  1. I would like to know why there is no firm info on the families travels from late1986 to 2001. There are reports out in some media sources that the family was displaced from the Chechen area do to the conflicts. Where did they go, what country or area did they stay in? I suspect that Tamerlan made some lifelong childhood friends during this time of conflict and displacement. These old buddies may be some of the folks he went to reconnect with in the Russian/Chechen area last year (jan-july2012). The guy (Abu Dujana), in the islamic video, looks about the same age as Tamerlan and i would not be surprised if these two and others like them (Islamic Militants) paths had crossed sometime in their childhood. Abu Dujana was killied by Russian special forces in dec 2012 at an apartment building in the city of Makhachkala, Dagestan; which is only a couple of mile away from Tamerlans dads house in Makhachkala. I think his islamic radicalization may be as simple as peer pressure and DNA (ethnic Chechen/muslim).

  3. I find the older brothers name of some historical interest, Tamerlan or the sword of Islam/the central asian conqueror. Its also been reported that he spent some time in the former Soviet state of Kurdistan.
  4. This is my first post. I am retired USAF and all the posts about mortgages got me thinking about a few mortgage related questions I have. I live near two major bases, have a couple friends who are realtors, and these are some of the observations I have made in my neighborhood about, 0-2 thru 0-5, and home mortgages. Ob1#. Get the best or close to the best interest rate available. Ob2#. Realtors top rated customer base, 5 stars. Ob3#. Average length of holding mortgage 3 to 5 years before PCS or retirement for senior folks. Ob4#. 0-2/3 first mortgage in career, 0-4 second or more mortgages in career, 0-5 third or more mortgages in career. Based on my gut observations i was wondering; apx how many mortgages would a typical officer hold during a normal career (20 to 30 years) and whats is the average length of the mortgage?
