Honestly the blast ratio of those bombs makes it unlikely they were "regular" PCBs and they would have required A LOT of black powder to make that big of a blast. There are no PCBs that you "light" perhaps it was a different kind of bomb at the shootout? Theoretically it should have done as much damage as the BM bombs if it was the same. The only "easy" bombs they made were the pipe bombs, those didn't seem to function properly for the brothers which is odd since they're easy & fairly foolproof.

Perhaps Jahar was responsible for the pipe bombs and Tamerlan was responsible for PCB assembly.  I still think he received training and experience making and detonating that type of bomb while in Dagestan.  The reason why two sophisticated PCB’s go off flawlessly at the marathon yet several pipe bombs in Watertown were duds?

The Marathon bombs were constructed using improvised fuses made from Christmas lights and improvised, remote-control detonators fashioned from model car parts. These relatively sophisticated devices would have been difficult for the Tsarnaevs to fabricate successfully without training or assistance from others.

A court filing by federal prosecutors • Discussing the parts that went into the explosive devices used in the Boston Marathon bombing. The issue came up in regards to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s questioning—the surviving suspect in the attack repeatedly asked for a lawyer during his first hours in captivity, but was not given one. Federal investigators argue that they had just cause to question him at the time because the bombs were sophisticated enough that it was believed there were accomplices that helped.  (via shortformblog)

Boat Note (Partial)

The note Tsarnaev wrote in pencil on the in side of the boat where he was found hiding underscored the possible involvement of a terrorist group. Tsarnaev wrote:

I’m jealous of my brother who ha[s] [re]ceived the reward of jannutul

Firdaus (inshallah) before me. I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive. God has a plan for each person. Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions. I ask Allah to make me a shahied (iA) to allow me to return to him and be among all the righteous people in the highest levels of heaven. He who Allah guides no one can misguide. A[llah Ak]bar! The US Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that. As a [UI] I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all. Well at least that’s how muhhammad (pbuh) wanted it to be [for]ever, the ummah is beginning to rise/[UI] has awoken the mujahideen, know you are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven, now how can you compete with that. We are promised victory and we will surely get it. Now I don’t like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but due to said [UI] it is allowed. All credit goes [UI].

Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop.
