Boston blasts: Lapses in American security

Prior to the tragic happenings in Boston, it was believed that the US had almost perfected the art of terror prevention on its soil. We now know how misleading that belief has been.

In early 2012, Russia had warned the US about possible terrorist leanings of one of the two Chechen brothers in Boston. It is reported that the famed FBI did a detailed check on the brother in question, interrogated him and gave him a clean chit. Subsequently FBI did not keep him under any watch.

Shouldn't some head roll in FBI for this costly mistake? Putin has done well to call up Obama on Boston bombings.

Why was America complacent?
