Here's where Chechnya is on a map.
Following the First Chechen War from 1994 to 1996, Chechnya gained independence from Russia. However, the Second Chechen war from 1999 to 2000 brought Chechnya back under Russian rule, and a nine-year insurgency period followed. It's not clear how much time the brothers spent in Russia.
It's estimated the brothers came to the U.S. in 2002 or 2003.
