The Prosecution Revealed That The Boston Bomber May Have Had A Secret Twitter

Prosecutors in the Boston Marathon bombing case claim to have found Tsarnaev's second, secret twitter account from which he tweeted Islamic-themed messages.

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.

I want the highest levels of Jannah, I want to be able to see Allah every single day for that is the best of pleasures #islam #alfirdaus

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.

Listen to Anwar al Awlaki's (a shaheed iA) the here after series, you will gain an unbelievable amount of knowledge #islam #muslim

This is the account's last tweet:

It's our responsibility my brothers & sisters to ask Allah to ease the hardships of the oppressed and give us victory over kufr #islam #dua

"[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.

Never underestimate the rebel with a cause

This tweet was posted from his account two hours after the attack on April 15, 2013:

Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people

There are people that know the truth but stay silent & there are people that speak the truth but we don't hear them cuz they're the minority

Defense attorney Conrad said that many of the account's tweets were quotes from TV shows and rap songs.

"September 10th baby, you know what tomorrow is. Party at my house!" #thingsyoudontyellwhenenteringaroom

Conrad said this was a line from a Tosh.0 sketch about "things you don't yell."

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.

I'm a stress free kind of guy
