If there is no foreign connection he had to get money and weapons from somewhere. I think in a town like Boston you have to be pretty connected to get that type of firepower illegally.

The Russian mafia is pretty strong in Boston right? What about the Chechen mafia? Are they known to have a presence in New England?edit on 21-4-2013 by drock905 because: (no reason given)

I generalise when I say Russian, I mean Eastern European gansters, but that includes Russian mafia. I hesitate to say it, but those three killings sounds like a turf war.edit on 21-4-2013 by smurfy because: Text.

Here is something I question. If Tamerlan was a devout Muslim why would he be best friends with a pot head? I mean were not talking about Mohammed Atta who liked pork chops, boozing, and strippers!.
We must remember that the word ASSASIN comes from the HASHASHIN, or HASHASHI, a term used by the Mustali to describe the Nizari Ismailis of the Fatid empire when the two seperated from each other in the 12th century.
Its come to us in the west as popular belief to mean the pot smoking muslims (considered lower cast) who would smoke until they went crazy then go to kill christian crusaders while showing no fear because they were stoned, although it wasnt true and was fantasty of medieval westeners..
But two young muslims stoned killing christians ring a bell ??

Well when the USSR collapsed, it is said that most of the top military etc simply went over to crime as a way to make ends meet. And thus the "Russian mafia" was born....

I tried searching for Boston Chechen/russian Mafia in Boston but all I get are links to the bombing. I do remember watching a show on history channel (take that for what it is) interviewing whitey bulgar's right hand man. In the interview he was adamant that the Boston underground has been overrun with Russian mobsters. The old Irish mob didn't respect or like the Russians super violent M.O.
Here's a link to his amazon wish list
A couple mafia books in there
