So all it it takes is one Hindu name, and Hindus and India have to get worried. Muslims and Pakistan are involved in countless crusades, yet they go as they please. The so called Hindu house is not in order - split and confused.

The Americans have lots of egg on their faces, and they tried their best to delay the outing of the real nationality. A security expert on CNN was just saying that Chechen fighters have lately been seen fighting on the side of the Syrian rebels. And who is supporting and arming the Syrian rebels ?
Interestingly enough even though this came out 2 days ago, it is interesting that he made the comment.
West_Will_Pay_For_This
Syrian President Bashar Assad has cautioned in a TV interview that the West will pay a heavy price for allegedly helping Al-Qaeda extremists in the country’s two-year uprising, adding that the government’s defeat is out of the question.
In the statement that was made on Wednesday to state channel Al Ikhbariya, Assad warned that "The West has paid heavily for funding Al-Qaeda in its early stages. Today it is doing the same in Syria, Libya and other places, and will pay a heavy price in the heart of Europe and the United States."
He stressed that "from the first day, what is happening in Syria is dictated from abroad."

very weak explanation sire. the avg american gives a rats arse about what happens in india or denmark as well. and the same lack of social support is the lot of FOB desis also. they also see US funding TSP hand over fist.

is there a general anti muslim prejudice - I dont think so. muslims can head to toe burqa and pray all they want and nobody is really bothered so long as
they dont break any laws. what prejudice?

Regular Jhalaks delivered to the ossieules in US state dept and the CFR types by such self radicalized lone wolf jehadis should in time make them roll back their tactically brilliant offshore balancing strategies employing Islamists in the great game of 21st century . My only regret with this whole sordid affair is that the dumb camelfcuks targetted Boston marathon of all places leaving aside all such targets where recurrent causalities could have really changed the way american "policy elite" look at the meaning to the phrase "collateral damage".

It is ridiculous that with all the forces at its disposal, they were unable to capture him alive. I don't think the security forces are trained properly, to capture the people alive. What a shame! What is the use of all the power and money, if they are unable to take away the weapon from one single individual within a country that they have complete control?

Most likely the older brother would have been the mastermind. Now no one will know what motivated him, other than conjecture coming out of the analysts' rear end.

It appears that he had an explosive or flammable substance strapped/on him. It was the burns that complicated the situation. Apparently taken alive and died at the hospital.

CRamS,

>>Guys, I must tell you, had this Boston terror attack been even faintly associated with a Hindu name, the damage to India would have been unmeasurable with so many f!cking traitors in our midst.

Way I remember, there was a chap called David Headley who was involved in the murder of over 170 people in Mumbai not many years ago. Don't remember too well, but was he an American citizen who worked for the FBI/DEA and is now in US custody with no hope of extradition to India? The damage to America is hardly immeasurable. Hell, it is not even measurable. Must be because India does not hold a candle to America in terms of ability to respond to terror and the resources it can bring to bear.

An average kuppan or suppan even in India will not know that Tripathi is a brahmin surname.This is deliberate social experiment.

Dead bombing suspect boxed in Lowell Golden Gloves

LOWELL -- The Boston Marathon suspect who died in a gunfight early Friday morning is a Lowell Golden Gloves boxer who told The Sun in 2004 "I like the USA" after winning his first fight here.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was reportedly chased down by officials in a massive manhunt and killed Friday morning. His brother, Dzhokhar, 19, is still on the run.

Tamerlan grew up in Grozny, Chechnya, the capital city of the Cechen Republic. Much of Grozny was destroyed during the Russia-Chechen conflict, and Tsarnaev and his family moved to the United States in 2003 in hopes of starting a new life, according to a Sun article from Jan. 21, 2004.

Tsarnaev fought in Lowell in the 178-pound novice class in 2004, and won that January night.

"I wanted to fight in the Gloves to see how I would do," Tsarnaev told The Sun that night. "So far, so good."

He also said: "I like the USA ... America has a lot of jobs. That's something Russia doesn't have. You have a chance to make money here if you are willing to work."

Tsarnaev's said his first love was music. He said he studied music at a school in Russia and played the piano and violin.

Tsarnaev later represented Team New England in the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions in 2009 and 2010.

^^Saar,
Even in this forum, we went back and edited photos and comments of 2 whites, when they were incorrectly named as suspects. Will the same consideration be given to the poor unfortunate Tripathi, or does it not apply to lowly Indians?

His Dad Says He's a Medical Student and an "Angel"
This is bizarre, but apparently the AP has caught up with Tsarnaev's father who is claiming he's a second-year medical student. "My son is a true angel ... Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here." the AP reports. Second-year medical students aren't usually 19, and this is the first time that Dzhokhar's career aspirations have been mentioned.
According to ABC News, Tsarnaev's father spoke to them yesterday and asked them if they were hurt in the bombings.

Something is not right, a nineteen year old, who has just lost his elder brother cannot cause this. The whole city of Boston, all the suburbs have been totally locked down.

The president is being briefed in a meeting which has chiefs of CIA, FBI, NSA and Department of Homeland Security plus the attorney general. There are over 9000 heavily armed and armored Rambos, choppers, K-9s, armored vehicles in the area.

Add to that all the media spin...

BREAKING NEWS: A bullet-riddled SUV was taken from a home in the Watertown section of Boston, as police tightened the perimeter where the remaining Boston Marathon bombing suspect could be hiding.
Earlier, multiple explosions echoed from inside a house, and the situation was fluid following a chaotic night of mayhem that included the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and a shootout with police, authorities said early Friday.
