    Boston Marathon bombing

    The Boston bombing suspects are two Chechens...

    Boston suspect's web page venerates Islam, Chechen independence

    Abusive comments in Russian and English were flooding onto Tsarnaev's page on VK, a Russian-language social media site, on Friday after he was identified as a suspect in the bombing of the Boston marathon.

    Police launched a massive manhunt for Tsarnaev, 19, after killing his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev in a shootout overnight.

    On the site, the younger Tsarnaev identifies himself as a 2011 graduate of Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, a public school in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    It says he went to primary school in Makhachkala, capital of Dagestan, a province in Russia that borders Chechnya, and lists his languages as English, Russian and Chechen.

    His "World view" is listed as "Islam" and his "Personal priority" is "career and money".

    He has posted links to videos of fighters in the Syrian civil war and to Islamic web pages with titles like "Salamworld, my religion is Islam" and "There is no God but Allah, let that ring out in our hearts".

    He also has links to pages calling for independence for Chechnya, a region of Russia that lost its bid for secession after two wars in the 1990s.

    The page also reveals a sense of humor, around his identity as a member of a minority from southern Russia's restive Caucasus, which includes Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and other predominately Muslim regions that have seen two decades of unrest since the fall of the Soviet Union.

    A video labeled "tormenting my brother" shows a man resembling his dead brother Tamerlan laughing and imitating the accents of different Caucasian ethnic groups.
    I just checked Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's VK page and found that "tormenting my brother" video with the guy making fun of Caucasian accents and languages. Which one do you think he starts with? Watch the video to find out...

      the truth is these people chechens, but kavkaz people in general, are hotheaded and have tribal mentality. They will never be civilised. I hope Russia puts them out of their misery one day. Stalin for example knew how to deal with them.

        Since we're making broad generalizations, would this category also include Armenians?

        But your sentiments about how Russia should "deal" with peoples from the Caucasus is shared by most of their nationalists (and is gradually being supported by ordinary people as well). But don't for a second think that most of them can distinguish between these "Southern peoples" or that Armenians are somehow exempt from their racism and stereotyping.

          What does he say when imitating Armenians? I heard Damascus somewhere in there.

            Boston bombers' uncle married daughter of top CIA official

            Posted on April 26, 2013 by Daniel Hopsicker


            The uncle of the two suspected Boston bombers in last week's attack,
            Ruslan Tsarni, was married to the daughter of former top CIA official
            Graham Fuller

            The discovery that Uncle Ruslan Tsarni had spy connections that go far
            deeper than had been previously known is ironic, especially since the
            mainstrean media's focus yesterday was on a feverish search to find
            who might have recruited the Tsarnaev brothers.

            The chief suspect was a red-haired Armenian exorcist. They were
            fingering a suspect who may not, in fact, even exist.

            It was like blaming one-armed hippies on acid for killing your wife.

            Ruslan Tsarni married the daughter of former top CIA official Graham
            Fuller, who spent 20 years as operations officer in Turkey, Lebanon,
            Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. In 1982 Fuller was
            appointed the National Intelligence Officer for Near East and South
            Asia at the CIA, and in 1986, under Ronald Reagan, he became the
            Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence Council, with overall
            responsibility for national level strategic forecasting.



            At the time of their marriage, Ruslan Tsarni was known as Ruslan
            Tsarnaev, the same last name as his nephews Tamerlan and Dzhokhar
            Tsarnaev, the alleged bombers.

            It is unknown when he changed his last name to Tsarni.

            What is known is that sometime in the early 1990's, while she was a
            graduate student in North Carolina, and he was in law school at Duke,
            Ruslan Tsarnaev met and married Samantha Ankara Fuller, the daughter
            of Graham and Prudence Fuller of Rockville Maryland. Her middle name
            suggests a reference to one of her father's CIA postings.

            The couple divorced sometime before 2004.

            Today Ms. Fuller lives abroad, and is a director of several companies
            pursuing strategies to increase energy production from clean-burning
            and renewable resources.

            On a more ominous note, Graham Fuller was listed as one of the
            American Deep State rogues on Sibel Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege
            Gallery,. Edmonds explained it featured subjects of FBI investigations
            she became aware of during her time as an FBI translator.

            Criminal activities were being protected by claims of State Secrets,
            she asserted. After Attorney General John Ashcroft went all the way to
            the Supreme Court to muzzle her under a little-used doctrine of State
            Secrets, she put up twenty-one photos, with no names.

            One of them was Graham Fuller.

            "Congress of Chechen International" c/o Graham Fuller

            A story about a Chechen oik exec/uncle pairing up with a top CIA
            official who once served as CIA Station Chief in Kabul sounds like a
            pitch for a bad movie.

            But the two men may have been in business together.

            In 1995, Tsarnaev incorporated the Congress of Chechen International
            Organizations in Maryland, using as the address listed on
            incorporation documents 11114 Whisperwood Ln, in Rockville Maryland,
            the home address of his then-father-in-law.

            It is just eight miles up the Washington National Pike from the
            Montgomery Village home where `Uncle Ruslan' met - and apparently wowed,
            the press after the attack in Boston.

            The Washington Post yesterday called him a "media maven," while
            nationally syndicated Washington Post columnist Ester Cepeda , in a
            piece with the headline `The Wise Words of Uncle Ruslan' opined that
            he was her choice for "an award for bravery in the face of adversity.'

            Success through indirection, mis-direction, redirection, and protection

            Uncle Ruslan's spy connections go far deeper than was already known,
            which was that he spent two years working in Kazakhstan for USAID.

            But the mainstream media was lookng the other way.

            Under the headline `Did 'Misha' influence Tsarnaevs? In Watertown,
            doubts,' USA Today reported: `Misha. A new name has emerged in the
            Boston Marathon bombing case - one familiar to the family of the two
            young men accused of the atrocity and apparently of interest to the
            Russian and American security services as well.'

            Ruslan Tsarni was the first to bring up the supposed man's supposed
            name. Or rather, he brought up a first name: Misha. But it was
            enough. We were off to the races...

            Attention all cars: Be on lookout for chubby Armenian exorcist

            Tsarni described Misha to CNN as being "chubby, a big guy, big mouth
            presenting himself with some kind of abilities as exorcist . . .
            having some part-time job in one of the stores, not married. All of
            the qualifications of a loser, just another big mouth.'

            According to Uncle Ruslan, Misha was the man who over a considerable
            period of time had radicalized Tamerlan.

            It seemed strange, then, that in contrast to his `you are there'
            verbal picture of the man, even with all his supposed concerns, and
            given his high level of education and abundant resources (Big Sky
            Energy was paying him in excess of $200,00 a year, according to
            documents filed with the SEC) Ruslan had somehow never found out just
            who the bad guy was.

            He never got a name, something that in spook-dom is considered
            something of a faux pas. Then again, no one else had either.

            Worse, Tsarni's vivid description seemed to be taken from personal
            observation, from, in other words...real life. But that isn't possible.
            Tsarni had stated he hadn't been physically in the presence of his
            Boston relatives since December 2005. And Misha, if he existed, didn't
            show up on the scene until 2008 at the earliest.

            Still, just a few days later, the entire family began chiming in.
            Misha anecdotes were flying fast & furious, and the nation's
            scribblers were busy uncritically scribbling down their every word.

            Maybe their Twitter account got hacked again?

            No performance was nearly as masterful, however, as that of the
            Associated Press.

            `Bomb suspect influenced by mysterious radical,' reported the Associated Press.

            "Tamerlan's relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding
            the motives behind his religious transformation and, ultimately, the
            attack itself," reported the Associate Press. Only to take it all back
            in the very next line.

            "Two U.S. officials say he had no tie to terrorist groups."

            The AP's `story' about the mysterious `Misha' was 1145 words, long
            enough for an editor to squeeze in a caveat.

            `It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has spoken to Misha or
            was attempting to,' the national wire service reported. `Efforts over
            several days by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha
            have been unsuccessful.'

            The big difference: when you do it, its conspiracy theory. When we do
            it, its informed speculation.

            In any other context, this might be seen as the rankest kind of
            `conspiracy theory.' But, apparently, when the Associated Press does
            it, its news.

            Then Uncle Ruslan made a clear mis-step.

            `An uncle of the alleged bombers claims that Misha, an Armenian
            convert to Islam, had a huge influence on the elder brother, Tamerlan
            Tsarnaev. Describing him as an "Armenia exorcist, Tsarni said,
            `Somehow he just took his brain.'

            Armenians are a deeply-rooted Christian community, which is proud of
            the fact that their country was the first in the world to adopt
            Christianity as state religion in 301 AD.

            Moreover this is the week every year when they remember the Armenian
            Holocaust, when as many as 1,000,000 Armenians were slaughtered by
            Turkish Muslims.

            In the large and close-knit Boston Armenian community, a red-bearded
            Armenian named Misha becoming a radicalized Muslim would stand out.

            "I've never heard of him, nor has anyone that I know," Hilda
            Avedissian, executive director at the Armenian Cultural & Educational
            Centre.

            So what if the guy was involved with biggest bank fraud in history?

            "For an Armenian to convert to Islam is like finding a unicorn in a
            field," Nerses Zurabyan, 32, an information technology director who
            lives in nearby Cambridge told USA Today.

            The report reveals that the bomber's Uncle, made famous for his
            outspoken condemnation of his nephew's which aired repeatedly on
            international news networks, is a well-connected oil executive who at
            one point worked for a Halliburton shell company used as a front to
            obtain oil contracts from the Kazakh State.

            Ruslon Tsarni was implicated in an investigation involving the
            laundering and theft of $6 billion. But everybody loves Uncle Ruslon.
            At least most of America's mainstream media does.

            There has, to date, been no speculation at all about whether an uncle
            of the men suspected of the bombing who had been involved in
            international intrigue at the hightest levels, and who married the
            daughter of a top CIA official, might warrant a closer look.

            It's enough, isn't it, to turn even reasonably rational adults
            into - gasp! - conspiracy theorists.

            `News,' someone once wrote, `is selection. And selection is always
            based on an ideology and agenda, which is something to remember next
            time you watch, listen or read the `news.''

            Too true.

              Re: Boston Marathon bombing

              A contributor to the NYRB has interviewed the "mysterious" Misha. Turns out his name is Mikhail Allakhverdov and that his father is an ethnic Armenian and mother an ethnic Ukrainian. They fled Baku in the early 1990s.

              ‘Misha’ Speaks: An Interview with the Alleged Boston Bomber’s ‘Svengali’

              Christian Caryl

              Today I was able to meet “Misha,” whose real name is Mikhail Allakhverdov. Having been referred by a family in Boston that was close to the Tsarnaevs, I found Allakverdov at his home in Rhode Island, in a lower middle class neighborhood, where he lives in modest, tidy apartment with his elderly parents. He confirmed he was a convert to Islam and that he had known Tamerlan Tsarnaev, but he flatly denied any part in the bombings. “I wasn’t his teacher. If I had been his teacher, I would have made sure he never did anything like this,” Allakhverdov said.

              A thirty-nine-year-old man of Armenian-Ukrainian descent, Allakhverdov is of medium height and has a thin, reddish-blond beard. When I arrived he was wearing a green and white short-sleeve football jersey and pajama pants. Along with his parents, his American girlfriend was there, and we sat together in a tiny living room that abuts the family kitchen.

              ...

              In many ways, Allakhverdov’s parents seem typical former-Soviet émigrés who had embraced middle class life in the United States. His father is an Armenian Christian and his mother is an ethnic Ukrainian. The family had lived in Baku, Azerbaijan, but had left in the early 1990s for the United States to escape growing persecution of Armenian Christians there. The family was welcoming to me but very nervous. “We love this country. We never expected anything like this to happen to us,” his father said.

              As the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings continues, one of the more clouded aspects is the tale of “Misha,” a mysterious US-based Islamist who has been accused by members of the Tsarnaev family of radicalizing Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder of the two alleged bombers. “It started in 2009. And it started right there, in Cambridge,” Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CNN after the attacks. “This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely.” These accusations set off a frenzied search for what some reports have called an Islamic Svengali, and over the past few days, the FBI has said it has located and has been talking to “Misha,” though his identity has remained unknown. Today I was able to interview “Misha."

                You have to be stupid to attack America. Terrorist acts only isolate the Chechens and they're asking for trouble.

                    Ruslan Tsarni

                    By Alin K. Gregorian

                    Mirror-Spectator Staff

                    WATERTOWN - On April 30, Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of alleged terror
                    suspects, Tamerlan and Djokhar Tsarnaev, contacted
                    the Mirror-Spectator directly to issue an apology to the Armenian
                    community for his recent statements referencing Armenians in his
                    discussions of the Boston Marathon bombings.

                    "Armenia has a very strong culture, therefore, I want to stress that
                    his [Misha's] ethnicity has nothing to do with it," Tsarni said.

                    "I wish I had never said it."

                    Tsarni added, "I felt for you [Armenians] and wish I had never done
                    it."

                    He once again apologized for connecting the Armenian community "to
                    this evil event."

                    In previous media statements, Tsarni had discussed a recent convert
                    to Islam named "Misha" - now reported as Mikhail Allakhverdova -
                    stressing that he was of "Armenian descent" while implicating the
                    man in the possible "brainwashing" of Tamerlan Tsarnev with notions
