A YouTube account identified as belonging to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the name of the suspect in the Boston bombing killed in a shootout with police early Friday morning, posted a series of videos over several months, some of which referred to radical Islamic theology.
According to Mother Jones' Adam Serwer, who examined the account, one of the videos refers to an end-time belief, referred to as "the prophecy of the Black Banners of Khurasan," that's popular in Al Qaeda circles. Another denounces the Harry Potter series for teaching children about paganism. Some of the videos shared through the account are not ideological: one features a chameleon changing colors as different objects are placed next to it.
on a social media site you would get all kinds of viewers, most criminaly inclined feel a need to tell someone, that aside why wasn't there someone who red flagged or as much as i hate to say it i'm sure the FBI randomly searches for such things, bottom line why did none know or if they did step forward?
the guy used his real name looks like he wanted to be noticed but it looks like nobody did. hiding in plain sight seems to have it's advantages.
