Americans are the real terrorists, says Boston bomber’s mother

From the Telegraph

Minutes after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been found guilty of killing three people in a bomb attack on the 2013 Boston Marathon, his mother defended him in a message to a supporter’s group. 

“I will never forget it. May god bless those who helped my son,” wrote Zubeidat Tsaernaeva. “The terrorists are the Americans and everyone knows it. My son is the best of the best. . . Tell everyone that I will never forget their support. May the creator bless them all for their support of my precious boy.” 

The message was passed to the Vocativ website by a friend. It was also posted to the “Help for Dzhokhar” site hosted on a Russian social networking site, VKontakte. 

His mother, a Russian native who left the US for Dagestan in 2012 after being charged with shoplifting, has always insisted that Dzhokhar and his late brother Tamerlan were innocent.

In a 2013 interview with The Telegraph, she said her son had been set up. “It’s a big show, a spectacle. Americans love a show,” she said.
