so older brother who brainwashed his younger brother into extremistic islamism came back to reality, felt remorse, and probably willingly exposed himself to be killed by cops/ paramiltary/the society/the world, only to leave his younger brother alone.
Yup, cowardly moves until the end. Now completely brainwashed and in a state of psychosis younger brother thinks he has to "avenge" his older brother...
To keep his mental sanity he is probably trying to self justify everything they did, what happened, his brother death, but the amount of thoughts being too thick and contradicting in his head he has to operate a selection and stick to basic beliefs in order to keep functionning. He will probably off himself before he s caught; if he s caught alive he will blow a gasket in custody.
