CNN Cooper Interview - Perhaps an Answer on Bombing Motivation
Yes, I know it's CNN... we're in a hospital and Faux is the only other option 
Still, Anderson Cooper was interviewing a girl who knew the family and went to their house over the years. She said during the last couple years, the woman went from flamboyant clothing to dark clothing, headscarf, discussion of 9/11 as an inside job designed to demonize Islam. I recall discussion that neither son was particularly religious/nationalistic until recently. My wife said she had seen a report the uncle and extended family were estranged and no longer associated with them.
This might explain the father's statement that the son was an "angel," insistence on U.S. Govt. conspiracy/framing, etc. And of course both parents are now back in Russia, and the older son had recently visited. It appears the whole family may have been radicalized... maybe by the father. Still, no excuse at all. Who knows at this point, but it seems a possibility.
