable to all of us with big brothers.

[Junkpet]

14. If you've been paying any attention...

...you'll have heard/read that the older brother was the loser extrovert manipulator and hero/father figure to the younger, introverted brother. It doesn't take much thought or knowledge about human behavior to understand how this would happen. Additionally, his cooperation doesn't get him off the hook, though (I hope) it may get him off death row. All in all, there's no reason not to believe him (again behavioral psych 101) since he's got nothing to gain one way or another. In fact, in terms of family honor and respect (two of the very few things he actually has control over) he may have more to lose by cooperating.

10. Why would they believe anything this kid says? nt

[tavalon]

13. Because he wants to plea down from a death penelty?

I don't this, just speculating.

[brett_jv]

16. Because even a casual perusal of what we 'know' about them

From recent articles, and interviews with people who knew them, plus the most likely 'dynamics' between 19 y.o. and 26 y.o. brothers ... taken in total, it most likely suggests exactly what he's saying.

There's always (okay, probably like 99% of the time) a 'mastermind' and a 'follower' in these types 'killer duo' situations.

I'd be the first one to call 'bullshit' on some terrorist asshole, but I think in this particular case, I'd bet money this is the reality. It just makes sense, given what we know about them, and typical human nature with regards to sibling relations.

[olddad56]

19. who says that they do believe him, but, the more he talks the better.

and the media just wants you and I to believe everything they say about this story to keep it in the forefront as long as they can. By next week, the right wing will be blaming the left and visa versa. Faux new will be be stirring thing sup on their side and MS NBC will be doing the same on their side.

[Demonaut]

15. Worst op headline ever!

[octothorpe]

17. Headline fail.

There was a link at the top of the front page of Huffington Post Sunday night to the Buzzfeed article.
And the police are now looking to see if there is a connection between the two brothers and the unsolved murders.
So, this story has some legs.




Edited to add...

Police in Waltham, Mass. have begun to look at the role deceased Boston Marathon bombings suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev may have played in a brutal 2011 triple-murder, according to reports.

The Boston Globe and ABC 5 have both reported that Waltham police are stepping up their efforts to crack the still-open homicide and exploring a possible connection to Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old bombing suspect who was killed Thursday night during a tense shootout with authorities.

"We are looking at a possible connection with the suspect in the marathon atrocity and this active and open homicide in Waltham,'' Stephanie Guyotte, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex County District Attorney, told ABC 5.
