Marathon Bombers Are Chechen Terrorists

 

 The older brother (in green) is dead

Two Chechen brothers have been identified as the suspects in the Boston marathon bombing. After robbing a convenience store last night they were involved in a hellish shoot out early this morning in Watertown that left one of the brothers and one police officer dead and another officer severely wounded. The surviving suspect, identified as 19 yr. old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, is still at large.

From the Trib Live:

WATERTOWN, Mass. — Two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during their getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left one of them dead and another still at large Friday, authorities said as the manhunt intensified for a young man described as a dangerous terrorist.

The suspects were identified to The Associated Press as coming from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars. A law enforcement intelligence bulletin obtained by the AP identified the surviving bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old who had been living in Cambridge, just outside Boston, and said he “may be armed and dangerous.”

Chechen terrorists have been raising hell for a long time. They are brutal Muslim terrorists who kill indiscriminately. Now will the idiots in the White House and State Department start to show some concern about whom they allow in this country? These brothers have been living in the US legally for over a year.

Will the media now grant Pamela Geller and others like her some credibility? I strongly doubt it.

Even after this turn of events the media still refuses to acknowledge an Islamic context to these outrages. The following list of Chechen atrocities lack any Islamic attribution.

In the past, insurgents from Chechnya and neighboring restive provinces in the Caucasus have been involved in terror attacks in Moscow and other places in Russia.

Those raids included a raid in Moscow in October 2002 in which a group of Chechen militants took 800 people hostage and held them for two days before special forces stormed the building, killing all 41 Chechen hostage-takers. Also killed were 129 hostages, mostly from effects of narcotic gas Russian forces used to subdue the attackers.

Chechen insurgents also launched a 2004 hostage-taking raid in the southern Russian town of Beslan, where they took hundreds of hostages. The siege ended in a bloodbath two days later, with more than 330 people, about half of them children, killed.

Insurgents from Chechnya and other regions also have launched a long series of bombings in Moscow and other cities in Russia. An explosion at the international arrivals hall at Moscow's Domodedovo airport in January 2011 killed at least 31 people and wounded more than 140.

Remember the killing of all those children? The Chechens took an entire school hostage.

The surviving brother has gone to ground. He may have a support infrastructure prepared for him or he may have been wounded in the gunfight. His dead brother allegedly had shrapnel in him from the marathon bombing

UPDATE:
It's not like we haven't been warned about these people.

U.S. Declares Chechen Militant a Terrorist
MOSCOW — Russia on Thursday hailed a decision by the United States to designate the Caucasian insurgent leader Doku Umarov a terrorist, a step announced on the eve of President Dmitri A. Medvedev’s visit to the White House.

The State Department late Wednesday released a statement describing Mr. Umarov, formerly a Chechen separatist commander, as being part of a radical jihadist movement that poses a threat to the United States as well. Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, the State Department’s counterterrorism coordinator, said that Mr. Umarov’s recent attacks on Russian targets “illustrate the global nature of the terrorist problem we fight today.”

UPDATE:
The police have surrounded a house in Watertown, FNC reporting. There have been gunshots.

UPDATE:
It's 0900 and I'll say this, the last Chechen bomb brother is busy receiving his virgins. The cops look like they are standing down; the guns are mostly holstered, they seem to be much more relaxed and there do not appear to be any EMT's responding. I also saw someone putting on an EOD bomb suit so apparently they are sending him in to see if there are any IED's in the dwelling. The SUV the brother carjacked last night has been recovered and impounded. It was all shot up.

UPDATE:
An hour and a half later and still no word. What were the police shooting at? I thought that the reported explosions were flash bangs that the police threw in to stun the suspect. Everyone in the Boston metropolitan area have been told to stay in their homes by the authorities - that's about a million people.

Cops running every whichaway, more gunfire. I am starting to wonder if someone is yanking their chain.

UPDATE:
You have to appreciate just how difficult a situation this is for police. You have multiple agencies (usually operating on different radio frequencies) trying to coordinate their activities. Citizens are highly alarmed and calling in everything that moves. The police have to try to separate the wheat from the chaff w/r/t possible leads, contain the suspect, then apprehend or kill him.

Obviously some of the cops have nervous trigger fingers - I don't blame them. One cop is dead and another in critical condition. The suspect is armed with possibly a 5.56 mm rifle and explosives. Perhaps this area has an improved police digital communications - such as a trunked network radio system that can connect ad hoc working groups as needed. My heart goes out to everyone in the area, cops and citizens. This is no cakewalk, you have no idea how much confusion and contradictory information can disrupt an operation on the scale such as this. Plus, add fatigue as many of these cops probably have been working since yesterday evening when the MIT officer was murdered.

UPDATE:
You may be wondering why the MA State Police are just standing around. They are not the primary responding agency. They were called in to support the locals as needed and are mustered near the scenes where they might be useful. We have used the staties in that capacity several times. It's nice to have them available when the SHTF.
