A really cool military helicopter.

Used to deliver personnel and small equipment.

The reason I am sitting home is because my so called wonderful company that I busted my hump for almost nine yrs kicked me to the curb for no real good reason! Yeah, things are getting better all the time.

Is anyone familiar with Chechnya terror groups? Does anyone understand why they would do this? Thoughts?

Yes

I am struggling a little bit about the Chechnya terrorism angle, traditionally these terrorists target Russian targets not American.

I have read a few books on the Chechnya conflict and it’s difficult to judge if these guys are connected to a Chechnya terrorist group the it does not really make much sense to go after a American target. However some of these group form Chechnya are every sympathetic to the Taliban fighting Americans in Afghanistan and there are quite a few men who came from Chechnya trained with Al-Qa’ida and went on to work in the ranks of Al-Qa’ida. Saying that though the guy they are hunting is 19 I just don’t think he would be old enough to have been trained in Afghanistan as a Chechen terrorist. These groups are more nationalistic in nature as opposed to holding the Ideology of Al-Qa’ida.

These two don’t fit the right kind of MO I would expect from a Chechen terrorist group although that doesn’t mean much. The area they are from, South Caucasus is known for terrorism. Like I say however at 19 and having lived most of his teenage years in America I find it very hard to believe that he is from a Chechen group.

My guess would be that these two boys have been radicalised either online or at a Mosque and the result was the Boston bombings. Many Chechens are sympathetic to the Afghan militants and people of Palestine.

Yup. Blackhawk Down. Great flick. Mohammed Aideed got famous on that day. Realized you could take one down by shooting at the rear rotor.

bloody hell! It is 1.42 am in the morning where I am and is it ok if I spend time after work on ATS? Is that ok with you??

kudos to all of those members who have covered this event!

edit on 19-4-2013 by Thurisaz because: grammar

Only if you start your posts with "bloody hell" to identify you're not in America...

Anyone else catch that all the way back to 7 hours ago, the police were interested in this exact area they have this old man? Except then it was suspect #2 and they believed he had been locked inside with an employee.

And Boylston/Nichols where they just requested battering rams(?) is near where they thought they found the rocket in the basement as well as tunnels.

Thanks for the update.

I'm listening to seven cities radios right now so it's hard to keep up with all of them.

reply to post by cody599

Special forces called in ?

No need for that, SWAT can deal with this, its one guy they at the most they might need HRT

Wait.....

I thought they had this guy surrounded and were sending in FBI negotiators to the scene? At least that's what I heard on NBC.

What the hell is going on?
