Explosions at the Boston Marathon

That's the weird thing - if he was injured/bleeding, dogs should be able to relatively easily pick up that scent unless it's been raining there?

poor uncle Alvi is being hounded to death, he needs an agent

'what will happen, they will kill him"

'i never see them, we both not talking, what can I tell him, they children with parents , relationship when young."

No rain, maybe a short sprinkle overnight last night. Supposed to be heavy rain moving in overnight tonight.

CBS is saying he threw a pressure cooker bomb but that the lid fell off when he threw it.

Everything about this family is really odd to me and very unlike all other immigrant families I've known (and having immigrated myself as a child, I've known many). Typically, in the "new country" people tend to stick together, stay close, etc because they don't have external emotional supports or friends. But here you have this family, various aunts and uncles, none of whom have been in touch with these kids for at least 8+ years. Moreover, at least one of the sisters has also had no contact with her brothers for years. Really peculiar.

With all the explosive supplies, nails and ball bearings they bought they must have run out of cash before heading to Home Depot for duct tape.

Time to head home, hopefully by the time I jump back on here whitehat will be in custody.

my guess this is/was a falling out with the parents (siblings) over money
or maybe their mom is the black sheep that got the boys cut off from the rest of the family, the father is in the old country
I know blood (family) is usually stronger than water (money), but not always

this is not Chechen terror against America
no such thing

Chechen terror would be directed at Russia or Putin.

my extended family is just like that - immigrant family in the UK, all (apart from me, nice and peaceful in another country LOL) living within 20 miles of each other and not seeing/speaking to each other... constant family feuds and fall-outs between the aunt/uncle/parent generation, and all of that generation seriously as mad as cats (although the younger generation, i.e. cousins, are mostly pretty stable and lovely and get on very well, and many of us younger generation are estranged from the older generation) - it would seriously be a NIGHTMARE if any of my family did something media-worthy LOL

It's from the DailyFail so take with a gigantic grain of salt, but Tamerlan's wife is named Katherine Russell and she's from Rhode Island.

According to the story, she and Tamerlan used to visit all the time. She moved home without him a year ago.

that "expert" validates what I wrote

Chechens' main target has been Russia not the United States, and while they are Muslim, their conflict has been as much if not more a nationalistic one. After a bloody civil war broke out in 1994 where Chechens tried to gain independence Russia prevailed. Since then some of the most spectacular terrorist attacks in recent history have been committed against Russian targets by Chechen nationalists, many of whom are women.

he seems legit

It took me a while to see Batman too. Although, I though Batman was in LA since this is currently parked on campus at USC.

I hope you and yours stay safe
if I recall, you are married,
so you are familiar with "controlled explosions".

[dazzledbylight]

not sure i remember or that maybe i remember it being later than it was that chechnian war back then but did know that chechnian rebels have continued actions in the Moscow area off & on...

after suspecting really (usa) right-wing types, possibly right-wing Islamists, the thought popped in my mind early eve yesterday Eastern European ? don't know why.

Good Luck to anyone in the Boston Mewgalopolis area here with us (of course in general, too!
