What major attacks are the Chechen groups responsible for?
The most notorious and devastating attack came in September 2004, when Basayev ordered an attack on a school in Beslan, a town in North Ossetia. More than three hundred people died in the three-day siege, most of them children. There were thirty-two militants, though only three or four were Chechens. All but one of the militants were reportedly killed during the siege. Since then, violence has generally targeted individual officials and government offices rather than large groups of civilians. Attacks include:
An August 1999 bombing of a shopping arcade and a September 1999 bombing of an apartment building in Moscow that killed sixty-four people.
Two bombings in September 1999 in the Russian republic of Dagestan and southern Russian city of Volgodonsk. Controversy still surrounds whether these attacks were conclusively linked to Chechens.
A bomb blast that killed at least forty-one people, including seventeen children, during a military parade in the southwestern town of Kaspiisk in May 2002. Russia blamed the attack on Chechen terrorists.
The October 2002 seizure of Moscow's Dubrovka Theater, where approximately seven hundred people were attending a performance. Russian Special Forces launched a rescue operation, but the opium-derived gas they used to disable the hostage-takers killed more than 120 hostages, as well as many of the terrorists. Basayev took responsibility for organizing the attack, and three Chechen-affiliated groups are thought to have been involved.

Yes, again maybe collectively we are just freaked out, and out of abundance of caution people 1+ million people are being told to stay indoors, and shutter their windows. No food if you are hungry, no work if you have a deadline, no getting anywhere if you have to get out.
This is insane.

I think they're scared that they're gonna lose him. They've been looking a long time now. If he was clever, he could be hidden pretty well in the area they're at. I remember when we were looking for Raoul Moat... He was hiding in a pipe somewhere under where the police were for about a week.
How long would it take for him to get out of Boston? I know they're looking for him pretty intensely, but if he got into the sewer system or something?

Can someone please explain who is the guy in pic from the first two pages, he is laying face down, arms wide spread wearing some sort of Adidas training pants??
Is he a third suspect or just a casualty of war?
The suspects in Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon have been reported to be brothers from Russia and Kyrgyzstan that are permanent residents of the U.S. and have been in the country for several years.

There is definitely more to this than they are letting on. Possibly many suspects they do not want to tip off. Could be more big events in the future if that is the case. I won't speculate on their religious affiliations or motivations but this doesn't seem to be a simple case of a young lone (or 2) bomber.
Hopefully there's no nuke worry. The Craft security with radiation detectors is a little worrisome if they had more intel.
