FBI agent Steve Kimball, who was assigned to analyze confessed Boston Marathon bomber Dzkhokhar Tsarnaev's tweets, revealed on Monday an alleged second Twitter account under the name Ghuraba.
The account's name roughly translates as an Islam-associated word for "strangers." It's linked to one of Tsarnaev's email accounts, and contains exclusively Islamic-themed messages.
The account only has six tweets over the course of two days in March 2013, a month before Tsarnaev and his brother set off the bombs that killed three and injured 260.
The account follows only nine other twitter accounts, all of which are Islam-associated.
Here Tsarnaev's alleged account calls on his followers to listen to Anwar al Awlaki, the American-born, highly influential propagandist for Al Qaeda who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
This is the account's last tweet:
"[Tsarnaev] looked and acted like he was a typical young adult, but the evidence will show that he wasn’t," prosecuting attorney William Weinred said in his opening statement at the Boston Marathon bombing trial.
"He had a side to him that he kept hidden, even from his closest friends."
Kimball also investigated Tsarnaev's known personal account, which is under the now-21-year-old's nickname, Jahar.
This tweet was posted from his account two hours after the attack on April 15, 2013:
Defense attorney Conrad said that many of the account's tweets were quotes from TV shows and rap songs.
Conrad also pointed out that updates had been made to the account after Tsarnaev was arrested on April 20, 2013, indicating that others had access to the Twitter account.
“Jahar spent most of his time on the Internet doing things that teenagers do: Facebook, cars, girls," defense attorney Judy Clarke said in her opening statement last week. "It was [Tsarnaev's brother] who self-radicalized ... Jahar followed him."
The defense seeks to prove that Tsarnaev was not self-radicalized and therefore does not deserve the death penalty.
