So, the uncle keeps changing his story about the last time he spoke to them? He's displaying far more outrage than family members typically do in these situations? His brother is threatening retaliation against the U.S.?
Yep, the uncle is the ringleader.

Fennis, if convenient:
Would you mind asking the Russian fellow if he meant that the brothers are Kyrgyzstani because they've adopted the Russian ending "-ev" to the original Chechen name "Tsarni" (Uncle Ruslan's last name). From what I can gather, the Kyrgyz have mostly adopted Russian endings for their surnames.
TIA

Sorry if I missed, but do we know if they were 1st identified via the 7-11 incident or previously from response to the pics put out by FBI yesterday?

Assuming this turns out to be some Chechnyans conducting a terrorist attack on a highly publicized U.S.-based event as a way to highlight their cause ...but in doing so, they happen to kill a Chinese citizen. So now you've ticked off the Chinese, and that could really backfire on them.

No. I don't think press is allowed close enough to get video.
Mentioned on the scanner.

It's a message board. Nothing that happens here is remotely the same as being punched.

Yeah, that's why I was pointing out how stupid it was to use you as an example.

from what I can tell:
their pictures were released yesterday by the FBI.
then they robbed the 7-11.
then they shot the MIT cop (read a report today that they ambushed him last night, I read speculation they were trying to plant a bomb on campus)
then there was a carjacking and shootout. on the scanner last night, the police were using different names for them so they thought they were 2 different guys.
their true identities weren't released until early this morning.

Best joke of the thread. Of the week in fact.

Old man with the bomb update? Did he have one? Been dismissed?

Would love to hear a source on this, the media have gotten things so completely wrong I don't trust a whole lot of what they are reporting.

Best move it to assume it's not him until confirmation otherwise. There's been at least two accounts people have wrongly attributed to him so far, probably will be more.

WBZ Radio is reporting that the brother that will die later today is a student at UMass-Dartmouth
I have heard that the Chechnyan rebels are pretty substantially Muslim, but I'm probably wrong. Still, it wouldn't surprise me to find that they're trying to get back to relevancy.

Agree totally. That's why I'm making sure to include where I'm hearing it and from whom. It's also curious they give the amorphous "Law Enforcement Officials" as the source.

CNN is confirming the twitter account that I posted as his.

Thanks, Aaron. NBC now reporting the older brother was out of the country for six months just last year, so speculating now about possibility of him receiving training then. Believe I read -maybe here- that a friend said he had taken a trip and was "different" when he returned.

It would be sobering to know that AQ -- after having lost bin Laden and so many lieutenants -- still has the wherewithal to switch tactics and recruit Americanized young people. I realize that Al Qaeda is more a set of ideals than a firm organization, but still.
timschochet
Footballguy
No this is true. And it was reported earlier by Yahoo that the brothers have a "Islam world view", whatever that means.

Actually, sounds like it has been dismissed now. Sounds like they are letting press back in the area.

So potentially: Dzhorkar was recruited by Tamerlan, possibly without Dzhorkar ever having travelled overseas for training.

Thanks SW16.
were the Checkins the ones who did all that damage at a movie theatre, or school, some years back?
