Which sparked a few rehashes of the Tsaernov (the bomber) case. In actual fact, the Russians tipped us off the the Tsaernov's were mixed up with Chechen terrorists, in fact had visited Chechnia and attended a terrorist training camp. US authorities botched the tip. Tsaernov was never investigated. The feds didn't bother to talk to the Cambridge police (Tsaernov lived in Cambridge). Fox News has been complaining that the Boston police were never notified. Forget that. Boston is another town. I doubt a Boston cop would even know where Webster Avenue is, let alone know anyone to talk too in the neighborhood. Whereas the Cambridge cops, local boys all, probably have a couple of guys on the force who went to high school with the Tsaernov brothers, or who lived on their street.
Anyhow, we blew a solid tip from the Russians.
