RBEAKING: AP sources: Boston bomb suspects from Russia region near Chechnya, lived in US at least 1 year. -SS

Huh. Russians or Chechnyans? Very important distinction to be made here.

 

[Joel Was Right]

This is very unexpected.

It is. I don't think i've ever heard of Chechnyan fighters going abroad for terrorism. They are usually concentrated on their regional conflict against the Russians

 

[Jburton]

Chechen?

 

[JohnTinker]

PETE WILLIAMS HAS NAMES

BROTHERS

DOB 1993

 

[Coldsnap]

Lol at some of these cop's one liners.

Has anyone ever hungout with cops on duty? They are walking one liners. My dad was a fireman/ems and they would give each other shit all day with snark. Some jokes bad, but they would occasionally hit a home run.

 

[numble]

Brothers. Media has their names.

Andrew Kaczynski ‏@BuzzFeedAndrew 7s
NBC: "I was gonna tell you there names but now I have to hold off on them."

Names are known, but NBC can't release them yet. Come on, NBC!

 

[SmokeMaxX]

So if they are Russian. That means Sunil has been cleared?

That seems true, BUT his uncle hasn't been cleared yet. Still awaiting confirmation on that.

Being Russian does not mean Russia is behind this. Going to nip that in the bud.

This shouldn't have to be said, but on a similar front... Being from Pakistan doesn't mean Pakistan is behind this. Being Indian doesn't mean India is behind this. Being Iranian doesn't mean Iran is behind this.


Oh shit we going Arkansas now?

 

[MThanded]

there has been so much bullshit associated with this case we should probably wait on any details. People have been jumping the gun on everything.

 

[Jburton]

It is. I don't think i've ever heard of Chechnyan fighters going abroad for terrorism. They are usually concentrated on their regional conflict against the Russians

Not true, plenty of Chechen fighters went to Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

[Magni]

.

Refugee status?

 

[Gattsu25]

People are curious. You don't need to assume that there is malice or a political agenda behind speculation.

I'm not. I would actually prefer if there were a media blackout on any trial and these guys are never given the opportunity to have their message spoken. let's focus on the victims and not the killers, for once.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Does it matter? Why does the race or political identity or religious affiliation have to be proven at all? Whoever these people are, it's not like they are true representatives of that nationality/religion/political ideology.

It's equally naive to assume that they represent nothing more than their own insanity as it is to assume they represent everything about that group. For example, it's not like there aren't state-sponsored terrorist groups in operation around the world. If you know that these people are from group X, that may well have huge international relations repercussions.

 

[Coldsnap]

'stop talking about Sunil' mod thread title edit pls

Why? It's fucked up and should be brought to attention.

 

[theignoramus]

Looks like we'll be setting up some Russian internment camps soon.

chechans arent ethnically Russian. its a region Russia has sovereignty over.

 

[statham]

PETE WILLIAMS HAS NAMES

BROTHERS

DOB 1993

wow

 

[CRS]

I still can't believe it's taken this long but it makes sense since explosives are involved.

 

[MThanded]

PETE WILLIAMS HAS NAMES

BROTHERS

DOB 1993

That contradicts the DOB we got for Suspect 1 earlier. This all sounds like FUD at this point.

We got a 91 DOB. Unless they are twins they probably werent born in the same year.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

open garage door?

 

[benjipwns]

this is so like wtf now

 

[Persona7]

1993...younger than me.

 

[Charrettizard]

Confirmed: these men have some sort of nationality.

 

[tajd]

They're brothers ?

not very brotherly if he ran over him with a car

 

[dripdripsplash]

Not true, plenty of Chechen fighters went to Afghanistan and Iraq.

And Syria for that matter.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

souuurrcceee

They just said it on NBC news. He was about to read off their names, but someone buzzed into his ear not to. He just said they were brothers, Chechnian, and DOB 1993.

 

[FalconSabre]

Is Pete Williams NBC's top reporter now or something? He's getting all kinds of information first tonight for some reason.l

 

[Ashes]

garage door broken into overnight.

 

[Realyn]

chechans arent ethnically Russian. its a region Russia has sovereignty over.

Do you think american people will care about that fact?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Confirmed: these men have some sort of nationality.

No. Way. where's your source

 

[Evlar]

That contradicts the DOB we got for Suspect 1 earlier. This all sounds like FUD at this point.

We got a 91 DOB. Unless they are twins they probably werent born in the same year.

Yeah.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Holy shit, what the fuck? Just woke up to this.

 

[Diggeh]

I've reached my limit. Need sleep. I pray they'll catch him soon.

 

[EliCash]

Brothers? And this chase started at a gas station? Can only end in a vampire bar.

 

[Black Mamba]

Andrew Kaczynski ‏@BuzzFeedAndrew 1m
NBC: One suspect was born in 1993 and has a Massachusetts driver license.

.

 

[ICKE]

They are definitely radical islamists if the report regarding Russia is true.

Hard to trust the media though, all things considered.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

The Sunil thing hasn't been disproved and the Russian thing hasn't been proved. Nothing should be taken off the table yet. Dude at NBC was trying to claim they were from Turkey or something. Nobody knows jack; they're just pulling stuff from the aether.

 

[I'm new be nice]

Confirmed: these men have some sort of nationality.

What?! I thought the internet was suppose to abolish nationality!! This is an outrage!

 

[MThanded]

They are brothers and not twins but born in the same year. #comeonson

 

[dripdripsplash]

This thread is going crazy fast. Chill people.

 

[Magni]

Confirmed: these men have some sort of nationality.

That's more than UBL could say.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I keep drifitn off.. I think im finally gonna go to sleep.

[Vire]

Jesus, this is all so surreal.

I can't believe it's actually them....Why on earth would they stay in the Boston area?

Just woke up to the news, hope they catch Suspect 2 soon.

 

[The Albatross]

Chechnyan's and Russian's have a very unhappy history...

[just adding to your post]

Yeah... I mean... Chechnya is only Russian by geography. They've also been in civil war for nearly 30 years

 

[goomba]

The 9/11 terrorists being Saudi arabian didn't seem to matter one bit to the US ..
