Officials of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the full House of Representatives are scheduled to receive a briefing by the FBI on Tuesday, on the issue of the suspects in the Boston bombings.

According to News Max, Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado released a statement on Monday asking for information on why the FBI, having already interviewed the older Tsarnaev brother, did not handle the threat better.

"There are many questions I want answered, such as how and when the suspects became radicalized, details of the FBI's initial investigation into Tamerlan Tsarnaev's activities, the nature of the terrorist threat in southern Russia, and more information on our counterterrorism cooperation with Moscow," Udall says.

Voice of America wrote that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had traveled to Dagestan and Chechnya in 2012, and lawmakers are asking for info on his activities.

As I have mentioned earlier, sources are saying that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is blaming his brother for the attacks, defending himself by claiming that he had only been enforcing Tamerlan's plan.
