Again with the limited information. Anything other than Islamic terrorism seems unlikely.
(and this comes from someone who has always been saying on the lounge that the chances of new Islamic terrorism in the US were exaggerated).

Except there is actually zero evidence thus far that points to any radical Islamic terrorist organization being involved.

You of all people here should know better than to make such presumptuous statements, eppie. People will conveniently blame their current favorite scapegoat (in this case Islamists) just so it gives them an excuse or justification to spread their hatred even further, and the Western media and their indoctrination tactics doesn't help matters any either. I've already seen people blame this on North Korea. I'm not a fan of N.Korea or its so-called 'great man' leader by any stretch of the imagination, but lets get real here - N.Korea had nothing to do with this. And unless these two young men are part of some Islamic terrorist organization, you can count them out as well.

FIT,

I know I am making assumptions, that is why I started my posts saying there is limited information and we are just (educated) guessing a bit now.

However Chechenya is known for its muslims extremism, not for it's anti marathon sentiment.

Further I read that the older brother had been spied on because they thought he was a small extremist leader.

The simplest explanation is usually the right one so that is why I don't believe in anti-marathon or anti-IRS terrorism.
(but indeed I have no proof of course)
