Boston's Jihadi Terrorists & The Chechen Connection - Rachel Ehrenfeld, Lorenzo Vidino
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been taken alive in Watertown, Massachusetts, this evening.
It is now clear that the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out by Islamist jihadis. It has to been kept in mind that there are two kinds of Chechen terrorists: anti-Russian Chechen nationalists and Chechen Islamists. The terror in Boston was carried out by jihadis who were ethnically Chechen.
Although it will take a while for all the details to come out regarding the Tsarnaevs' exact connections and motives, it is also highly unlikely that that the brothers were completely independent operators.
