Surprise: Boston Marathon terrorists had 'international ties' and 'military experience'
Two law enforcement officials told NBC News that both men had international ties, had been in the United States about a year, were in their early 20s and had military experience.
The suspect at large was described by authorities as light-skinned and with brown, curly hair, and wearing a gray hoodie.
“There is a terrorist on the loose,” a law enforcement officer said at a press conference before dawn.

Law enforcement officials said the tumult began just before 11 p.m., when the suspects approached a police officer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and shot him in the head.
The two then stole the officer’s cruiser, robbed a nearby 7-Eleven, carjacked a Mercedes SUV and briefly kidnapped the driver, the sources said. The suspects threw explosives out the window during the chase that followed, they said.
The dead suspect — the man in the black hat from the FBI photos — had an improvised explosive device strapped to his chest, law enforcement officials said.
Kitzenberg said that the firefight ended when one of the shooters ran toward the Watertown officers and ultimately fell to the ground. Kitzenberg said he could not tell whether the man was tackled or had been shot.
The other drove the SUV through a line of police offcers at the end of the street, he said. A bullet from the gunbattle lodged in the wall of Kitzenberg’s apartment, he said.I can't wait to hear their full identification.The AP has identified the live suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass. The dead suspect is apparently his brother. CNN has confirmed that they're Chechen.... Muslims?

When bro #2 escaped in a SUV, he ran over his brother's body.
CNN has already started the SPIN since the beginning, inviting "not to blame a group because of extremists".
My guess is that they were not extremely Jewish...
They must feel bad all the mainstream (leftist) media, who were practically praying for the terrorists to be White Anglo Saxon Protestants from a gun toting background.
Americans should honor the Second Amendment and run to buy weapons en masse, REAL weapons, the ones that allow you to shoot at a terrorist from a safe distance without fear of missing a few bullets because they are the last.
"CNN has confirmed that they're Chechen.... Muslims?" Since the only terrorists in Russia are Chechen Muslims, that's a safe bet. Al Qaeda terrorists? Another safe bet.
Follow-up-Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch has the info on their Islamic background. http://www.jihadwatch.org/
