Menino preparing to speak. Oh yeah, that could be fun. Hopefully he tries to pronounce the names of the suspects.

Missing anything important?

 

[snogger]

I understand that if the Mayor is about to give a update you'd want a few cops around.. But they have 20+ standing here now waiting for the Mayor. He was suppose to make a statement about 20 minutes ago so maybe new details are coming in.. <<<<<<Statement just started

If you're not getting this you should check it out. Guy is amazing. Kind of funny, to be completely honest. He's mad at everyone and everything, especially his relatives.

Kyrgystan makes a lot more sense, especially if he then went for training in Chechnya.

Speculation: Maybe from the point of view of a potential terrorist puppet master, a Kyrgyzstani passport is considered "cleaner" than a Russian one showing a point-of-origin in Chechnya?

Does anyone think the old man may have been a hostage take and forced to wear the vest? Or have i watched too many movies?

Can't believe they were that hot for 7-11. How stupid...

Must have been desperate for cash.

I think the 7-11 was the location of a car-jacking....it is not clear that they actually robbed it.

this is all wrong. maybe instead of worrying about tea party comments made on page 4 you should follow the story?

Seriously. Every major media site you can think of has a timeline. It's weird that people think this thread is the best way to catch up.

The thread is awesome, but that's because there's lots of us watching lots of different networks and other outlets and we can post what they say in real time. If you want to know about stuff that happened more than 5 minutes ago, look elsewhere.

Trying to keep this thread as an update for those late to the party.

Great idea

 

[ATC1]

Man, I'm lost.

Me too, what the #### is going on. Do they have this guy surrounded or not? What the #### with the trains and the schools and stuff?

Police are panicked that there could be more people out there with bad intentions. They are stopping anything that looks suspicious.

Feel sorry for the guy. Really seems to believe in the American Dream and is pissed off at these two as much or more than any of us.

what does this mean? trying to get caught up on all of this.

The night the FBI releases their photos they decide to rob a 7-11. ####in nuts

RUSLAN!

CRV was used to drive them to the site of the carjacking, and a suspect drove off in it. It was later abandoned and recently recovered in Cambridge.

(per Police on local CBS coverage)

 

[KCitons]

Does it look like the cops are leaving that "old man" scene in mass?

 

[Doug B]

This seems to be pretty much true of most terrorists and major crimiinals -- can't get traction on a legit life, so there's a great temptation to get bitter and go rogue.Or get talked into joining a terrorist cell.

Police asked people to stop tweeting updates, so many have. Scanner is really all to work with right now.

This is the REAL twitter account of this guy. I think he really got in deep with his older brother these last few months. I am starting to feel sorry for the guy and hope he turns himself in soon. Yeah, he has to face the consequences for his actions, but he's 19 and obviously been quite brain-washed.

Uh he retweeted something 59 minutes ago?

THERE LOSERS

Man these bombers are scumbags but their uncle is okay by me

Scene cleared in Cambridge.. Suspect not found near the restaurant where shots were thought to have been heard.

I'm not sure I'd think that. Kyrgystan has a lot of ties to terrorist groups that hate the U.S., at least last I checked.

Uncle is clearly the breakout star of this mess

Hang on - so there was a car chase last night with explosions and gunfire and one dead suspect and the other guy got away? How does that happen?

Is Tsarni (the uncle) living in Russia, the U.S., or elsewhere? His English is excellent.

I have nothing against you DD. I don't even remember an exchange between us that I could hold a grudge against you with. I just notice how you can be "not excellent" to other people at times. There's no need for that here.

Thanks for that. Had to couch my take as speculation because I wasn't sure.

I always thought the biggest problem child in Central Asia was Tajikistan, which is basically North Korea Part II but with way less attention on it.

House of the Uncle who's address was given out is surrounded by reporters.. Police are there also, either interviewing him, or there to protect him since his address was announced on live TV.

CRAP

No way he has gotten out of the area.. He is holed up somewhere in the area, we just have to hope they find him before he makes his next move.
