The suspect at large, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is 19, was born in Kyrgyzstan and has a Massachusetts driver’s license, they said. The dead suspect was identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, born in Russia. Law enforcement officials told NBC News that the brothers entered the United States in 2002 or 2003, and that Tamerlan Tsarnaev became a legal permanent resident in 2007. So they were 8 and 15 when they came here. Where are their parents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoughCollie Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 There is a facebook account, started in 2010, in the name of the surviving suspect's name (Dzhokhar Tsarnaev). The other two, I think, are fakes put up today. No info on what may be the surviving suspect, though -- except he does mention the marathon bombing and he last posted 15 minutes ago.

We are the Great Satan and we are responsible for the corruption of Moslems who aren't engaged in the battle against the West. And if anyone thinks that I am labeling all Moslems here, I am not.

Pawz4me Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 They're saying now that two other people (in addition to the guy on the run) are in custody. Not arrested. They either live in the same apartment as the suspects or in an adjacent apartment. I get the impression they're just being held for questioning now.

That is, if he tells them anything at all. I think we will find out his associates through tracing their travels and their communications and computers.

The younger one still out there was reportedly an excellent student, great wrestler, won a scholarship, and fellow students never would have suspected his involvement in something like this at all. THey interviewed a former high school classmate on ABC and she was truly shocked. He was known as being bright, funny, a good athlete. I don't know much about the older but apparently the parents worried about his influence on the younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterflymommy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 You are only speculating though. If they had been Christian would you have assumed they were Christian extremists who were attempting to kill and scare people in the name of religion? Or do Christians never do that sort of thing? The chechen acts of terror in russia (like the beslan school massacre) were definitely acts of islamist extremism and political separatism. Chechnya is mostly muslim and has become more extremist since 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
