The uncle of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing says, ”We’re devastated. We’re shocked” and speculates his nephews may have been motivated by their frustrations settling in the U.S.
Their uncle Ruslan Tsarni held a press conference outside of his home in Montgomery Village, Maryland where he said that they had brought ‘shame’ on both their family and their country.
Mr Tsarni said he had not spoken to the men – his older brother’s sons – for ‘a number of years’. The siblings lived together near Boston, having moved to the U.S. around a decade ago after growing up in an area of Russia near Chechnya.When he was told that Tamerlan had died, Mr Tsarni replied: ‘He deserved it. He absolutely deserved his it.’
