One Boston Bombing Suspect Dead, Hunt On For Second Man -- Reuters

(Reuters) - Police on Friday killed one suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing during a shootout and mounted a house-to-house search for a second man in the suburb of Watertown after a bloody night of shooting and explosions in the city's streets.

A national security official identified the hunted man as Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, 19, and said the dead suspect was his brother, Tamerlan Tsarneav, 26. The brothers had been in the United States for several years, the official said.

Authorities locked down much of Watertown and told residents not to leave their homes and not to answer the door as they scoured the area for the missing man, who was described as armed and dangerous. Public transportation throughout the Boston metropolitan area was suspended, and air space was restricted.

My Comment: When I woke up this morning is when I learned about the identity of the Boston Marathon bombers .... that they are from Chechnya. Regular readers of this blog know that my background is Russian .... so I can say this with a certain degree of confidence .... almost all Russians .... to put it bluntly .... have a great deal of hatred/animosity/bigotry/and anger towards Chechens. Two wars. Widespread Chechen terrorism inn Russia and the Caucasus. Beslan. The Moscow Theater massacre. The list is long and bloody.

And now .... sadly .... this hatred has come to the U.S..
