Authorities acted quickly after the bombing tragedy in Boston, cooperating with FBI, viewing security films from marathon area, and identifying suspects, who actually helped police in locating them by making it possible to track them by a cell phone left in the vehicle they hijacked; the owner of which luckily fled. The shootout that ensued left Tamerlan Tsarnaev fatally wounded, and wounded Dzhokhar, who escaped but was later arrested. Police acted quickly in warning residents to stay in their homes, and not to answer their doors unless police identified themselves. Authorities closed down the scene of the bombing until they could scan for other IED devices and clean up debris. With the discovery and arrest of Dzhokhar last week, federal authorities are now investigating a link between Tamerlan’s visit last year to Dagestan area, and a secret bomb-making camp there. Homeland security and FBI may need to better coordinate their databases.
