The families and supporters of members of the SEAL Team 6 unit which was lost on August 6, 2011 in Afghanistan spoke out yesterday at the National Press Club. Some believe that the unit was set-up for assassination, perhaps betrayed by Afghanis working for the Taliban, to shoot down the CH-47 Chinook helicopter carrying 38 people, including 17 Navy SEALs. But the story gets even worse as a video shows the ′ramp ceremony′ where the bodies of the dead soldiers were returned to the United States. The Pentagon and Obama administration arranged for a Muslim cleric who was allowed to essentially insult our fallen heroes, condemning them to Hell and disparaging ″the God of Moses″. The incident paints a grim and tragic picture of how the Barack Hussein Obama administration is corrupting our military services on many levels, including political correctness and Muslim ′outreach.′

Our old pal Glenn Beck has a conspiracy theory about a third suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. A Saudi national, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, was a ′Person of Interest′ briefly following the terrorist attack two Mondays ago. Even Janet Napolitano admitted that he had been placed on a Terror Watch List for a couple of days until the FBI checked him out and allegedly found no evidence connecting Alharbi to the attacks. But some flags were raised about the young man from Saudi Arabia, enough to get six members of Congress, led by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), to make inquiries. Meanwhile, Beck continues to push for answers with his various venues, including his news website, The Blaze.

As the Boston bombing investigation continues, the White House announced yesterday that terror suspect Dvhokhar Tsarnaev was read his Miranda Rights while in hospital. The Justice Department has decided to treat the case as a normal criminal offense. Initial charges include the use of a weapon of mass destruction, which could mean the death penalty, along with malicious destruction of property. Additional charges will be filed as a Federal grand jury convenes in Boston in the near future, as well as other charges to be filed by the State of Massachusetts and the City of Boston. But once again, the Barack Obama administration is wimping out on the War on Terror, or as they put it, ′Overseas Contingency Operations′ and ′Man-made Disasters.′

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, RCMP, made news yesterday busting up a Canada terror plot targeting the Via Rail passenger train service from New York City to Toronto, Ontario. Raed Jaser of Toronto and Chiheb Esseghaier of Montreal were arrested following a six-month investigation known as Operation Smooth. Canadian officials report that the two terror suspects had ties to an Al Qaeda branch operating out of the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, the officials say that there is no evidence of ′state-sponsored terrorism.′ According to RCMP officer James Malizia, the plot called for blowing up a bridge while the passenger train was crossing into Canada from the United States.

Here is the latest news on Boston bombing suspect Dvhokhar Tsarnaev and his medical condition. According to Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, Tsarnaev is now awake and able to communicate in writing. However, he is still considered unfit for any interrogation and is still listed as being in ′serious but stable condition.′ There is also some speculation now that Tsarnaev′s throat wound may have been self-inflicted, perhaps an attempt to commit suicide to avoid being captured. Federal prosecutors have yet to file any official charges and the issue of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect being classified as an ′enemy combatant′ is still being considered. Justice Department officials do claim that even if Tsarnaev is classified as such, he will still face the usual legal system and be tried in Federal courts as opposed to military courts.

Now that the two Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, have either been killed or captured, it is time to look at the how and why these two brothers went from being Chechen refugees to Islamic terrorists. Both were born in Kyrgzstan but the family later moved to the Muslim republic of Dagestan, along the southern border of Chechnya. In 2002, the family, or at least Dzhokhar and his mother, moved to the United States, granted political asylum by our State Department. The story of Tamerlan is more unclear. He may have arrived with his other family members to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2002, or possibly later in 2004. Either way, Tamerlan returned to Dagestan at some point early on. He later returned there in the spring of 2012 and was out of the United States until mid-August of last year.

Events are moving fast following a shoot-out with police in Watertown, Massachusetts and the Boston bombing suspects. Since the FBI released images and video of two men connected to the Boston Marathon bombings just after 5pm EDT, Thursday, quite a bit has happened, especially in the surrounding areas near Cambridge through Watertown some 9 miles west of M.I.T.. The whole Boston area is under a lockdown as a joint task force of Boston and local police, along with the FBI and other agencies conduct a door-to-door search for Suspect #2, also known as ′White Hat′, who has now been identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaez, 19, who hails from either Chechnya or Turkey and has been in the United States for about a year along with his brother, Suspect #1, or ′Black Hat′, as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26. As the situation is fluid and still unfolding, here is a timeline of manhunt events for what took place overnight, though some information may be corrected later.

Two Boston Marathon explosions near the finish line erupted at 2:57pm EDT, killing 3 and wounding 144 others. The terrorist bombings took place at Copley Square on Boylston Street. Yesterday, the City of Boston celebrated Patriots Day with their annual marathon as well as other events. Police Commissioner Edward Davis described the bombs as ″powerful devices″ which detonated within seconds of each other about 100 yards apart near the marathon′s finish line. Barack Obama would not refer to the incident as a terrorist attack when he addressed the nation, but a ′senior White House official′ did tell reporters after that the incident was obviously terrorism. The Boston Marathon injury count currently stands at 144 wounded, with about 105 people still in hospitals. Of those, 17 are listed in critical condition and 25 in serious condition. Of the three known deaths, one was an 8-year old boy who had just hugged his father for completing the marathon before the carnage began.
