Or maybe America let them in as Chechnyan refugees and they came to hate how mean Americans are. I can easily relate with that.

Of course everything reported could be BS since it is so early. The older brother was apparently more radical. The younger one involved in the standoff with police was a UMass student at Dartmouth and attended classes this week...crazy.

What's an OWS?


I guess since they were identified as Muslim now we will have to hear all that 'all Muslims are bombers and out to get us' rhetoric.

Since we can never know ahead of time it does not make a lot of sense to let them into the country.

Guess everyone is listening to different newscasts. I heard that it was the older brother who was killed and the younger one is still on the loose.

Lovely people, pray five times a day and murder in between prayers.

Unless he was pissed at the US for helping them. That's possible I suppose. Pride can manifest in strange ways.
Are they not the same group who blew up a school full of kids in Russia?

One of them obviously didn't care when he dropped a backpack with a bomb next to an 8 year old knowing he was about to kill him. Sick, just plain sick lunatics.

According to Russian Times the older brother was a Chechnyan refugee in the US.
