also, I heard in WOSU NPR this morning that the attack was possibly due to these guys wanting to exact revenge on the USA for not getting involved in Bosnia.............. If that really is the case, WTF?! we get involved in some things, people get mad and retaliate or we don't get involved and the same thing happens.
WCBE separately did not report that this morning but did talk about how Al Qaeda has some considerable influence in Chechnya...whether or not this means anything yet is not yet determined, as far as I know
