From the Atlantic Wire:
Pete Williams of NBC is reporting that two suspects have not been positively identified, but it is believed that they are "foreign nationals" who might have received military training and have been in the country for over a year. Williams adds that they are "legal permanent residents" and may be from Chechnya, but were living in Turkey before coming to the U.S. Boston police commissioner Ed Davis tweeted the most recent surveillance photo of the missing suspect that was taken last night, before the shootout.
Beats me.
Suspect No. 1 looks more plausibly Chechen than he looks Ethiopian, as the overnight rumor implied (I had a hard time buying it because the late Suspect No. 1 is the least Ethiopian looking guy in the world). And Chechens are notorious Muslim hard-asses. Tolstoy, who fought them, wrote a book about them.
NBC is saying the suspects are brothers with complicated Chechyan names, who have at least one Massachusetts drivers license, and are here legally.
Latest: Suspect No. 2 is this guy:

Or, then again, maybe not. If this rumor is wrong, sorry to Dzhokhar.
But, in any case, never forget that the grand strategy of the Bush Administration -- Invade the World, Invite the World -- hasn't failed, it's just never been fully tried yet!
Diversity is our strength!

Hadn't heard so much from that quarter since the Hilary Swank lounge act incident. But if you've been around Boston in recent years you know the whole city is sort of an ad-hoc billboard for everybody's national/tribal grievances; a real EU on the Charles.
ReplyDeleteSo what about the missing Indian kid? Misinformation, or did he get whacked by a pair of Chechens ....whole stole his ID?
ReplyDeleteThe world is funny. Left saying it's white guys, Right saying Muslims. We end up with White Muslim bombers.
Hmm, the resident Boston guy at the American Spectator almost called this, which is to say, not really; he basically whiffed, going straight to the predictable Conservatism Inc. bugbear of the coddled suburban Guevara Lite menace.
ReplyDeleteI thought the guy whose name & age Sailer is promoting was surprisingly young, till I learned the Chechnya jefe is 36. The radio newsreaders out here will have more trouble with names this weekend.
In Hadj Murat, Chechens come across as border people with a hell of a lot of asabiya,
