Laure Mandeville knows Chechnya well.
Mandeville is now chief US correspondent for the daily.
She came to Boston over the weekend to speak with members of the Chechen community here, and to friends and neighbors of Boston bombing suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
She says after having covered Russia and the former Soviet Union for years, tracing back the Tsarnaev brothers' steps through their close-knit community brought more questions than answers.
