#Benghazi: Obama denied aid to attacked consulate – confirmed?
**Posted by Phineas Last November, in a post about the Benghazi consulate massacre and the question of military relief, I wrote about the question of “cross-border authority” – that is, who has the power to order our military to enter another country without their permission, per force an act of war.

#BostonBombing: Did the Saudis warn us ahead of time in writing? UPDATE: Saudi denial?
**Posted by Phineas UPDATE: I’m sticking this at the top because the story’s important enough to warrant it. Now we have a “Saudi official” saying there was a letter, and their embassy in Washington saying no, there wasn’t. So, who’s lying, and why?

Boston Marathon bombing: third bomber suspected?
**Posted by Phineas Fox News’ Catherine Herridge breaks the story: Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports that the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attack did not rely on cell phone detonators, using a “line of sight” speed controller from a remote control toy car as the trigger.

Boston Marathon bombing: terrorism on the cheap, financed by us?
**Phineas I wrote yesterday about questions regarding the Tsarnaev brothers’ financial resources and how they could afford what at first glance appeared to be a comfortable lifestyle and prepare their atrocities without some outside support. Well, it appears they had some help: the taxpayers of Massachusetts. Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded [...]

**Posted by Phineas I mentioned this in yesterday’s post, but there’s a bit more information on the terrorists and their connection with al-Qaeda: Canadian police officials have linked the plotting of two Muslim men to destroy a Toronto passenger train to al Qaeda’s network inside Iran. The two suspects, neither of whom are Canadian citizens, [...]
The Boston Bombers’ finances and their bombs
**Posted by Phineas Via Money Jihad, here’s what’s publicly known of their resources: U.S. News reports that “The larger Tsarnaev family ended up living on public assistance in Cambridge, Mass,” which in context of the article was probably around 2010.

What’s going on with that Saudi “person of interest/no interest?”
**Posted by Phineas I’m not the greatest fan of Glenn Beck (1), but I do think he’s asking some good questions about the Saudi national who, on the day of the Boston Marathon bombing, was held as a “person of interest,” but then declared a nobody but, hey, we’re going to deport him anyway: Background [...]
Boston bombers: Lone wolves or part of a terrorist sleeper cell? UPDATE: “Sleeper cell” malarkey?
**Posted by Phineas One of the questions outstanding in the wake of the terror-bombing of the Boston Marathon is whether the Tsarnaev brothers acted on their own, as “lone wolves,” or were they part of a terror cell that might well be planning other attacks. At the Daily Beast, authors Christopher Dickey, Eli Lake, and [...]
