A classmate confirmed to Buzzfeed that a Twitter account apparently used by suspected bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev as recently as Wednesday was indeed Tsarnaev’s real feed.
The suspect’s account, which seemed more interested in rap lyrics, pop culture, and smoking than anything else, featured a number of tweets posted after the April 15 bombing.
This one, posted hours after the attack, references the chorus of Jay-Z’s 2001 song “Heart Of The City (Ain’t No Love).”
Ain’t no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people

The most recent original tweet is from Wednesday:
I’m a stress free kind of guy

Another tweet from January references terrorism:
I don’t argue with fools who say islam is terrorism it’s not worth a thing, let an idiot remain an idiot

In general, it looks like a fairly common teenager’s feed. But it’s not hard to spot posts that might appear ominous in retrospect.
