Today Show (Richard Engel interviewed by Savanah Guthrie) reporting that the group the suspects are linked to is a splinter group of Al-Qaeda

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.

They're fighting a different fight though. Most of their work is local against Russia and/or the majority Orthodox Christians in Georgia. They're not really globally interested. They're fighting for their home.

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.

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.

I wasn't specifically calling you out for a source, more from the media. It will be interesting to see if Al-Qaeda denounces them or claims them.

I believe that was at a hotel.

If it's true about al Qaeda, then it just shows again how fighting these guys is like fighting the mythical Hydra. We have spent countless billions and untold effort over the last decade. We have killed their leader. We have killed their #2 guy several times now. How many times did both Presidents Bush and Obama tell us that this organization was severely weakened thanks to our efforts? And I have no doubt they were sincere.

But this is the problem with terrorism. All it takes is for one or two guys to express sympathy, and willing to kill, and AQ is back in business. We're only lucky that these two brothers weren't willing to die themselves, otherwise the carnage would have been much worse.

Sounds like they lost their map then.

His tweets and pictures are pretty typical. Non-violent jay-z and Eminem lyrics and internet memes.

No this is true. And it was reported earlier by Yahoo that the brothers have a "Islam world view", whatever that means.

I'm fuzzy on that meaning as well, but the fact remains that one guy is still on the loose, and they've shut down Boston to find him.

Anyone recall Obama going around the campaign with the line that AQ had been defeated...

...and the Benghazi happened?

Well, it happened, and then the administration went out of its way to say it was just a video.... and then once dragged through undeniability and being confronted about it, they changed that line.

Well maybe someone at AQ noticed.

Doesn't Al-Qaeda usually accept responsibility/take credit for these things?

Yup. And while we may have hurt their potential to do a large scale attack, both financially and strategically, they will always be capable of these scaled down, yet plenty destructive, attacks. Mother ####ers

On local news report. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was arrested on a domestic call in 2009.

 

[T Bell]

So the uncle is saying they were born and raised in Kyrgyzstan not Chechnya. Kyrgyzstan is a Muslim country with about 80% of the population practicing Islam.

Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the two suspects in the Boston bombings, spoke to CNN on Friday morning. He said the brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhara Tsarnaev grew up in Kyrgyzstan and have been in the U.S. for about 7 or 8 years. He said he was told by his sister-in-law in the morning that Tamerlan was shot and killed.

They're ethnic Chechens, but were from Kyrgyzstan.

Maybe it's more related to being Sunni Muslims.

Cops around a car in Cambridge..Tow truck guy has been trying to get into the car for a few minutes now.. If I'm the cops I walk over, break the window and get along with whatever they are doing with the car.

Police dog now searching the car.

Reporter just said " this could just be an illegally parked car.. Kind of a bad spot and day for that"

"Wai-wai-wai- hold on! I'll move it!... You're a little heavily armed for a meter maid, no?"

That's a quote from Edmund Burke, I believe. I don't understand how someone could believe this and then bomb innocent people.
