In February radical Islamist cleric Anjem Choundary urged his followers to use their welfare checks to fund the jihad.
Now this…
Records show the Boston Marathon bombers may have used their EBT cards to fund their terror spree that left 4 dead and 260 injured.
The Boston Herald reported, via FrontPage Magazine:
A mountain of new welfare records shows numerous EBT card cash withdrawals made by the Tsarnaev family, but so far there is no information about how terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev and others may have spent the money.
The EBT receipts were handed over by the state to the House Post Audit and Oversight Committee as part of its probe into the Russian family’s $100,000-plus taxpayer-financed life in the Bay State. The committee met yesterday behind closed doors to review Medicaid and welfare awards.
The purchases show specific stores, but not the items bought. But further details could be available to investigators.
The committee’s request for financial aid records from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth — where marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was a sophomore flunking some classes and owing a reported $20,000 — was rejected, the Herald learned. Federal officials have forbidden the school from releasing any records publicly.
Rafi Ron, a former top Israeli security official and past consultant to Logan International Airport, said the welfare cash could have been enough money to help the Tsarnaev brothers build their pressure-cooker bombs that killed three and injured more than 260 at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15.
Daniel Greenfield added, “Lenin famously said that the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them. But that was when America was still capitalist.”
Today we look like a nation of politically correct fools.
