The bodies of 12 people have been recovered after an enormous Texas
fertilizer plant explosion that demolished surrounding neighborhoods for
blocks and left more about 200 other people injured, authorities said Friday.Texas
Department of Public Safety Sgt. Jason Reyes said it was "with a
heavy heart" that he confirmed 12 bodies had been pulled from the
area of the plant explosion.Even before investigators released a confirmed
number of fatalities, the names of the dead were becoming known in
the town of 2,800 and a small group of firefighters and other
first responders who may have rushed toward the plant to battle a
pre-explosion blaze was believed to be among them.Reyes said he could not
confirm Friday how many of those killed were first responders.The mourning
already had begun at a church service at St. Mary of the
Assumption Catholic Church the previous night."We know everyone that was
there first, in the beginning," said Christina Rodarte, 46, who has lived
in West for 27 years. "There's no words for it. It is
a small community, and everyone knows the first responders, because anytime
there's anything going on, the fire department is right there, all volunteer."One
victim Rodarte knew and whose name was released was Kenny Harris, a
52-year-old captain in the Dallas Fire Department who lived south of West.
He was off duty at the time but responded to the fire
to help, according to a statement from the city of Dallas.Authorities spe
tion has been made, so far there
is no evidence to support the view that the brothers were acting
on behalf of the Chechen cause -- but the motivation for their
actions remains wide open.Fox News is told investigators will be looking
for computer traffic to the Al Qaeda web magazine Inspire which provides
a how-to guide to build pressure cooker bombs -- which were used
in the Boston Marathon attack.Fox News is told that investigators are eager
to execute warrants at the residences and to review the brothers' computers
but this is being approached with extreme caution given the potential, after
this week's successful explosions, to leave booby traps.While authorities
are following the paper trail, the Capitol Hill source said the consensus
in the intelligence community is that it's "really important that we try
to take this guy alive" so he can be questioned. The goal
is to find out whether more are involved."We would really prefer to
have that intel," the source said.The source said officials know the two
suspects are Muslim, but don't know if they attended a mosque in
the area -- and are looking closely at that possibility.Fox News' Catherine
Herridge and Bret Baier contributed to this report.

Russian region where Islamic militants have gone after Russian targets.The
uncle of the suspects told reporters late Friday morning that one of
the suspects was in fact born in Dagestan, saying this has "nothing
to do with Chechnya" and "Chechens are peaceful people."Craig Albert, an
expert on Chechnya and associate professor at Georgia Regents University,
said any connection between these suspects and the jihadist movement in
Chechnya would have "severe" implications for the U.S.But he also said it
might just be "isolated individualized terror" where the suspects are using
Chechnya ties to "rationalize" violence.The ties between major Islamic extremist
groups and Chechnya, though, are well-documented, particularly pertaining
to extremists' support for the separatists in Chechnya.The Taliban, when
it was in power, was one of the only governments to recognize
Chechnya's independence.An Al Qaeda-tied Chechen warlord named Ibn al-Khattab
was, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, said to have met
with Usama bin Laden during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. He was
killed in 2002 by the Russians.Signs of Islamic radicals fueling unrest
in Chechnya continued to surface. According to the report by the George
Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute, foreign fighters
have flocked to places like Chechnya, Bosnia and others with a jihadi
presence.
d it pursued damages in the case.But, according
to the report, the Justice Department stayed away from that case in
order to get the city to drop an appeal to the Supreme
Court on another matter. The department was allegedly concerned that the
high court, in the course of reviewing that case, would strike down
a major element of civil rights enforcement.The case the Justice Department
was allegedly concerned about was St. Paul's appeal on a case in
which property owners said the city made extraordinary efforts, through
strict code enforcement, to condemn their properties. The owners said reducing
the amount of affordable housing for minorities violated the federal Fair
Housing Act -- by what is known as "disparate impact."Perez appeared to
think the Supreme Court overturning the case would have been a severe
blow to civil rights enforcement, the report concluded.The "disparate impact"
provision, which the report described as legally questionable, prohibits
housing policies that end up discriminating against certain groups even
if those policies are not blatantly discriminatory.Perez acknowledged Thursday
that he thought that case "was a poor vehicle for the Supreme
Court to address the broad issue."Asked why he intervened, he said "The
Department of Justice is really a guardian of the Fair Housing Act."Alexander
retorted: "Well, the Department of Justice is a guardian of taxpayers as
well."But Perez noted that the value of a losing case
