"Disturbing Video Emerges," by M R Freda, The Daily Mail, March 6, 2014:

Meanwhile, MailOnline has also found footage showing the flag of jihad hanging in the Cambridge, Massachusetts home shared with the Tsarnaev family.

The startling video was discovered while investigating images and video posted by the 'Free Jahar' community – who are fighting to clear the name of Tamerlan's brother Dhozkhar, who is currently in custody awaiting trial for his part in the mass killings. He has pleaded not guilty.

The flag used by Al Qaeda is visible at the end of a short video clip showing Dhzokhar Tsarnaev with his niece, daughter of Tamerlan and Katherine.

In it, he is teasing the baby, and as he says 'give me a kiss.'The flag, which was identified by a federal expert who examined the video, is visible behind her.

It is often called the Black Standard and has the shahada - a creed that declares in the oneness of God written on it. The flag started appearing on Islamist websites since 2001.
