Like why are Chechnyans coming here and doing this?
1 of 2 Mass. bomb suspects dead; suburbs shut down
WATERTOWN, Mass.
(AP) -- The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an
MIT police officer and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and
gun battle overnight that left one of them dead and his brother on the
loose, authorities said Friday as thousands of officers swarmed the
streets in a manhunt that all but paralyzed the Boston area.
The
suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and a family
member as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers from a Russian region
near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming
from separatist wars.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and seen in surveillance footage in a
black baseball cap, was killed in a gun battle with police in
Massachusetts overnight, officials said. His 19-year-old brother -
dubbed as Suspect No. 2 and seen wearing a white, backwards baseball cap
in the images from Monday's deadly bombing at the marathon finish line -
escaped.
