This could be bad.

1. Could be, but probably isn't.

Chechnya expert thinks the Tsarnaev brothers weren't linked with any operation or group related to Chechnya but were working entirely on their own.

4. Unlikely. No visible means of support but both

but had plenty of money. Someone funded them, probably through brother #1. Since he's dead, it's going to be harder to trace.

3. Yes, I do.. I know that you are thinking of recent events in Boston, But...

I recall how heaven and earth was moved by the Russians to respond (unfortunately, and ultimately, horrendously) to that horrible act. In contrast, use of guns in our own school massacre results in NOTHING being done.

Interesting to contemplate how different OUR response to Newtown might have been had it been one of international terrorsim.

5. Beslan

Beslan School Hostage Crisis, Wikipedia

The Beslan school hostage crisis (also referred to as the Beslan school siege or Beslan massacre)[2][3][4] of early September 2004 lasted three days and involved the capture of over 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children),[5] ending with the death of over 380 people. The crisis began when a group of armed Islamic separatist militants, mostly Ingush and Chechen, occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation) on 1 September 2004. . . .

6. That could happen here.

That's what scares me.

7. Between Breslan and the Moscow

Theater horror, it is always shocking people still support Chechnyan Jihadists.

8. How does attacking the U.S.

serve their interests of a free Chechnya in Russia?

They would be wasting their time and resources here.

9. No evidence this is about Chechen separatists. nt
