Boston Attack Renews Fears About Homegrown Terrorism4/20/13 online.wsj.com/ article/SB10001424127887324763404578433113880189762.html -U.S. counterterrorism policy since 2001 has focused largely on killingterrorists overseas or preventing them from getting into the U.S. But theBoston bombings show how the diffusion of terrorist tactics easily transcendsborders. Countering small groups of individuals inside the U.S. can be abedeviling assignment. Bruce Riedel, director of the Intelligence Project atthe Brookings Institution Washington think tank, said the Boston attack waslikely a harbinger. We are likely to see this as the future face of terroristthreats to the United States, he said, adding that the case of a small numberof radicalized participants who have lived in the U.S. and execute a plot isthe counterterrorist communitys worst nightmare, homegrown, self-radicalizing terrorism that learns its skill set off the Internet.

One week after the Boston bombing, questions remain about the attack, thesuspects the Tsarnaev brothers and their motive. GlobalPost reports onthe wide-ranging investigation that spans from Boston to Russia andbeyond...In 2011, the US government acquired Video Synopsis technologyfrom the Jerusalem-based startup that created it, BriefCam...The technologyseparates a static background from a dynamic foreground, superimposingevents so an hour of activity can be viewed in one minute.

But Amit Gavish, BriefCam's generalmanager for the Americas, told GlobalPost The relevant agencies are clientsof ours, referring to the law enforcement groups involved in the Bostonhunt...BriefCams Video Synopsis extracts activity that took place at differenttimes to present it as simultaneous events, then condenses the time framefrom 60 minutes real-time activity to 60 seconds review time, allowing theviewer to see all the events in a shrunken period of time and to individuallyinterpret the findings.

Dr. Kevin (Ilan) Tabb, president and CEO of the Beth IsraelDeaconess Medical Center in Boston told the Israeli website Ynet Tsarnaev isin stable condition but that because of wounds may never be able to speakagain. Tabb received his medical degree at the Hebrew University inJerusalem and is a board member of Hadassah-Ein Kerem Hospital inJerusalem... background gave him a unique perspective responding toMondays terrorist attack.Dr. Daniel Talmor, the Israeli physician ER at Beth Israel Deaconess MedicalCenter tells Israel Army Radio Tsarnaev has serious injuries, but I believe hewill live. Police asked medical staff not to offer further details on the suspectwho Talmor says is in isolation with very, very tight security....The feeling isalways that Israel is home, especially in days like today Talmor worked inIsrael in the 1990s and treated victims of Palestinian terror attacks then thatkilled and maimed civilians....The subject of a mass terrorist act is somethingwe practice a lot. I think one of the reasons for the good treatment thepatients received on Monday is because we were already trained for a mass



terrorist act at the marathon. The staff responded professionally to thewounded... to both of the terrorists the main feeling of the staff is a feelingof closure that they were able to capture the terrorist and to arrest him....treating him like any seriously injured patient, professionally, exactly likeIsraeli doctors, Israeli staff treat all the injured who arrive...Former U.S.Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk also noted the similarity with Israelsexperience with Palestinian suicide bombings... on a visit to Israel thisweekend, he told Israel Channel 2, Its strange Im hereand its happeningback home...Home grown terrorism is a very scary thingto imagine they arein our beds. .Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren described the shared U.S.-Israeliexperience of being in the crosshairs of terrorists:The people of Boston,who on the day of the bombing were celebrating libertys birthday, will notsubmit. Our experience in Israel has taught us that communities andcaregivers, police and security forces, elected leaders and volunteers canunite at such times and block terrorists from achieving their objectives .

Chechen Terror Usually Aimed at Russia4/19/13 Updated Wall St. Journalhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732476340457843265330423385...(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324763404578432653304233858.html)

MOSCOWThe revelation that the prime suspects in the Boston Marathonattack are Chechen brothers who emigrated to the U.S. has put a spotlightback on a region that has been a source of violence in Russia ever since theKremlin crushed a separatist insurgency there. The suspects, Dzhokhar andTamerlan Tsarnaev, and their family emigrated to the U.S. in stages around10 years ago, having fled violence that rocked Chechnya in the 1990s, afamily friend told The WSJ. No motive for the Boston bombings has beenpublicly identified.Rebels in Chechnya began agitating for independence...in the wake of theSoviet Union's 1991 collapse. The Kremlin sent in troops to quell therebellion over the course of two bloody wars. In recent years Chechens havecarried out a series of terrorist attacks in Russia years aimed at destabilizingthe Kremlin's hold...Only a few hundred Chechen families have settled in theU.S., mostly on the West Coast, said Almut Rochowanski, program director ofthe Chechnya Advocacy Network in New York..."There is a very smallcommunity in the Boston area, particularly the Watertown area." She saidmost arrived in the U.S. through a refugee resettlement program granted bythe U.S. Embassy to those deemed to be under threat in their home country,rather than as asylum seekers.

he official media arm of the Chechen mujahedeen, the Kavkaz Centerpublished a blog post that suggested the investigation into Mondays deadlyattack is part of an anti-Chechnya PR campaign The Kavkaz Center mockedthe "lightning speed" at which the two known suspects in the attack on theBoston Marathon Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was at large on Friday, andhis brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a firefight with lawenforcement were identified. The news that the brothers attacked policeofficers, carjacked a man and did an array of other things, instead of goinginto hiding, looks strange at the very least, the article said... also that theyounger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was very far from your typical Islamicterrorist. He named career and money as his main credo...he just loggedonto his Russian social networking site a few hours ago...In a passionateinterview with reporters the brothers uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, also vehementlydenied that there was any connection to the Chechen insurgency....
