It just happens to be on every single t.v. channel plus on MSN news.....
constantly updating the breaking news.

Suspects in marathon bombings are brothers, authorities say - U.S. News


They are of Chechyn origin.........one was born in Kyrgyzstan; the older brother was born in Russia.


If you know your Chechyn and Russian history........the Russian military fought against the Chechyn rebels for a very long time.


Click on hyperlink.....for details on when they moved to the U.S., etc.

George Stephanopoulos on ABC News......just was talking with an expert on the conflict in Chechnya and Russia..........going back hundreds of years.

He also said that the parents of the two brothers are shocked, in that they spoke to the sons yesterday and they said something like "We are all right Daddy".....as the father was concerned when he heard about the Boston Marathon bombings. So, even their father was in the dark about what they had planned.

Many of us have adult children, grandchildren, neices, nephews, friends and other acquaintences who live , or go to school, or work in Boston or the surrounding area.

MSN always has breaking news with the red banner (if it's serious news) across the top of my screen when I turn the computer on........

For those of us with connections or bonds back to Boston (especially those of us in New England)........this "story" and "news" is equivalent to how we all felt while 911 was unfolding...........a need to know. We also had bonds to New York City as that's where my dad was born....and all of his family lived.

We are all united in a "need to know" and glad they got one of the Boston Marathon Bombers overnight........unfortunately the policeman at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge had to lose his life in a gun battle........etc., etc.....another injured. Right now there are "HUMVEES" AND ALL KINDS OF POLICE AND NATIONAL GUARD PRESENCE in the neighborhood where he is believed to be holed up.

Our "press" is our morning newspaper.......and by the time we get it at 3 a.m. in the morning, the news is yesterday's news........

...................so yes, we get it ONLINE and from ABC, CNN and CBS, NBC and sometimes FOX. MSNBC is faster than the t.v. news.

Our daughter and son have friends who live in Boston..........our neighbors have children that live in Boston........our neighbors go to all the RED SOX games...........now you know.

The two brothers have sisters in New York City........the father said he lived in the U.S. for ten years.........he is horrified and said GIVE YOURSELF UP to his son.

The sister just said "I am in mourning" and she is horrified at what has happened..............

I think so. Hard to believe they do not own t.v.'s........or are so uninformed.

[billethkid]

all will end well if there are no further deaths in his pursuit.

Secondly let's hope he is taken alive.

Then let the courts convict him and put him to death.

And let the swift action by all enforcement agencies involved to get to where we are this morning...less than 3 days(!!!!!!!!!!!!) be a lesson to those who would try something in the future.

And for those who would cry about "invasion of privacy" with the advent of cameras being present.....get over it....the value of these devices to insure our safety has been demonstrated. And for those who would promote yeah but.....forget it....you are out numbered.

Congratulations to all the agencies involved.

What concerns me alot is what were they doing at MIT???!! I'm very suspicious as MIT has a strong military research think tank there.....

[chuckinca]

Why would they try to rob a 7-11?


.

[mulligan]

There's also a bunch of inexpensive apartments in that area. Let's hope the local police find them before the feds. Would probably save the expense of a trial.

Do you know the meaning to the surname "Tsarnaev"

Tsar is obvious - what does "naev" mean?
