I think what he meant was the US was supporting Chechnyan Rebels vs. Russia. So why attack the US.
Then again, on more extreme cases, you have blowback by former US allies
- Taliban
- Sadam Regime
- Current Iran Regime

My bet would be religious nutcases. Regardless of nationality or race, it almost always comes down to religion in these cases.

Posted via RS Mobile | As said earlier, take it with a grain of salt. The news media is all over the place on this (as is gasping for any information). Even sources posted do not have the correct information right away.

OK finally some clear info:
Suspect at large is the kid with the hat. Dzhokar Tsarnaev, a Chechnian Russian
The guy who got killed was his older brother Tamerlan.
No idea who the girl is who they took from the apartment, but they said she was older.
