The two brothers rented a car, a silver-blue Nissan Altima, from an Alamo car rental at Boston's Logan Airport and drove to an airport in Portland, where they got on US Airways Flight 5930 at 6 a.m. Tuesday headed back to Boston, the sources said.

Why would they do this?

To try to add to the trail. Hoping they would make it more confusing for the government to figure out until it was too late..

Another reason might be to avail themselves of easier security.

If they started their trip in Portland, Maine, they would not have to go through new security when the landed in Boston. Maybe Portland, Main has more lax security than Boston.

We're getting detail 'fragments', some of which has not been confirmed and may be somewhat unreliable. Its difficult to speculate like this.

Well, I take that back. Its very easy to speculate, but difficult to do so with any accuracy.

perhaps they wanted to tour a little before the left the earth for good? i mean, not that i'd ever be one, but if i was one of those guys, i might want to enjoy life a little before it left my body.

They just sorta answered this on the news...



They think they go to heaven, but yet they want everyone to know their names so they can be remembered as martyrs..

With everything so well planned, I wouldn't be surprised that they'd survey the scene more than a few times prior to execution.
