I read that "Tsarnaev drove a silver Mercedes and wore fashionable clothes yet was known as a loner, drifting from job to job, at one stage delivering pizzas.
KEY Question - Where did these guys get the money to spend on all this stuff and travel??? The elder in Russia for six months, family, cars, guns, etc.
After the two brothers engaged in a gun battle with police early Friday, authorities found many unexploded homemade bombs at the scene, along with more than 250 rounds of ammunition.
Sunday, the city's police commissioner said the two suspects had such a large cache of weapons that they were probably planning other attacks.

This alleged terrorist does have answers of some kind. Who has been paying their day to day bills? Takes money to survive.
I find it hard to believe these two kids were not supplied and trained by a person(s) who is overall resonsible for this. Let's hope the kid makes it and is able to provide information.

An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man's increased commitment to Islam. The FBI should have listened to the Russians and the uncle. It would have saved lifes, injuries and the everlasting emotional impact of this murderous act.

everyone has a right to their opinion,, that being said

I t hink the young mind is still capable of change and growth and I would not want to kill this young man if there is any chance he was just immulating his big brother


I know people have come to believe in the death penalty for children, and to think of children strictly by biological age

but many people beyond our 'legal' age of 21 are still not emotionally developed or intellectually developed, and certainly many of those recently out of high school arent either

IM not sure the mastermind behind the plan, probably the brother who went out in a blaze of glory and had the internet content was the one who was most committed to this plan and the ideas

Im not sure how involved the younger brother was beyond doing what he was told by the older brother,,,,,I just dont believe it will do anything killing this young man that locking him away wouldnt likewise do,,,,except, hed still be aliv and able to think about/learn from the things he did and grow up,,,,,,


or, give him the choice,,,,,,imprisonment or death, I imagine such a young man may have a very hard time with hardened and lifelong criminals too,,,

Which bombing suspect led the other?
http://news.yahoo.com/bombing-suspects-may-led-whom-001538013--spt.html
Tamerlan Tsarnaev ranted at a neighbor about Islam and the United States. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, relished debating people on religion, "then crushing their beliefs with facts."

The older brother sought individual glory in the boxing ring, while the younger excelled as part of a team. Tamerlan "swaggered" through the family home like a "man-of-the-house type," one visitor recalls, while Dzhokhar seemed "very respectful and very obedient" to his mother.

The brothers, now forever linked in the Boston Marathon bombing tragedy, in some ways seemed as different as siblings could be. But whatever drove them to allegedly set off two pressure-cooker bombs, their uncle is certain Dzhokhar was not the one pulling the strings.

"He's not been understanding anything. He's a 19-year-old boy," Ruslan Tsarni said of his brother's youngest child, who is clinging to life in a Boston hospital after a gunbattle with police. "He's been absolutely wasted by his older brother. I mean, he used him. He used him for whatever he's done. For what we see they've done. OK?"

Criminologist James Alan Fox says the uncle's intuition is justified. In cases like this, he says, it is highly unusual for the younger participant — in this case, a sibling — to be the leader.

"I would be surprised," says Fox, a professor of Criminology, Law and Public Policy at Boston's Northeastern University. "Very surprised."

Whatever their fraternal pecking order, when the bullets began flying in Watertown on Thursday night and 26-year-old Tamerlan went down, his younger brother ran him over — dragging him for about 30 feet — before ditching the car and fleeing on foot. After a 24-hour manhunt that shut down most of the Boston metropolitan area, police cornered the gravely wounded Dzhokhar hiding in a boat in a backyard, only blocks from where his brother bled out.

Officials said Dzhokhar was in serious condition Saturday, unable to communicate. So, at least for now, investigators and the public are left with only enigma.

The ethnic Chechen family came to this country in 2002, after fleeing troubles in Kyrgyzstan and then Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russia's North Caucasus. They settled in a working-class part of Cambridge, where the father, Anzor Tsarnaev, opened an auto shop.

He returned to Dagestan about a year ago.

Luis Vasquez went to high school with Tamerlan and later helped coach Dzhokhar's soccer team at Cambridge Rindge and Latin. With the father gone, Vasquez said, the older brother assumed a kind of paternal role, at least where the girls in the family were concerned.

The Russian FSB intelligence service told the FBI in 2011 about information that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam, two law enforcement officials said Saturday.

According to an FBI news release, a foreign government said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev appeared to be strong believer and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. for travel to the Russian region to join unspecified underground groups.

The FBI did not name the foreign government, but the two officials said it was Russia. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter publicly.

The FBI said that in response, it interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and relatives, and did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity. The bureau said it looked into such things as his telephone and online activity, his travels and his associations with others.

An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man's increased commitment to Islam.

Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., said Tamerlan told him in a 2009 phone conversation that he had chosen "God's business" over work or school. Tsarni said he then contacted a family friend who told him Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam.

Almost three weeks after China reported finding a new strain of bird flu in humans, experts are still stumped by how people are becoming infected when many appear to have had no recent contact with live fowl and the virus isn't supposed to pass from person to person.

The uncertainty adds to challenges the Chinese government is facing in trying to control the spread of the H7N9 bird flu virus that has already killed 17 people and infected 70 others in the country, mostly along the eastern seaboard.

"To me, the biggest question is the link between the virus in birds and how it gets to humans. This is not clear," said Dr. Bai Chunxue, a prominent respiratory expert in Shanghai who treated one of the first cases of the virus, a family cluster involving an 87-year-old man and his two sons. Bai said other family members he talked to said the patients had no contact with birds or poultry.

4 UK men jailed for toy-car terror plot.http://news.yahoo.com/4-uk-men-jailed-toy-car-terror-plot-121629664.html
The terror plot involved targeting British reserve troops using a toy-car packed with explosives.
Prosecutors said the men gained inspiration from the 2010 first issue of "Inspire," an online English-language magazine from Yemen's al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and linked to the U.S.-born militant cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. The militant leader was killed in 2011 in a drone strike.

The same online magazine gave instructions on how to build a "pressure cooker" bomb — the same type of explosive device that was used in Monday's attack at the Boston Marathon when three people were killed and more than 100 were wounded.
American Jihadist Terrorism?

1. Islamist jihadists
This theory was inevitable in the worst attack on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and it gained some initial credence from a New York Post report that a 20-year-old Saudi national had been picked up as a"person of interest." Police quickly threw cold water on that report, but then Boston TV station WABC reported that police are"searching for a darker skinned or black male with a black backpack and black sweatshirt, possibly foreign national from the accent of the individual."

SEE MORE: Boston is more than a marathon. It embodies the American spirit.

Another anonymous law enforcement official"notes that the manner of the attack suggests it may have been Al Qaeda inspired — if not Al Qaeda directed," says Christopher Dickey at The Daily Beast . That's because the construction of the bombs — gunpowder with ball-bearings and other shrapnel to maximize the damage — is similar to a bomb recipe shared by Al Qaeda"on its internet manuals for terrorist attacks."

Of course, not everyone is convinced."Horrific as this obviously was, it doesn't seem big enough" for an attack by Arab terrorists, says The Daily Beast's Tomasky ."Everything we know about their m.o. — the 1993 WTC bombing, the 2000 LAX plot, and 9-11 — suggests that they aim bigger."

2. Right-wing militia types
This theory, too, was inevitable. And most proponents point to the date — Patriots' Day — as a clue. Residents of Massachusetts and Maine celebrate Patriots' Day by taking the day off of work and re-enacting the first battles of the American Revolution, says Sommer Mathis at The Atlantic Cities ."But in recent years, Second Amendment activists and anti-government modern-day militia members have tried to co-opt the holiday, which also roughly marks the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing."

It's also"wise in these cases to remember that the 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City and the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 were carried out by Americans who espoused extreme right-wing causes," says The Daily Beast's Dickey .

SEE MORE: What the Boston Marathon means to a Bostonian

There's also the fact that the Boston Marathon fell on tax day this year, and the last mile of the race"was dedicated to Newtown victims," says Tomasky .



"But man you would have to be a really 100 percent out-there sicko to think that this was how you wanted to make a political statement about gun rights. I think there are dangerous extremists among that group, but I don't think even they would do or approve of doing something like this." [ Daily Beast ]

3. The government
"False flag" attack proponents wasted no time blaming the government for staging the Boston explosions to achieve their own ends, says Alex Seitz-Wald at Salon . First out of the gate was Alex Jones, who tweeted:"Our hearts go out to those that are hurt or killed #Boston marathon – but this thing stinks to high heaven #falseflag."
SEE MORE: The Boston bombing: fact and fiction

Then"Dan Bidondi, a 'reporter/analyist' (sic) for Alex Jones's InfoWars, managed to ask Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick the very first question in a nationally televised press conference," notes Slate's David Weigel :



Why were the loud speakers telling people in the audience to be calm moments before the bombs went off? Is this another false flag staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote homeland security while sticking their hands down our pants on the streets? [ Via Slate ]
"Patrick, looking on with a mixture of rage and pity, said 'no,' surely aware that he couldn't halt this guy's incipient Internet fame," says Weigel . But the inevitable Boston marathon"truthers" will have a hard time with this conspiracy theory. There were too many cameras and witnesses to"concoct a really compelling conspiracy theory," and the real-time fact-checking on Twitter has decimated the bad information that conspiracies need to thrive. For example, those"loud speakers" urging calm never happened.

4. A criminally insane lone wolf
There's also the possibility that this attack was perpetrated by some"local nutcase," says Tomasky at The Daily Beast ."I guess I am right now leaning in that least conspiratorial direction." Unfortunately, in our"open and free society," people can cause massive destruction with a few well-placed bombs. There's a decent chance the Boston marathon attackers were"motivated by simple revenge of some kind, or by nothing but the disease in someone's brain.&quot

The person questioned in the hospital was a Saudi national, who was report­edly tackled and held by a­bystander after he was seen running from near the scene of the explosion, said a law enforce­ment source who spoke with someone involved inthe FBI’s investigation. The Saudi man, believed to be a university student in Boston, is cooperating with the FBI and told agents that he was not involved in the explosions, and that he ran only because he was frightened. Investigators did notcharacterize the manas a suspect. No one had been arrested orcharged as of late Monday night.
Hospital officials latelast night said tests showed no radiationor biological agents on the victims, and although many people were wounded by flying shrapnel, it did not appear the bombs had been packed with nails or other fragments to increase the injuries.
Twitter and the Internet overflowed with rumors in the aftermath of the blast, some of which were later debunked. Law enforcement and city officials disputedpublished ­reports that investigators had discovered one or more bombs that had failed to explode.

The ba$tard$ responsible - COWARDS all - will beidentified, and hunted down.
Since no known"radical" nor"fundamentalist" group has yet 'claimed responsibility', I'd venture that some warped, demented, DOMESTIC group, with some kind of"percieved injustice agenda" may be behind this tragedy.
I sincerely doubt thiswas the work of AQ. Too unprofeshional.
This is going to hurta lot more people, though.

The rally was peaceful, with no injuries or property damage and only one arrest for disorderly conduct, Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said. The police presence was heavy in a closed-off section of downtown Memphis.
Klan members were bused to and from the protest and were relegated to a fenced-in section in front of the Shelby County courthouse. Some wore pointed white hoods and waved flags with the letters 'KKK' on them.
Police said an anti-Klan rally located in another fenced-in area about 100 yards away attracted 1,275 people throughout the day. Some chanted "KKK, go away."
A North Carolina-based faction of the Klan came to protest after the City Council voted to rename Nathan Bedford Forrest Park, Jefferson Davis Park and Confederate Park. Forrest was a slave trader, Confederate cavalryman and member of the first version of the Klan.
Bystander Veronica Milton, 37, viewed the protest as an educational experience, though she described the Klan's white supremacist messageas sad.
"Everybody has different opinions, different voices," said Milton, who is black."There's nothing wrong with seeing things from every side."
A family-themed event organized to counter the rally at a separate location featured more than 1,500 people who atefrom food trucks, listened to live music and attended a diversity workshop.

Last week the WHO said there was not a problem. Now the story changes. Face it the WHO has no clue...China is a world health risk.

Sun 04/14/13 08:31 AM
A World Health Organization official said Sunday that it wasn't surprising that a new strain of bird flu had spread to China's capital after sickening dozens of people in the eastern part of the country.

Up until Saturday, when Beijing officials reported the capital's first case of H7N9, all cases had been in Shanghai and other areas of eastern China. On Sunday, officials announced the first two cases in central Henan province, which is next to Beijing.

It's not the case that everyone confirmed to be infected with H7N9 was "clustered in one small area with the same source of exposure," said Michael O'Leary, head of WHO's office in China. "So we've been expecting new cases to occur. ... Furthermore, we still expect that there will be other cases."

A 7-year-old girl was Beijing's first confirmed case of H7N9. Four more cases were reported Sunday in eastern Zhejiang province and two more in Jiangsu, bringing to 57 the number of people sickened from the virus. Eleven of the victims have died.

Health officials believe the virus, which was first spotted in humans last month, is spreading through direct contact with infected fowl.

O'Leary said "the good news" was that there was still no evidence that humans had passed on the virus to other humans.

"As far as we know, all the cases are individually infected in a sporadic and not connected way," he said, adding that the source of infection was still being investigated.

The girl, whose parents are in the live poultry trade, was admitted to a hospital Thursday with symptoms of fever, sore throat, coughing and headache, the Beijing Health Bureau said.

O'Leary said early treatment can be effective, as demonstrated by the girl, who was in stable condition.

In the only other reported cases outside of eastern China, health officials in Henan province said tests on two men Thursday had later revealed they had the virus.

They said a 34-year-old restaurant chef who had displayed flu symptoms for about a week was in critical condition in a hospital, while a 65-year-old farmer who was in frequent contact with poultry was in stable condition after receiving treatment.

They said 19 people who had been in close contact with the two men did not show any flu symptoms.

China has been more open in its response to the new virus than it was a decade ago with an outbreak of SARS, when authorities were highly criticized for not releasing information.
