The Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is on the run, had an active Twitter account, @J_Tsar, confirmed as authentic by sources to BuzzFeed and to Dubai journalist Jenan Moussa earlier Friday, as reported by NBC News.
Two hours after the Boston Marathon bombing, suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev tweeted, "Ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people" - and a day later said he was "stress-free."
The Twitter account (handle: @J_tsar), which borrowed heavily from song lyrics by the likes of Eminem and Jay-Z, has not been active since Wednesday, when Tsarnaev retweeted a post by a Muslim scholar: "Attitude can take away your beauty no matter how good looking you are or it could enhance your beauty, making you adorable."
Tsarnaev's Twitter feed is full of typical teenage banter, pop culture quotes and jokes, but the tweets he made in the days before and after the bombing are now being parsed for extra meaning.
His "stay safe" tweet -- which drew from the Jay-Z song title "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)" -- came at 5:34 p.m. on Monday. A few hours later, he wrote, "There are people that know the truth but stay silent & there are people that speak the truth but we don't hear them cuz they're the minority."
A few hours later came this declaration: "I'm a stress free kind of guy."
