Putin offering help a couple days back is starting to make a hell of a lot of sense.

I would agree.....offering assistance as the investigation began.

Russia’s Putin offers US help with investigating Boston bombings......

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his country’s assistance in investigating bombings in Boston that killed 3 and injured more than 140 people.

Putin said in a condolences note published on the Kremlin’s website Tuesday that the international community should come together to fight terrorism.

Putin said Russia “would be ready to provide assistance” to U.S. authorities with the probe into the bombings at the Boston marathon.....snip~

Coincidence? Or was there more to it? All I know I have not seen the Russians ever offer to assist us in such before.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

So this is the great Al Quaida terror plan to crush America. Two little punks born without spines make bombs capable of killing hundreds but kill only a few. Next, they run like cowards, they don't have a nickle between them so they hijack a car and rob a convenience store. Wow, let's all surrender to the soldiers of all mighty allah right now. What's that?! One of these super heros is now dead, shot full of holes??!! How did that happen?! Oh, that smell coming out of Watertown is the crap in the next hero's pants. Good luck bombadere yourtime is short.

I just remembered there was a chechen male teen who went on a shooting rampage at Trolley Square in SLC a few years ago (2007?). He too was a refugee with permanent residency but he wasn't a trained a killer. He was just a depressed and disillusioned teenager still in HS and probably felt alienated...but who knows really because he was killed in the shootout. But investigators found no ties to foreign terrorists or military training with him...just mental illness.

No, that guy wasn't Chechen.. Sulejman Talović was a refugee from Bosnia-Herzegovina, specifically Cerska which was the site of the Srebrenica massacre. Sulejman was around 7 at the time.
 
Re: Gunfire, explosions reported around Dexter Street in Watertown. (Boston)

It sounds to me like the older brother - the dead one - may have been the more serious of the two and perhaps influenced his younger brother to follow in his footsteps. This kind of goes along with my impression of the first photos where the older brother looked much more serious.

My bad, I get those countries mixed up. :3oops: He probably witnessed some terrible things. It's too bad he couldn't get the help he needed before he did what he did.

I must admit, the police scanner adds a whole new dimension to breaking news. I'm anxious to see that terrorist in handcuffs....I have lots of questions. lol where they came from, why they waited a year, etc.?

I'm very sad about the two officers.

Technically Reporters are not suppose to report stories from Scannners.....unless they are validated. Not unless it is like a Disaster with multiple reports coming in on the same event. They are suppose to validate any "scanner action" with the Police first. Both Reporters and the newsrooms have scanners. ;)

They're reporting they have a location for the suspect now.

Thanks. It's very interesting. Unfortunately, the police scanner keeps going out on me. Maybe the entire country, nay the world is trying to get on it now. lol

For all their differences on matters of foreign policy and national interest, Russia and the U.S. have a broad common interest in fighting terrorism. Both countries have been victimized by terrorism. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Russia also offered assistance and swiftly cooperated in the run-up to the war in Afghanistan.

My gut tells me these people are involved with the Marathon Bombers.

Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong though.

RT.COM has released a wonderful image of the suspect still at large, enjoying a final meal of couscous and ranch dressing w/one of his droogs.

On the stove is a large vessel where dessert is being made.

Try chasing someone down in the dark that is armed and dangerous and come back and tell us it's easy. Add to that you have to worry about collateral damage in a densely populated area.

Believe me when I say this, Law Enforcement got one hell of a break when these guys hit the 7-11. They had a safe house any the area I just about guarantee. The only reason I can think of why they would do that is if they thought their safe house was compromised somehow. Otherwise it doesn't add up. Chechens are very skilled guerilla warfare fighters. Something spooked them.

Yeah they got spooked when their pictures got plastered all over. I say they hit the 7/11 to get some cash to skip the country.
