Boston Blast | Suspect Twitter Account Unveiled

Suspect of Boston Bomb Blast Revealed

One of the brothers is suspected to be after the Boston bombings posted on Twitter in the hours and days after the blast.

Just after some hours of the Boston Marathon Bombings, one of the suspected brothers blamed of executing the attack encourged his followers on Twitter to "stay safe people". While hunting for suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, attention of the authorities went on the social media account of the 19 years old for clues about his potential motivation for apparently setting bombs which killed 3 people and wounded more than 180 people. Within the 24 hours of arresting his 26 year old brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and suspected helper Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police. Dzhokhar's friends confirmed that he was an active Twitter user while tweeting under the handle @J_tsar. "Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people," he tweeted at 8:04pm on Monday, just hours after Boston was rocked by twin explosions that police say he set with his brother. He tweeted a dozen messages and tt was one of a those messages when he posted on Twitter in the hours and days after the tragedy.

A tweet one week prior to the blasts may have offered cryptic hints at what was to come: "If you have the knowledge and the inspiration all that's left is to take action," @J_tsar tweeted on April 8. "Tat my name on you girl so i know it's real oh and make sure to spell it right, its spelled Dzhokhar," he posted on May 5. His followers climbed up to more than 75,000 in just some hours after he was named a prime suspect. A perusal of the 1,099 tweets posted by @J_tsar portray an everyday kid with a wide variety of interests: sports, hip-hop lyrics, girls, Islam, cars and TV shows like Breaking Bad. His Twitter page is adorned with the emblem of the FC Anzhi Makhachkala football team, in the southern Russian region of Dagestan where, according to his uncle, Dzhokhar was born. But in one of the post-bombing tweets was a hair-raising response to a fellow Twitter user. "What 'god hates dead people?' Or victims of tragedies? Lol those people are cooked," @J_tsar wrote. The final message on his account is a retweet on Wednesday of a comment by Mufti Ismail Menk of Zimbabwe. Menk later condemned the Boston attacks on his own Twitter feed, saying "the perpetrators must face justice".
