Well, our surviving bomber says they were motivated by religion, and they were not part of a terrorist group. They got the information to make bombs off the internet.

My reaction to gun debates is OMFGWTFBBQ.

Hmm...............
BBQ!
:D

Because the thread is about the bomb attack and the perpetrators who according to the referred Reuters article in the NY Times didn't legally buy their guns. So it is related to the crime and part of the whole picture, but not to the extent of inviting long discussion over gun control.

A friend send me this on Facebook

I can't say if it's a fake story or not.

I can see that it's a satirical newspaper

Al qaeda has its own esquire magazine it about the jihad and it explains exactly how to build the bombs, their magazine is called Inspire. This was pointed out already by another subsimmer on page 13.

Not keeping up, but am I understanding they think the older brother or both may have been involved with 3 previous murders?

Turns out I know someone who works at the store where the Brothers purchased their Lock and Load mortars (a large fireworks kit).

From what I gather the material they could have salvaged from the fireworks would not have amounted to much black powder. But that is probably not going to be good for the company or the fireworks industry. These only became legal a year or two ago and Joe was saying they might outlaw them again.

Seems there is a lot of 'inconsistency' in this case to say at least.

Seems it was at least not direct state terrorism, but it explains why the brothers had been in contact with some agencies before. FBI ? CIA ? recruited the pair to infiltrate Islamic terrorists, but the ploy backfired. It's not the first time it happens.
Good we have such good friends like the Saudis :dead:

DEBKA files:
"The Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US into terror trap".

edit (for obvious reasons):

DEBKA isn't a reliable source, it's pretty rediculous to think they were double agents. I wouldnt believe that unless proven otherwise.

It's starts to kill my nerves that the mother again and again tells how much she regrets that the family ever moved to the US and how innocent her sons had been and that the Us did not protect them.

Dear Mrs. Righteous-Selfcentrism from wonderful Chechnya , I'm sure you are not alone and that there are several hundred if not many thousands of people in America who - like you - also deeply regret that you have ever come to the US, and would have preferred that you would never have. Amongst them for example these three, to give just some of them a face.

I looked in vein to read somewhere that media people or commentators refuse to give this woman the stage she claims most naturally to act as if her sons are the victim here. Family or not - this does not give her the right to behave like she does. Disgusting that she can get away with this instead of media making it clear beyond doubt who the real victims here are.

P.S. It is important to show the blood and the mutilations of people in media, so that people do not forget what terrorism is about and what it does, and why it cannot be compared to just any crime like shoplifting or cracking open a cash automat. I had to witness quite some disgusting comments in German media, radio and newspapers, trying to relativize the terror done and claiming that Americans face some responsibility by having provoked the aggression due to failing integration of native Americans to the foreigners. It'S a mental asylum I live in.

I've seen stuff like this myself, on scene, when I was young, I am always upset when seeing such pics in media, and I am totally pissed about this Cheynan primitive women lamenting about her family. If I would meet her, I would spit in her face - not for what her sons did and she being their mother, but for her notorious lamenting about America.

I honestly don't get where people get these silly conspiracy ideas from.

Two young guys came to the US from a Muslim nation, they arrived in the US post-9/11 while Russia was stomping around Chechnya with T-90s and MiGs. They got asylum from fear of religious persecution.
The older brother never quite managed to fit in, so he went to his familys roots of Islam and fell into online extreme Islam, the parents probably never even knew about it. The younger brother managed to fit into society, but felt a deep bond to his brother in this new strange world, so it was easy for his older brother to talk him in to radical Islam and convince him to come with him and bomb Boston.
Now the older brother is dead and the younger brother will probably join him before the year is out.
The end.

The rules are the rules, calling the mods names isn't going to do anything.

To explain Oberon's post, I posted that quote indeed, then found that maybe the link in my posting is not working, its still there in text, but leads to an error (did not when I posted). I deleted that post Oberon quoted, due to the doubt.

If mods confirm they edited it, then I stick to my criticism, because it is not "rules" then, but simply stupid - all TV stations showed material without age discrimination that was MUCH more disturbing than the missing photo I posted, and by today's standards was mild indeed.

If no editing took place, then I and we fell for a technical error for which apparently rapidshare is responsible. In that case I express my regret for the confused situation.

I can categorically state that a moderator has not interfered or edited the post you have made reference to.
