Conspiracy Theory: Who Caused the Boston Marathon Bombing?

ILLUSTRATIONS Felipe Watanabe

Two brothers were blamed for the bombs that exploded at that event, on April 15, 2013. But not everyone believes this explanation…

0 – open

1) Above reproach

Photos from moments before and after the explosions show at least five uniformed men, carrying backpacks similar to those attributed to the perpetrators of the attack. In addition to the suspicious look, which looks like military clothing, some carried a type of detector device, something unusual for the occasion. None of them, however, were investigated by the police.

1 – 5 men in uniform

2) The boss is dead

They are believed to be from Craft International, private security company providing services to the government. The attack would be a way to stimulate the “war on terror”, guaranteeing more contracts to the company. It could also be retaliation for the murder of Craft founder Chris Kyle that took place two months earlier – an alleged file burning.

3 – fake hero

3) Fake hero

Photos of the rescue of Jeff Bauman, one of the injured who became an icon for the survivors, also generated controversy. Jeff is shown being carried, conscious and flushed, in a Wheelchair clean, leaving no traces of blood. All this makes no sense to anyone who would have lost both legs during a violent explosion. Another argument in favor of the hoax: the blood shown in the photos appeared to be lighter than the correct tone

4 – actors

4) Who is who?

Conspirologists claim that Bauman, in fact, would be Nick Vogt, a former military man who actually lost his legs, but during the Afghan War. Vogt would have been paid to impersonate Bauman, with whom he is very similar, to help in the illusion of the attack – the bombs were smoke, the wounded were actors, etc. The reason? Maintaining the “War on Terror”

5 – tarmelan and dzhokhar tsarnaev

5) Backfired

Tarmerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were pointed out as responsible for the crime, with strictly personal motivations. However, the Israeli website Debka File claims the brothers were agents hired by Saudi Arabia and the US to infiltrate jihadist networks in Russia’s Caucasus region. But something got out of hand and they converted to religious radicalism.

6) Undead

A CNN video purportedly shows Tamerlan being detained by police, naked and uninjured – which contradicts the information released by the government that he was killed by officials during the investigation. Another oddity: Police say they found Dzhokhar with serious injuries, but photos from the bust show him healthy

7 – abdilrahman ali alharbi

7) And the Saudi?

The website infowars raised another curious fact. the saudi student Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi, injured in the explosions, was initially named by the press as a suspect. After an alleged meeting between the Saudi Arabian ambassador and Barack Obama, investigations into the boy ended. Rumor has it that Michele Obama visited him in the hospital

EXPLAINING THE TRUTH

Confusion on Twitter and videos overturns theories

– Extensive investigations concluded that the Tsarnaev brothers were to blame for the two explosions that killed three people and injured 282

– Tamerlan was killed four days after the attack, during the police search. The next day, Dzhokhar was located and arrested. He must answer 30 criminal charges related to the attack and death of a police officer.

– CNN video shows another suspect being arrested, not Tamerlan

– The blood tone in the photos may have been misrepresented by newspaper printing or even cameras

– Website claims Debka File It is infowars have never been supported by concrete evidence

– Some of the theories that the attack was a hoax came from a newspaper postboston globe on twitter. It said there would be a controlled explosion in front of the library, which was understood by some to be premeditation of the bombs. But the message was simply misinterpreted by someone in a different time zone.
