They were contemplating suicide bombings as well. I guess the 72 virgins weren't that appealing, considering all the worldly pleasures they enjoyed right here in the good ole U.S. of A. Besides, it's hard to break that welfare dependency. They just couldn't let go.
A great piece at the New York Times, "Boston Plotters Said to Initially Target July 4 for Attack."
They built the bombs faster than they expected so they moved up the date of the attack to Patriot's Day. And the probe continues of the elder brother's trip to Chechnya last year.
And more at the Wall Street Journal, "Boston Suspects Inspired by Cleric." They were inspired by watching Anwar al-Alawki's death to America videos? Nah. That's gotta be right-wing disinformation. It's just gotta be!
There's going to be lots more devastating revelations on this story. Was Tamerlan's widow Katherine Russell an accomplice? She's clammed up since first cooperating with authorities, and now you've got the indictments of the three pals of the younger brother. Who else is out there undiscovered in the wings?
Give me your tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free!
