The FBI knew Sunday night that the Boston Marathon bombers planned a large Times Square finale to their lethal terror spree but left the NYPD in the dark for days.Dzhokhar revealed that New York City was next on their list of targets Mayor Bloomberg said at a news conference Thursday. He told the FBI apparently that he and his brother intended to drive to New York and detonate additional explosives in Times Square. NYC has the best counter terrorism force in the world. Nobody knew where he was staying in the city or with who.Dzhokhar, who had been at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center after being caught by authorities last week is now being treated at a hospital facility at FMC Devens at Ft Devens in Massachusetts the U.S Marshals Service confirmed  Friday.It is not known when he was moved.The crazy brothers had a homemade pressure cooker bomb like the shrapnel packed brothers used in the April 15 boston attack along with five pipe bombs Kelly said. But their plans for a last terrorist go out in the heart of the nations largest city were shut down by Massachusetts authorities and an empty gas tank in their stolen SUV. The targeting of the Crossroads of the World came before the  brothers made their failed last stand in a 200 shot April 19 gunfight with law enforcement in Watertown Massachussets.The Times Square scheme was made in the madness after the brothers shot and killed MIT Officer Sean Collier three days after the marathon bombing Kelly said. The pair made a “spontaneous decision” to head south after carjacking a Mercedes SUV and taking its owner hostage he said. But the brothers noted the stolen vehicle was low on gas, and stopped to refuel — only to have the SUV owner escape and call police.Tamerlan 26 died after he was riddled with bullets and run over in the ensuing mobile firefight and Dzhokhar was arrested hiding inside a dry docked boat in a Watertown backyard within 24 hours.three spectators were killed in the Patriots Day attack that left more than 200 injured including 14 who lost limbs.
