It’s almost as if they wanted to get caught.

If they are Chechen, they might be second or third generation Chechen living in Turkey, descendants of Chechens who fled to Turkey.

somebody or multiple somebodies high up is in big trouble if this proves out. Of course everything is deniable by our higher ups. It has been seen to be this way for too long.

“Chechens?? Oof - rough, rough bunch. If that is accurate, it would explain much concerning the ruthlessness and not shying away from a fight.”

Remember, they’re not expecting to get home from this mission.

I cannot take credit for knowing till another FReeper brought that info in discussion. Being reported as true though.

[RedMDer]

Get some well deserved rest.

LOL! Squirrel cells! Cute little things, and someone here a long time ago called them tree rats. Watch out for those raccoons. They can be vicious, especially when wearing Burkas. :D

Time for Issa to go full throttle

People on twitter asking why would these kids do this.
They apparently don’t pay attention to how much Muslims hate America.

[no-to-illegals]

twitter is a liberal hotbed.

[PLMerite]

“People on twitter asking why would these kids do this.”

Tell them “elections have consequences.” They won’t understand that, either.

to lighten the mood a second, from a Twit:

Jennie ‏@JennieShmennie 1m If 9000 cops are trailing one guy in #Watertown, who's watching the rest of Massachusetts?

[JenB987]

No kidding. I made a comment about not being surprised of the reports they are here illegally. All the sudden I’m bombarded with NOT ALL ILLEGALS ARE EVIL.

[no-to-illegals]

May have been given entry by higher ups ... they may have been given visas.

[PLMerite]

“May have been given entry by higher ups ... they may have been given visas.”

Makes you wonder how they answered the “business or pleasure” question at the border.

Since these guys were also guilty of robbing a 7-11 last night...which led to the chase by the police and resulted in the killing of Suspect #1. Why do news commentators keep asking...Why did they stay in the area?

Well, since they had to rob a 7-11, obviously they don't have any money. Probably no car, or enough for a ticket on a commercial vehicle to get out of there. Suspect#2 still at large, armed, and probably no way to leave the area.. Obviously desperate, dangerous, hungry and broke.

I hope all shopkeepers are well armed - Suspect#2 might be looking for Skittles and Iced Tea.

Monday: Bombing.
Tuesday: Videos all over the Internet.
Wednesday: Suspect questioned, or deported, or released, or something.
Thursday: Suspects identified, wanted posters splashed around the world.
Friday: Shoot out. Car chases. Crashes. Grenades. One dead now; the other will be dead soon.

It's like a Hollywood script. They should have been Albanian.

The enemy is getting smarter. Using "blue eyed moslems" who can fit in (aka the "shoe bomber") is a tactic that has been mentioned on FR for years.

I doubt that teenagers (one of the perps was 19) just spontaneously decide to move to the US from Chechnya, bomb the Boston marathon, and start shooting police officers. Somebody trained them. Somebody financed them. Somebody sent them. Are there other cells around the country?

The question is, who is responsible? Iran? AQ?

[tomkat]

They should have been Albanian

Albanians might've learned their 'craft' in Chechnya

Another explosive device found, to be detonated shortly per scanner

Holy-mackeral. Your posts are giving me the vapors. Yesterday morning during a press briefing at the disaster scene in West, Texas, Waco Police Sgt. William Swanton, who was the media contact man at the time, called on some character with a question who had a very heavy foreign accent and was barely understandable - Swanton apologized in advance and asked the fellow to verify that the question was "Where any Turkish nationals involved in the explosion" - the guy agreed in the affirmative that it was the question - Swanton just stopped and held his gaze for a moment, then answered in the negative. I was like "what the ...??" That little incident stuck in my mind, hard. It was exactly at 8:31AM when that occurred, but unfortunately never got a look at the guy that asked the question - he was well off-camera. I don't know what to think about that. What was some foreigner doing at a rural farming community asking a whacked question like that??? Doesn't compute. Need to find raw footage of that particular press conference.

Foxnews is reporting humvees marked military police are coming into Watertown and also busloads of police. Literally busloads of police.
