WATERTOWN, Mass.—Investigators in the Boston Marathon bombing case shifted their focus Saturday to hunting for a motive and preparing charges after apprehending a 19-year-old college student Friday night.

The charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who remained hospitalized with severe injuries, could be filed this weekend, but it might take longer as law enforcement officials continue investigating numerous crime scenes in and around Boston. Investigators were also eager to talk to Mr. Tsarnaev, who was listed in serious condition after being badly injured early Friday morning in a firefight with police officers that left his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, dead.

Investigators have alleged that the two brothers carried out the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three and injured more than 175 on Monday.

Authorities gave no indication of what motivated the brothers. Their family roots stretch to the Russian republic of Chechnya, which has been a wellspring of terrorism over the years.

the news media reporters are probably planting a Sarah Palin poster in the Chechen Muslim bombers bedroom

ISLAM

[plain talk]

Motive? It was a delayed reaction to the video that caused Benghazi. That’s the ticket.

WSJ, ask yourselves why you would never print a cartoon of Mohammed, and you’ll might have a hint.

Look at this: This was posted Monday on a BB and posted Tuesday on Freep (where I found out about it) by Freeper Texascajun. Just so you do not think I am BSing you, here is the thread....Look at post #78 and the date...

So far everything this anonymous guy has said has come true..

"..pin this on male late teens early 20's.."

"..wont find suspect till later this week...raid will occur on Friday"

Call me crazy, call me a conspiracy nut, but I do not trust ANYTHING coming from this administration which is led by an ADMITTED foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected Kenyan. If our own elections are subverted, our own constitution spat on, what makes people think the would not go to this length to ban gunpowder which = ban on bullets which = ban on guns? Absolutely they would do it!

Let's just wait and see what happens. Let's see if they bring up the NRA, let's see if they bring up the reloading powder/ gunpowder. And BTW: Just why are the relatives of these two saying they were set up? Our statist media is saying "He was a Muslim radical"...Oh really, show me the proof because I can't find anything on that.

I should have guessed

[Democrat_media]

Like this one but I remember that one too

[Mark17]

They just don’t get it.

On the contrary. They get it just fine, and they know exactly what they are doing. They are a bunch of America hating, Muzzie/commie loving bast---s.

CONSPIRACY THEORY
Maybe it was an assassination attempt on the Saudi guy? What are the odds of the Saudi guy just being there to get blown up?
The explosion gets blamed on the dead Saudi and case closed (not taking into accout the hundreds of pictures.)

[TigersEye]

What difference does it make?

[jimsin]

throw in an Allahu Akbar and i think you got it....

[353FMG]

The media know exactly what they’re doing — they are on the muslim payroll.

[SuziQ]

Please stop with the conspiracy theories. This has been covered non-stop since Monday, and there is video of at least one of the young men planting a bomb. There are also hundreds of photos of the two brothers, near the finish line, taken by ordinary folks who happened to be there.

The FBI did drop the ball on the older brother, and it would be interesting to know why, but there is ample evidence of their responsibility for the bombings.

[Gay State Conservative]

Bombing motive? Tax protester....NRA supporter...military veteran....?

Sorry,can't think of anything else.

[TigersEye]

Maybe Glenn Beck will add to that on Monday.

[pacpam]

If they, the writers of the article weren’t non-believers, they’d know the the motive. Ayn Rand said - believe it.
