Zaimi and Barhoum
are both Moroccan immigrants. Zaimi graduated from Revere High School
outside of Boston, and Barhoum – who works at Subway – is currently a
student at that school. Barhoum calls Zaimi his “track coach”.
Zaimi looks scary in the photo, but other pictures of him and Barhoum make them look harmless:
They both vigorously deny that they are the bombers, and have turned themselves in to investigators in order to clear their names.
ABC News reports:
Federal law enforcement sources told ABC News they are no longer seeking information about Barhoun or the other man in the photo published in the Post.>>http://www.globalresearch.ca/fbis-main-boston-terrorist-suspects-turn-themselves-in-appear-innocent/5332064
The Boston Bombings in Context: How the FBI Fosters, Funds and Equips American Terrorists, By James Corbett Global Research, April 17, 2013, GRTV
.. Within hours of the blast, fear spread
throughout the international Muslim community that the bombing would be
connected to an Islamist extremist. A Libyan Twitter user touched a
nerve—and received thousands of retweets and worldwide media coverage—by
tweeting “Please don’t be a ‘Muslim.’” The backlash began shortly thereafter, with the New York Post falsely implying that a Saudi national was being questioned for his possible role in the attack. The next day, a plane departing Boston Logan Airport returned to the gate and two passengers were forcibly removed because they had been overheard speaking Arabic before takeoff.
.. As data continues to pour in regarding the bombing and who may be behind it, it is instructive to take a moment to step
back and consider this knee-jerk tendency to conclude that this is the
work of Islamic radicals. In the minds of millions of Americans, bombs
targeting innocents on US soil are inextricably linked with the image of
the bearded, turban-wearing boogeyman that has become the shorthand for
evil in this age of terror.
.. In November 2010 the FBI busted the so-called Portland Christmas Tree
Bomber, who was allegedly attempting to bomb the lighting ceremony at
Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square. “The threat was very real,” the
FBI intoned
at the time. “Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely
committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale.” The alleged
bomber, Arthur Balizan, turned out
to be a teenager who bragged to undercover agents that he could get a
gun because he was a “rapper” and wrote an article on workout tips for
jihadis.
