Chechens for the day

Allvoices.com has an article by  Phyllis L. Smith Asinyanb about the Marathon bombers:

The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, nineteen, was charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction in his hospital room recently. Tsarnaev told authorities that his older brother was the mastermind behind the last week’s attack that killed three and injured more than 170 others. During the interrogation, he further stated that the two learned how to make bombs on the Internet, acted without assistance from any terrorist groups, and were motivated by religious fervor.
The older brother, Tamerlan, 26, was killed in a police shootout on 18 April. The younger brother, who managed to escape, was captured and hospitalized after a day-long manhunt.
Nathan Young, a student at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, who describes himself as a good friend of Tsarnaev's, said the suspect appeared “down” and “out of it” after the bombing. Young said Tsarnaev must have been subject to “brainwashing” by the older brother, whom he admired.
Zubiedat Tsarneva, mother of the suspects, adamantly denies that her sons bombed US citizens, but says that Dzhokhar would have obeyed Tamerlan, the older brother, because it was in line with Islamic beliefs, and is also how she raised her sons. "They loved each other. What Tamerlan said was law for Dzhokhar,” she told ABC in a phone call.
Although the suspect cannot speak because of a tongue injury caused by a self-inflicted wound, he answered questions from an elite interrogation unit by writing responses. When queried by a magistrate if he understood his rights, he nodded yes. At other times, he shook his head for no. Reportedly, he audibly voiced “no,” when asked if he could afford an attorney. He was assigned three federal public defenders.
A criminal complaint laid out some of the charges against Tsarnaev, including a white baseball cap and black jacket found in the his dorm room that matched those worn by the FBI's Suspect Number Two on the surveillance video. Green fuse strands that matched the fuse on the bombs were also found.
If is found guilty, Tsarnaev could face life in prison or the death penalty. He is being charged on both the state and federal levels. State charges are due to the alleged assassination of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer.
Meanwhile, the FBI Evidence Response Team turned the crime scene on Boylstown Street back over to the city of Boston.

Rico says that of course the guy's blaming his big brother; he's dead...
