The perpetrators of the Boston Marathon were from Chechnya.
BOSTON — The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings led police on a wild and deadly chase through the suburbs here early Friday morning that ended in the death of one of the suspects as well as a campus police officer; the other suspect remained at large while hundreds of police officers conduct a manhunt through Watertown, about five miles west of downtown Boston.
The surviving suspect was identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass., a law enforcement official said. The suspect who was killed was identified as his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the law enforcement official said. Investigators believe that both of the suspects were Chechens.
The Boston region was in the grip of a security emergency as hundreds of police officers conducted a manhunt through the normally tranquil Boston suburbs.
Many Chechens are members of al-Qaeda. In fact some of the Syrian rebels fighting Assad are actually Chechens.
The Progressives got their wish that White males were behind this, but it was Islamic White Males from Chechnya. As of this writing, one of the brothers was still on the run.
Update: It’s confirmed Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a Jihadi. His Youtube page was dedicated to Islamic causes.
Among subscriptions like the MaineSkiFamily’s channel, a YouTube page linked to Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s name and Google Plus profile focuses heavily on videos about Islam, as the screenshot below shows.
Here is a video dedicated to Islamic fighters on his Youtube channel.
Update II: Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a believer in al-Qaeda’s Khurosan prophecy.
The YouTube page includes religious videos, including one of Feiz Mohammad, a fundamentalist Australian Muslim preacher who rails against the evils of Harry Potter. One playlist includes a video dedicated to the prophecy of the Black Banners of Khurasan, which is embraced by Islamic extremists—particularly Al Qaeda. The prophecy states that an invincible army will come from the region of Khurasan in central Asia.
“This is a major hadith (reported saying of the prophet Muhammad) that jihadis use, it is essentially an end-time prophecy,” says Aaron Zelin, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy “This is definitely important in Al Qaeda’s ideology.” In The Black Banners, the book by former FBI agent Ali Soufan that is named after this prophecy, Soufan describes the prophecy this way:
Khurasan is a term for a historical region spanning northeastern and eastern Iran and parts of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and northwestern Pakistan. Because of the hadith, jihadists believe that this is the region from which they will inflict a major defeat against their enemies—in the Islamic version of Armageddon.
The videos were posted on a playlist called “Islam” four months ago under the username “muazseyfullah.” According to Zelin, “Mu’az is usually a name,” and “Sayf Allah means sword of God.” Here is the video:
