Explosion at the Boston Marathon.

Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves."

Irony!

I thought CNN reported they were caught two days ago. Oops.

Somehow I keep*flashing to "The Pine Barrens"*episode of The Sopranos.

From Yahoo News:

Officer on police scanner says suspect is posting this message online: "I will kill all of you as you killed my brother."

Maybe his hot girlfriend dumped him?

Well, that would set anyone off.

They might have recently arrested her.

Sounds like a guy who could have a bomb strapped to him.

Boston Bombing Suspect Posted Video on Al Qaeda Prophecy on YouTube

Appears he merely subscribed to an Islamic channel, nothing posted.

I've subscribed to a few atheist Facebook pages I've later had to remove for there, shall we say, radical positions, so won't hold that against him.

I'm disappointed. That image link was originally an empty picture box, and I thought it was a witty reference to Manti T'eo.

Scrut, you're slipping.

What a surreal morning. Whole week really.

Wrong information?

I think it's based on this Twitter account:

From this twitter.

It's a brand new account, so possibly a fake

You misspelled "probably"

I wonder whether this might have something to do with our involvement in the action in Mali. Support for AQIM or some such.

I actually changed from probably

Say what? There's no evidence (yet) to suggest this has anything at all to do with religion, let alone al qaeda or Mali.

Local radio reporting there is a standoff with #2 at a house.

We need to find someone to blame other than the brothers.

You sure it isn't righty survivalists?

Chechens have done some pretty ghastly things in the name of Islam.
