    The two brothers, from southern Russia, practiced Islam.

    The U.S. officials spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.

    One of the brothers died in a police shootout Friday. The other brother was formally charged Monday after being questioned by federal officials in his hospital room where he is recovering from multiple injuries.

    How could this be true, since Islam is a religion of peace! Isn’t it???

    Good point! Admitting they were motivated by religion – the Muslim religion – and no official terrorist organization association – of course! Its about time the world comes to realize that the Muslim religion in of itself teaches violence as stated explicitly in the Koran and anyone who believes in the Koran is prone to violence. Period!
