  1. There was nothing in the article about the motives of the two brothers for sowing carnage and bloodshed. However, it was learned from the news that the two were Islamic Jihadists from Chechnia. While we should be careful not to blame the Moslem citizens for the acts of a small group of extremists, it is time the governments and people of the world woke up to the threat of Islamic Jihadism to our civilization. For the Jihadists anyone, any gropup of people of whatever faith, race, nationality or even age, who is not with them, is a legitimate target, anywhere, anytime.

  2. Thank you all for this excellent story,
    Der Torossians & Nanore & Friends.

    Now stay safe.
    Pray for peace here & in Syria & everywhere.
    Dare to struggle. Dare to win.
    Take it easy. But take it.

  3. Dear DerTorrosian family.. glad that you’re all safe… as ex-Bostonians and ex-Watertownians us both (my wife and I) were watching so intensely as the rest of the World… could not believe this was happening in our beloved Boston city of Watertown.. God bless all law enforcement agencies and to the city of Boston for ending this bad chapter so quickly.. We love you all..

  4. Thanks, Nanore.for this close to the action reporting. Stay safe and continue the fine job you are doing at our beloved Armenian Weekly.

    I did not hear one word on national cable TV about the heavy presence of Armenians in Watertown.Perhaps it is just as well.

  5. What is sad here is that Turkey has been the number 1 sponser of the Chechan terrorists. Many chechan terrorist leaders are based in Turkey. During the Beslan school siege, the terrorists leader was based in Istambul was giving instructions to the Chechan terrorists who killed the 300 poor Russian Children at the Beslan school. The Azeris are also major allies of the Chechan terrorists. That is a major reason why Russia tries to please the Azeris because weapons often go across the Azeri border to Dagestan, Checnhya or Inguishetia. It is interesting that one of the Chechan terrorist leaders fought on the side of the Azeris but apparently withdrew. National Security advisor Brezkinski runs an organization that helps the Chechan terrorists and and interestingly enough, he also works for the Azeris too.

  6. And to add insult to injury the uncle living in Maryland claims that an Armenian living in the Boston area who had converted to Islam had brainwashed the elder brother! Watch minutes 5 to 8 of the following interview with CNN:
    http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/20/us/bombing-suspects-family-speaks/index.html

    And then watch another interview with the Today show…
