If his brother is Tamerlan Tsarnaev, then he was a boxer.

Chechnyans are by and large Muslims.

[Denny]

85-90% Muslim population.

Chechnyans are by and large Muslims.

...and by and large muslim rebels too. Their fight is with Russia, not us.

eta: I take part of that statement back. The US has captured/killed many a Chechnyan fighting us here in Afghanistan.

They use them for snipers a lot, right? This is a crazy mess.

not sure on those stats but they fight a little higher up the mountain. They are higher tier than local afghan fighters. Usually just under Saudi fighters. But they bring a lot to the table for the anti-coalition forces in the way of tactics and training.

You guys are better than Drudge on this....subscribing

[Vertnut]

I didn't know they were by-and-large muslims. I DO know they have done some really bad terrorism shit in Russia. Haven't they targeted schools, etc. and taken kids as hostages?

[Trip McNeely]

The Chechnyans are bad motherfuckers, I know that. That's scary shit. I wonder how many more cells there are of them in the US. I hope they get some intel from computers or what not from these guys because they wont get the last guy alive I have a bad feeling.

[krazy kris]

No way they could be Muslim, that's a religion of peace.
