It turns out (according to someone who said she was an aunt of theirs in an interview on NPR), they were only in Chechnya for a year, they knew nothing about Chechyan politics and cared even less. They were born in Kyrgyzstan, and spent some years there before going to Chechnya and then the US. They are Muslim, but the family isn't especially religious, and had a mother who was Christian (I gather she converted to please her husband?).

Here is NPR's bio of Robin Young, the correspondent/host of Here and Now whose son went to school with the young suspect:

The information we have doesn't add up very well. We will have to wait awhile to get better info. I hope they get the younger brother alive.
