TWY,
These two are radical Islamic terrorists.
Yeah, a couple of radicals who were stupid enough to stay in the Boston area, drive around with IEDs, carjack a Mercedes-Benz (not too subtle there), and brag to the driver about how they were the bombers.

Come on, Madrid and London were hit harder by Al Qaeda than Boston was. These guys may have been Muslims who were radicalized, but this terrorist act really doesn't seem to be on the scale that it could have been given recent history.

Plus these two were from Chechnya, which may have a sizable Islamic population but isn't exactly one of the likely sources of Islamic terrorism you can think of.

So don't go telling me that my instincts are bad. Nothing really was predictable in this whole episode.
