Chechnya is an ideal location for breeding anti-western sentiments due to its close proximity to nations where extreme grudges are held against western belligerents in the war against terror, its history of oppression at the hand of Russian infidels (which will be used to sway opinion), endemic corruption, easy access to small arms and explosives and its mountainous, often inaccessable terrain which makes it hard for the otherwise long arm of the law to make its presence felt.
Chechens switched their focus on other targets because they knew from first hand experience that Russia rarely answers to anyone, and thus their reactions have been breathtakingly brutal. Whereas targets in the comparatively cuddly West are regarded as a softer and potentially less painful option.
As to why they abandoned a medical degree to carry-out this act, my guess is that they were radicalised during their studies.
