“Salamworld, my religion is Islam”
“There is no God but Allah, let that ring out in our hearts”.
He is apparently from Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russia’s North Caucasus that has become an epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from Chechnya. according to AP.
But I'm sure he will be characterized as just a misguided US pre-med student. I am waiting for all of his social media accounts here and in Russia to be deleted.
I know, right? RT is reporting that the older brother had a Youtube playlist called "Terrorism", that has since disappeared.CNN reports that the younger brother became a US Citizen on September 11, 2012. I guess that this wasn't a spur of the moment act by a bullied child. But it's early in the investigation. It will be interesting to see how the different news outlets spin the information as it comes in and is verified. I believe that it will be as you say, home grown Muslim Jihadists, but the older brother was apparently overseas in a radicalized area of Russia last year for several months. It may have been just a visit back home, or it could have been something far different. I guess we will see.honeybunny said:lotstodo said:Recent postings by Dzhokhar

I found it terribly interesting that we had a week of debating over whether this was the work of home grown extremists or
Muslim jihadists, and then it turns out to be both. Self radicalized American Jihadists from Russia... never wouda guessed.
