Sunil has nothing to do with it.

Not sure if it's true, but there was a report of a possible associate(60 -70 year old guy) who had a strapped bomb.

I heard the old guy had a bottle of viagra in his pocket and had nothing to do with the bombings.

At least they confirmed it wasn't Sunil. Poor kid & his family.

They did, I'm not sure if they're still dealing with it but they have had multiple EOD "BearCats" (robots) approaching him with officers reporting he had a device in hand. I've been listening to their police radio from a stream while playing NBA 2K13 so I'm not paying 100% attention to the chatter.

EDIT: I believe the young Chechen bombers has 2 uncles? Is it possible one of them or the father is the old man? Just speculating...

He's only 19. He's a year younger than me. How does he even have the balls and composure to do this and pull this off? There is literally an army of police and SWAT teams after him.

I don't like the idea of using the word "terrorism" as a catch-all phrase for these kind of things. Maybe the FBI/police found evidence of political motivation at the crime scene; that's the only way I can justify the increasing abuse of this term of late.

So heard the news about the 2 brothers...

Anyone know how they discovered them to be the culprits?

And how did the first one die?

Wonder if he's contemplating suicide. Would be tortured by the CIA if caught or in Guantanamo bay.

He's a 2nd year medical student so a bit smarter/disciplined than your average kid. That said, he's probably going to put a bullet in his head the same way Doerner went out.

Because people like this are beyond stupid, (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and any related items. They have inner problems and devils that makes no sense.

They are the culprits and the first one died in a shootout with cops. He was strapped with a bomb reportedly, the other one is on the run with a possible bomb as well.

Is it confirmed he belongs to a group or anything like that? One would think he'll try to take others with him. That's why I'm disappointed to wake up knowing he's still on the run. I don't think they'll get the chance to take him alive but they better take him dead or alive. Just need to make sure that no more innocent lives are taken/affected for good.

That is literally impossible. Terrorists are like weeds, you get rid of one and two more pop up.

I understand there will always be terrorism/this act of violence, sadly. They do however need to find this Tsarnaev kid before another possible bomb goes off or he takes more people with him (cowardly way).

Agreed. Hopefully he just off's himself before that though.
