Can't argue with that. If the younger kid was 9 when he moved, you might understand a lesser link. But living in a country for your first 17 and most formative years...Still, as Unknown Soldier says, unusual for Chechens to target the U.S. Perhaps the reporter meant there was less of a link to terrorist organisations in Chechnya, which makes sense as they have a more localised agenda. But the reporter himself seemed a bit...I dunno, immature or inappropriate? Starting the sentence with "Ahem" for instance.
