Capt’n Ed has put together a must-read aggregation of the information being reported about the Boston Marathon Bombers possible link to a sleeper cell. It is thoughtful, thorough, and restrained in it’s speculations.

He links to pictures of the two men published in the New York Daily News, which may be found here.
This next bit of news is rather interesting:
Interestingly, this time the FBI and DHS didn’t come alone. A consular vehicle from an unidentified nation also arrived, and transported two women out of the complex after the arrests took place:

The van left with two women, neither of whom appeared to be restrained. One was carrying a pink backpack as she exited the apartment and ran into the van, which sped away as the women told reporters they did not wish to comment.
We noted the brief detention of two men and a woman on Friday afternoon, but the FBI left after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was apprehended in Watertown….
