[h=3]By PAUL SONNE, ALAN CULLISON and LUKAS I. ALPERT[/h]MOSCOW—The revelation that the prime suspects in the Boston Marathon attack are a pair of Chechen brothers who emigrated to the U.S. has put a spotlight back on a region that has been a source of violence in Russia ever since the Kremlin crushed a separatist insurgency there.
The suspects, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and their family emigrated to the U.S. in stages around 10 years ago, having fled violence that rocked Chechnya in the 1990s, a family friend told The Wall Street Journal. No motive for the Boston bombings has been publicly identified.
