Explosives found on the street corner. I have never seen so many cop car, humvees and tactical teams in one place. Their uncle lives in Montgomery Village, MD half way between Frederick and Washington, DC. He has identified the brothers who have lived in MA for 2 years. Boston is in complete lock down. There may be a third suspect. Investigations also going on in Russia where their father lives. My prayersfor safety are going out right now for Diana, Maria and Bob who all live right close to Boston. |

He and his roommates are all right, thankfully! |

I do hope that there will be no more injuries or damage! These men have been responsible for the most incredibly cruel and senseless carnage. (So nice to see you Cathy E & Rob - glad you and yours are safe)

The poor uncle is beside himself with frustration and sadness because of what the nephews have done. He expressed the shame the boys brought not only on the family name but also their birth country. |

Why, when these people have been allowed into a country and are studying at University, do they turn on the very hands that have fed them? |

"Anzor Tsarnaev told the BBC that his younger son Dzhokhar was hoping to be a brain surgeon and that he believed the secret services had framed his sons." What is he thinking ?
