Thousands of armed police were this afternoon scouring Boston for suspected bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (pictured right) as it emerged that he posted a chilling message on Twitter eight months ago where he wrote: 'Boston marathon isn't a good place to smoke'. Today's stand-off followed a dramatic night in which the two suspects killed MIT campus police officer Sean Collier, 26, and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle that left his older brother Tamerlan (left) dead. The tweets suggest the level of forethought and planning that the 19-year-old Chechen immigrant and his brother allegedly put into the devastating attack on Boston which killed three people, including at eight-year-old boy, and left 176 in hospital.
