Boston Marathon suspect pronounced dead at hospital
BREAKING NEWS: Multiple explosions echoed from inside a house as police in Boston massed inside a perimeter set up to contain the remaining suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

The situation was fluid, and the latest development came in the city's Watertown section after a chaotic night of mayhem that included the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and a shootout with police, authorities said early Friday.

Police believe the two suspects from Monday's terror attack are brothers, possibly from Chechnya, according to sources who spoke to Fox News. The man on the loose was identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass. They are believed to have been here for 'several years,' sources said.

Russia's Chechnya, Caucasus: A breeding ground for terror

MOSCOW — Chechnya, the Russian republic believed to be connected to the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects, has been the scene of terrorism and related violence since the 1991 break-up of the Soviet Union.

Militants from Chechnya and other restive regions in Russia's volatile North Caucasus have targeted Moscow and other areas with bombings and hostage-takings for more than 20 years. The allegations of ties to Monday's Boston bombings are the first connection of terror attacks in the United States.

Predominantly Muslim, Chechnya declared independence from Russia in November 1991. A full-scale separatist war broke out in 1994 and lasted through most of the 1990s. It was only after a second wave of Russian military action in the early part of the last decade that Chechnya fell under firmer Russian control.

However, Chechen terrorists have committed sporadic large-scale attacks in Russia since then. In March 2010, Chechen terrorists claimed responsible for bombings on the Moscow subway system that killed more than 40 people. In June 2010, the State Department added Chechen rebel Doku Umarov, who claimed responsibility for the March subway attack, to its terrorist list and froze his assets.

The reduced turmoil inside Chechnya has been the result of massive efforts by the Russian security forces.

A 2008 report by the Congressional Research Service said in 2007 Russian security forces ran 850 sweeps through Chechnya that involved surrounding entire villages and searching every house. "Critics of the operations allege that the troops frequently engage in pillaging and gratuitous violence and are responsible for kidnappings for ransom and 'disappearances' of civilians," the report said.

STORY: Details emerge on 2nd suspect in Boston bombings

Of the region's almost 1.3 million residents, ethnic Chechens make up about 95%, according to Russian government statistics. The rest are a combination of ethnic Russians and other ethnic groups from nearby countries and regions.

Militants from Chechnya and neighboring provinces have launched a long series of terror attacks in Russia, including a 2002 hostage-taking raid in Moscow's theater, in which 129 hostages died, a 2004 hostage-taking in a school in Beslan that killed more than 330 people, and numerous bombings in Moscow and other cities.

He should get along just fine with his new GITMO boyfriend(s).

Meanwhile, Tamerlan awaits his 72 virgins in paradise.

Great job America. I've said it before, never ever can you commit an act of terrorism or commit a series of murders - as YOU WILL BE FOUND, in the end and brought to justice. I can't recall in recent times an occasion when someone has successfully been able to get away with a crime of such magnitude.

Great job FBI. Thumbs up to law enforcement and everyone that assisted.

If it turns out it was planned by some honcho terrorist in Chechnya, I'd say he'll be found and killed quicker than bin laden was.

How about we wait till Obama invades Brazil in retaliation before we blame Obama?
