    It would be a odd twist of fate if, because of the internet's obssession with finding Sunil Tripathi as a terrorist suspect, actually manage to find him as an innocent missing person.

    The dead one...was killed by explosives, according to CNN report on right now. He went to Bunker Hill Community College.

    Family left Chechnya for Kazhakistan (sp?)...they immigrated here from there.

    Concern that family here hid them after the Marathon bombing.

    "I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them" posted on older brother's Facebook page who was studying to be an engineer, but took a year off to train for boxing.

    Russians HATE Chechnyans. They are the ones who bombed that subway in Moscow a few years ago.

    The video I saw/heard of the shooting had a few handgun shots followed by a massive amount (100's) of rifle reports. The doctor said the bullets wound were too numerous to count.

    The handgun sounded like a 22lr.

    Muslim is not a country so why can't they be both? They are from Chechnya and the predominant religion is Islam.

    There's plenty of motivation. Like what happened in Afghanistan this week with over 30 innocent civilians killed by a drone for no freakin reason. They were just trying to enjoy a wedding of all things.

    Two wrongs don't make a right and that's what people (Muslims) need to realize.
