What the hell? The Russians don't have a dog in this terroristic fight. ...or do they?  |

Considering how far behind the curve the AP has been running, and that I haven't heard from our scanner-listeners that the police have changed who they're looking for, I'm going to take it with a huge grain of salt.
They've had what should have been Mulegeta's body for hours, you would think they'd tell the cops in the field they're no longer looking for a South Asian, but a Chechen.

Chechnya is predominantly Muslim and fought two very bitter and nasty wars with Russia which produced a lot of Islamic militants.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Comparing this pic to the surveillance shot up there, and that to Sunil, I'm starting to think I'm going to look really stupid in a few hours.

http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_23060124/police-converge-neighborhood-outside-bostonChechnyans The suspects were identified to The Associated Press as coming from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars. A law enforcement intelligence bulletin obtained by the AP identified the surviving bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old who had been living in Cambridge, just outside Boston, and said he "may be armed and dangerous."
Two law enforcement officials told the AP that Tsarnaev and the other suspect, who was not immediately identified, had been living legally in the U.S. for at least one year.
Heard on the radio that the suspects are brothers.

Compared to that LAPD manhunt recently, the cops in Boston have (as far as I can tell) managed to not gun down any noninvolved persons.

He looks a lot more like Suspect One than Mulugeta ever did. I could delete my pompous pronouncements above before people wake up and see them...but I won't. If it's a failure on my part, I'll own it. --Dave |

I feel bad for the family of the missing guy, because if they haven't found him after the whole internet & FBI looking, it's probably not good news.

Must be serious if Breakingnews.com just retweeted it. Although I doubt it's an 'actual' attack, rather it's thousands of Redditors F5ing like mad men. |

The reddit tech support twitter responded to that and said that it was malicious, not a DDoS of love.

According to his account on the Russian social networking site Vkontakte, Tsarnaev graduated from the Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, a Massachusetts high school, in 2011, and attended School No. 1 in Makhachkala, the capital ofDagestan, from 1999 to 2001.
He appears to have been a good student, having received a a $2,500 scholarship from the city of Cambridge in 2011 to pursue college. He was also named a wrestling all-star at his high school the same year.
On his VKontakte page, Tsarnaev says he considers “career and money” most important in life. As his worldview, he wrote: “Islam”.
The page says Tsarnaev speaks English, Russian and Chechen, and belongs to a number of groups devoted to Chechnya. Dagestan, a republic neighbouring Chechnya, maintains a small Chechen minority.
Tsarnaev was born on 22 July 1993, just before a fierce battle for independence broke out in the republic of Chechnya, attempting to secede from Russia in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. Over time, the independence movement grew increasingly Islamist in character. Largely quashed by Moscow, a low-level insurgency persists in Chechnya and has leaked into neighbouring Dagestan.
On VKontakte, Tsarnaev follows several pages devoted to Islam. He also lists one of his favorite songs as “Hey Sexy Lady” by Shaggy. From the Guardian live blog |

Perhaps their plan did not extend much beyond the marathon bombing, and then they improvised... badly...

Once everyone in the world has your picture, I think you probably just go for setting off a bunch of mayhem and going out in a blaze of glory.

More form the Guardian A YouTube account that appears to have been run by Tsarnaev includes a playlist devoted to “terrorism”, including one video in English titled “The Emergence of Prophecy: The Black Flags from Khorasan. He also maintained a playlist devoted to Islam and one devoted to Timur Mutsuraev, a Chechen singer now in exile who sang of the republic's battle for freedom from Russia.
Tsarnaev's precise background is murky. A teacher at School No. 1 in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, said that the Tsarnaev family lived briefly in the republic before moving to the United States. They had previously lived in Kyrgyzstan, in Central Asia, she said.
Alvi Karimov, a spokesman for Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, said that the family had lived in Kazakhstan, which maintains a large Chechen minority. The Tsarnaevs “moved to a different region of the Russian Federation from Chechnya many years ago”, he told the Interfax news agency.
Tsarnaev appears to have been a competitive boxer, according to a photo report by photographer Johannes Hirn, who photographed Tsarnaev in 2010. Tsarnaev told the photographer that he was born in Chechnya and had been living in the US for five years.
“I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them,” Tsarnaev said.
He also appeared to support Chechen independence: “Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia,” one caption reads.
Tsarnaev presents himself as a devout Muslim, saying he had given up drinking and smoking. “I'm very religious,” he said, explaining why he doesn't take his shirt off while training. The photographs were taken at the Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts centre in Allston, MA. The report says Tsarnaev was a student at Bunker Hill Community College in Charleston, MA.
In 2009, Tsarnaev was reportedly arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. |

I woke up and it sounds like a fucking Michael Bay movie happened.
Gunfights? Car chases? Tossed explosives? Fucking Russian terrorists?

On a semi-related note: Actually quite relieved it was apparently a foreign nutcase, no matter his motivation, than a local crazy.

The reaction of the right wing is predictable; literally crowing that the guys appear to be Islamic/Jihadis, but literally refusing to speak on how white these guys look.
