Of course the dead suspect is a Muslim Russian boxer, because this is a bad '80s movie.

So I know this so far:

(1) Born/from the Chechen part of the Russia, moved to Kazakhstan at a young age, then later moved to the U.S. to study on a student visa.

Given Chechnya demographics, the boys are Sunni Muslim.

So political correctness aside, its likely Islamic terrorism. Oh boy. What the U.S. will have trouble determining is whether there extremism was developed through visits/connections back abroad or through homegrown influences in the U.S.

If it was communication abroad, then we can to call a spade a spade and realize this was a foreign terrorist attack motivated my Islamic extremism.

CNN is saying that the younger brother was a second year medical student

I could be very wrong about this but the news is saying that the oldest brother (Black Hat) was born in Russia and the younger brother (White Hat) was born in Chechnya. This is the part where I could be wrong. 26yrs (age of older brother) ago Chechnya was part of Russia thus the Balck Hat being born in Russia part and if I recall right 19yrs (age of younger brother) ago Chechnya had broken away from Russia and was a nation on its own. Thus the two diffrent birth places given really could be the same location just considered diffrent contries depending on what year a person was born.

So far as I am hearing all of the gunfire and explosions from this morning in Watertown came from the police and military and not from any suspects.

Sounds like they removed the vest from the senior gentleman.

I'm somewhat curious how the Russians will deal with the Chechens before the Winter Olympics at Sochi, considering they could use this incident as a sign of potential unrest for them.

Putin will carpet-bomb Chechnya to keep the Olympics going if he has to.

Reports say that Military helicopters are over Boston.

One of the most grievously injured people from the Marathon was a key witness for the FBI in identifying the suspects:

What an absolute hero that his first thought after regaining consciousness was not of himself.
