Chechnya???? Chechnya!
Wow, I absolutely don't get that. The only speculation I found comes from a poster at Kos:
Chechen sleepers protesting Putin? (2+ / 0-)
Russian nationals, actually, who lived on the border with Chechnya, it's being reported. Seemingly, they've been in the US for about a year.
Chechen nationals are not new to the terrorism game. About a decade ago, Chechens were found to be responsible for the famous Nord-Ost (Ðорд-ОÑÑ‚) Dubrovka Theater hostage crisis in Moscow (23 Oct 2002). Russian officials are said to have mishandled this crisis badly. Nord-Ost was the play production featured at the Dobrovka theater at the time.
The Russian chats are saying that a repeat of such Chechen terrorism on Russian soil is all but impossible. Chechens are visually familiar to Russians today, and they provoke immediate suspicion in heavily populated areas, where Putin's civil-rights bashing police ('militsiya' (милициÑ), recently changed to 'politsiya' (полиција) to sound less "military") would likely stop them on sight on some pretense.
Could these Chechen nationals, then, be carrying out a protest against Putin's dictatorial Russia on American soil? Russian chats are saying that this is the case.

There are reports that an MIT police officer has died in the hospital.

Google "100 Laurel Street, Watertown MA". This is the exact location; I have the 3-car garage that's on TV visible.
Then plug in 25 Summer Street, Waltham and do the math.
Eep!

3rd person of interest "arrested on Norfolk Street in Cambridge", according to the Globe Feed.
Also on the Globe feed, police and SWAT pulling back to about 2 blocks away...wonder if they have indications that there's additional explosives about?

So -- 1 suspect dead, 2 people in custody -- but am I correct that one suspect is still at large?
NBS just made it clear: 2 people have been taken into custody at the home where the suspects lived -- they are not suspects. -- Suspect still at large.

Someone had CNN on in the break room but I put a stop to that and put on WBZ.
I still have a big problem believing anything about 2nd & 3rd suspects in custody. I'm just periodically wandering to watch the TV. It's hard to believe when one screen says "Suspect's Uncle - He was a nice, quiet boy"
and the next says
"Suspect's Uncle - He was a loser. He deserved to die."
It's like there's a random praise/insult generator running. Which suspect? Which uncle?

See what I mean? The media really needs to STFU when it comes to who, what they have. Keep it to "stay in your homes", no MBTA, no nothing.

I'm not up on my NY Mountains, so I harkened over to the Google. That's the one just north of West Point with the highway carved into it halfway up. (9W, if memory serves.) A truly spectacular drive, I might add.

Apparently, he's been here since Jr. High or longer....was on the Cambridge Rindge & Latin wrestling team, got named to an all-state team, and was awarded a $2500 scholarship by the City of Cambridge when he graduated in 2011.
Helluva a deep-cover mole, if all true.

NEW YORK — Under pressure over its long-standing ban on gays, the Boys Scouts of America is proposing to lift the ban for youth members but continue to exclude gays as adult leaders.
The Scouts announced Friday that the proposal would be submitted to the roughly 1,400 voting members of its National Council at a meeting in Texas the week of May 20.

Although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers' mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said her son got involved in "religious politics" about five years ago, and never told her he was involved in "jihad."
She insisted the FBI "knew what he was doing on Skype" and that they counseled him "every step of the way."
