The recovering Tsarnaev, according to the sources of The Washington Post, told investigators that the attack in Boston is the revenge of the Americans for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. It is not yet clear whether the younger Tsarnaev admitted his guilt for the explosions, but he claims that it was the idea of his older brother Tamerlane, who was killed during a shooting with the police. The accused assures that they did not have accomplices, the brothers acted together. Such an interpretation of events in their public statements adhere to official representatives of American law enforcement services. However, critics of this version doubt that the Tsarnaevs were able to build explosive devices, guided only by written instructions from the Internet.
On Tuesday, during special hearings, American senators demanded from the Minister of Internal Security Janet Rino explanations why her department lost sight of Tamerlana Tsarnaev, despite the signal from Russia to take a closer look at him. Why did he not attract the attention of special services after returning from a long half -month trip to Russia in 2012? Because, the Minister of Internal Security answered, "the annual period of the corresponding warning made by the FBI expired to the return of Tsarnaev."
Such an answer raised new questions from Senator Lindsay Graham. "From my conversations with the leadership of the FBI it follows that it did not know that Tsarnaev left the United States, it did not know when he returned. I would like to hear more from you, whether he went exactly where he went. When we say that in this case there was no signs of a large -scale conspiracy, I would like to know where this is known. After all, the investigation is in an early stage," the senator said. The minister promised to provide the senator during a special closed meeting all the information that the special services have.
The Russian trace occupies many. The American media quote the relatives of the eldest Tsarnaev, who say that the stay in Russia was greatly affected by his views, it was after returning that he placed references on sources close to the radical Islamic groups.
Meanwhile, new information appears, as Johar Tsarnaev was captured. He was found in a motor boat located in the courtyard of one of the houses. Immediately after the operation, it was reported that the suspect had entered the shootout with the capture group. But, as employees of special forces said in an interview with CBS, the younger Tsarnaev surrendered without a fight. “I saw a suspect who, leaning, was sitting on the side. His hands hung inside the boat,” says the policeman Saro Thompson, “there was a feeling that his strength was left. It seemed that he was close to the loss of consciousness. Blood on his body was visible. I ordered him to go down to the ground. We did not know if he had a weapon, whether he was in the boat, whether he was holding in his hands. After a small pause, he raised his hands, there was nothing in them. It turned out that in the boat Johar Tsarnaev had neither weapons nor explosives.
According to the Associated Press, the investigators' interest is the mysterious figure of a certain Misha, a close friend of Tamerlane Tsarnaev. Relatives of Tsarnaev point to Misha, a native of Armenia, who accepted Islam as a key figure in the transformation of his older brother into a heightically believing Muslim. His influence on Tamerlana Tsarnaev was supposedly overwhelming. However, no traces of the mysterious Misha are still detected.
