The Russian government withheld intelligence from the US on one of the Boston Marathon bomb suspects that may have led to further scrutiny before last year's attack, US media report.

In 2011 Russian officials warned the FBI about ethnic Chechen Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was a US resident.

But Russia declined requests for more information on him, the reports say.

I don't remember us publicly dismissing any warning.

Time to face facts, Putin and the Kremlin helped kill all those people. And nothing anyone will say will change that.
