Re: Boston Marathon
On custody? Shot dead you mean. The 'black hat' bombing suspect was killed, an MIT Police officer is dead, another officer is in critical condition, and the 'white hat' suspect is hiding somewhere in Watertown, (they think). The suspects robbed a 7-11 in Cambridge, shot an MIT officer in his cruiser, carjacked a Mercedes suv, threw explosive devices at pursuing police when the Merced was spotted in Waterton. State police say they'll give another briefing in an hour. By the time it starts getting light.... update - police say they're finding bombs outside now (2, at least 1 a pressure cooker. A 20 block perimiter area is cordoned off while police search house by house. Edit: they've got the front of some big commercial building floodlit now north of the Arsenal Mall but the reporter on the scene says he could be anywhere. 2nd edit: the commercial bldg not focus, the bomb squad seems interested in a vehicle there - the cameras are really blocks away so hard to tell what they're doing. The town is full of cops and swat teams and bomb squads for the last 4 - 5 hrs and the sun will come up soon.
Note to self - must do better (dilligaf?)

Re: Boston Marathon
Great investigative work by all those tasked to find the bombers.
So at the moment one dead one on the run.
Both were legally admitted to the USA and had permanent resident status.
So really at the end of the day nobody saw this coming and nothing could have been done to prevent this tragic event.

Re: Boston Marathon
Everybody says they were nice guys, they didn't seem to have any grudges, totally under the radar. Why? Do they think the US should be trying to gain independance for Chechnya? With no manifesto or demands maybe there is no connection to anything overseas and they dreamed the plot up on their own. They may have picked up their fieldcraft in the Russian Army. The runner has to eat and sleep sometime and the word is definately out. No Amtrak on the Eastern seaboard. There was 1 little item on Boston tv before I had to go to work that the runner may be in a grey Honda CRV with Mass plates, but I only saw that once. Maybe one went missing from the area last night.

Re: Boston Marathon
They just said on CNN that both were American citizens by naturalisation since last year and that they came about 8 years ago. I think there is still a lot of contradicting info out there and we'll get all the information once this is over. The officials are doing a great job.
caretaker I'll suggest you for "independent reporter of the year. Took me watching telly for hours to get the info you gave us on here.

A grudge regarding arrest of mother? But doubt it

Re: Boston Marathon
Is it possible their actions have nothing to do with anything other than gaining some kind of perceived status and infamy?

Re: Boston Marathon
The aunt just did a press conference. She's brilliant. 
She's back at it, scolding the jouros standing around.

Re: Boston Marathon
What evidence is she talking about? Grenades being thrown out of a stolen car? Or a dead cop? It must be hard for the family. If there have never been any signs it must be hard to understand what's going on.

Re: Boston Marathon
Ironic though that they attacked the people of the very same country that gave them shelter and accepted them as refugees. The aunt did her best but I still didn't get their family history of brothers coming with wives, some moving on to Canada, some moving back. Hope they find the younger brother soon and alive and he'll shed some light on the why.
