Father Of Boston Bombing Suspects Says Sons Have Been ‘Framed’

The father of the Boston bombing suspect says his son is a “true angel” and is being framed.  In an interview with Interfax, a Russian news agency, he said:

“I learned about the incident from TV. My opinion is: the special services have framed my children, because they are practicing Muslims. Why did they kill Tamerlan? He was supposed to be caught alive. The younger is on the run now. He was a sophomore at a medical school in the U.S. We expected him to come home for vacation. Now I don’t know what’s going to happen. Tell you once again: I believe special services have framed my children,” the man said.

And the AP reports:

In an anguished interview, the father of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing described his fugitive son as a smart and accomplished “angel.”

Anzor Tsarnaev spoke with The Associated Press by telephone from the southern Russian republic of Dagestan after police said one of his sons, 26-year-old Tamerlan, had been killed in a shootout and the other, Dzhokhar, was being intensely pursued.

“My son is a true angel,” the elder Tsarnaev said. He said his son was “an intelligent boy” who was studying medicine.
