NEW YORK REP. PETER KING BELIEVES WE LET BOMBER SLIP BY.

Boston Bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev should have been kept on the FBI radar, according to Rep. Peter King (R-LI). The former chairman of the House Homeland Security Council believes that Tamerlan’s on line rants and extended trips to Russia should have kept him under scrutiny and failing to do so let the Boston bombing suspect slip by undetected. King believes the FBI clearly had information on him and should have watched him closely. “This was an interviewed person and we need to know why (The FBI) didn’t take action.” King says.

Back in 2011, Russian Intelligence informed the FBI that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was becoming a radicalized Muslim, but after interviews the bureau could not pin down any terrorist threats. King will now be writing to US Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller to ask for a detailed explanation.
