1. they have accomplices
C   (04.22.13)
some people have already been arrested. nor could they have produced all of those ied's on their own. it is noteworthy that dzhokar was naturalized only last year, on nine eleven.
2. None of this is making sense
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.22.13)
How does this Terrorist Act reconcile with the brothers life view..of wanting to get rich and comfortable? Unless of course..that is also part of the answer Ex Hezbollah and Iranian agents on a number of occasions have suggested that many of their agents are recruited by following 'pliable' potential targets on Social Media Here they would have come across young amenable boys..perhaps struggling to fit in and desperate for money.... Did the older brother go to Chechnya to meet up with Hezbollah and Iranian Minders to put the FBI and others off the scent? If they were paid in cash...is there any way that FBI can follow their cash trail? After all the cost of buying in all that equipment must have been significant The brothers had never displayed or betrayed any religious fanaticism..unlike the 07/07 or 07/11 bombers..its therefore quite possible that their weakness which was exploited - was for money and the butchery they perpetrated could have been motivated by the promise of money and perhaps even a better life in Iran

Actually, the brothers have evidently left quite a trail of radicalization on their computers, including bomb-making websites and very fundamentalist Islamic organizations. That there are others involved -- whether domestic or foreign -- is not in dispute. The question is finding them. However violent they proved themselves to be, these were two rather silly boys. They could not have amassed the firepower in their possession on their own. Neither is there any evidence that they tried to fit in or were desperate for money. If anything, it would appear that at least the younger one's classmates tried very hard to make him feel welcome in the United States, and he had a scholarship. A lot of far more worthy American-born students don't get scholarships. And the older one was a Golden Gloves boxer, with Olympic aspirations. Winning Golden Gloves competitions carries monetary rewards, which are permissible under even the very stringent United States Olympic Committee rules governing what constitutes an amateur athlete and what constitutes a professional athlete. They were terrorists, plain and simple. One is dead. The other one will likely be executed. But three innocent people are dead, several have lost limbs -- a double amputation in one case that I know of -- and hundreds have been traumatized. I have no pity for these terrorist scum. The full measure of my compassion rests with their victims.
4. Finding the head of this operation...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.22.13)
being an impossible task,at least hang the terrorists publicly ,the islam way ,to discourage other imbeciles to follow their example.
