From the following Excerpt I received after church this morning I am becoming even more convinced the Boston Terrorists have some kind of link with the deadly minority SALAFIS JAHIDIS SUNNI GROUP in Chechnya. I consider the SALIFIS to be the most deadly terrorist group on planet earth, and they are growing and spreading in and out of the Middle East. I have kept track of them since 2007. Get the straight skinny on them from my three previous blogs.

Chechnya’s unrest casts long shadows
April 22, 2013
Carol Williams, MCT with New York Times
A massive Russian crackdown on Chechnya’s bid for independence in the 1990s and the installation of loyal leaders there pushed the Caucasus Muslim enclave from the headlines years ago. But resentment has festered and, at times, bled into the global holy war being waged by Islamic militants.
While it is unclear what link, if any, events in Chechnya have to do with the attack on the Boston Marathon, blamed on Chechen emigre brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the unhealed wounds of the Chechen conflict, which raged for five years after an uprising in 1994, serve as a reminder that religious and ethnic tensions can spill across borders.
Chechen fighters travelled to Afghanistan, Pakistan and neighbouring Caucasus regions for military and explosives training, joining their cause to a worldwide jihad. Chechen militants and foreign supporters who trained at al-Qaeda-run camps in Afghanistan were among terrorist suspects swept up after the US invasion and imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay or CIA ”black sites”. Some are thought to be in detention still.
Chechen warlords have been added to the US list of terrorism suspects. In February 2011, Doku Umarov was branded a fugitive enemy after he claimed responsibility for organising suicide bombings on Moscow’s subway in 2010, in which at least 40 people died.
Just a week ago, the US put the republic’s president, Ramzan Kadyrov, a former rebel turned ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the subject of a torture complaint, on a secret list of Russians banned from the US for human rights abuses, people briefed on the list said.
A handful of Chechens were among foreigners fighting US troops around Diyala in Iraq in 2005 and a small number of Chechen fighters has been reported in the lawless tribal belt along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, which has long been a sanctuary for al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
While many Islamic militants target the US because of its military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Chechen insurgency is more squarely focused on Moscow, often with deadly effect.
Chechen fighters seized hundreds of hostages in southern Russia in June 1995. More than 100 were killed in a botched raid to free them. Seven months later, rebels grabbed hundreds of people from a hospital in Dagestan, drove them to the Chechen border and used them as human shields. Dozens died.
