WATERTOWN, Mass.—Investigators in the Boston Marathon bombing case shifted their focus Saturday to hunting for a motive and preparing charges after apprehending a 19-year-old college student Friday night.

The charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who remained hospitalized with severe injuries, could be filed this weekend, but it might take longer as law enforcement officials continue investigating numerous crime scenes in and around Boston. Investigators were also eager to talk to Mr. Tsarnaev, who was listed in serious condition after being badly injured early Friday morning in a firefight with police officers that left his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, dead.

Investigators have alleged that the two brothers carried out the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three and injured more than 175 on Monday.

Authorities gave no indication of what motivated the brothers. Their family roots stretch to the Russian republic of Chechnya, which has been a wellspring of terrorism over the years.

I’m an Ayn Rand fan but I’m not snapping to what you’re alluding to. I’m probably having a brain-lock here.

So far everything this anonymous guy has said has come true..
"..pin this on male late teens early 20's.."
"..wont find suspect till later this week...raid will occur on Friday"

So far none of that is true. There were two males, not one. There was no raid.

What could the motive have been? Gosh, I don't know. Maybe Islamic Jihad?

Sounds like you're going out on a limb and rushing to judgement there, my friend. Let's just let the experts in our government figure this out, shall we? /s

“Authorities gave no indication of what motivated the brothers. “

Uh, because a very large percentage of the Muslim world hates Western civilization and wants to destroy it, but are too cowardly to do anything about it other than bomb innocent women and children?

She spent a term of her college in Hawaii. I’d be amazed if she never visited the beach then. It must have been a great novelty for an Alaskan. But nary a photo to be seen of it.

Self-flagellation gone awry - they were supposed to be closer to the bombs when they went off. The collateral damage was just a bad miscalculation on their part...

Albrecht Ammon, a downstairs-apartment neighbor of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Cambridge, said in an interview that the older brother had strong political views about the United States. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as “an excuse for invading other conuntries.”

Couldn’t believe this was in an AP story, clearest sign yet that scumbag #1 was a muslim jihadist, they can’t deny it no matter how much they want to
