Police believe the pair were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack

The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.

Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack.

More than 1,000 FBI operatives were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.

My Comment: Even though Russia's Islamic insurgent groups are distancing themselves from the Boston Marathon bombing .... it appears that the FBI is working on the assumption that the brothers did not act alone.

Update #1: With the exception of Drudge .... no other major news organization is reporting on this story .... for now.
