The leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, claimed American security services were responsible for the terrorist attack at the annual Boston Marathon, according to RIA Novosti.
Speaking about the suspects in the attacks, the brothers Dzhohar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, which the media have called Chechen natives, Kadyrov announced: “We do not know the Tsarnaevs, they have not lived in Chechnya, they lived and studied in America. What happened in Boston was the fault of American security services.” The head of Chechnya also stated that over the last year it has become customary to connect everything that happens in the world with Chechens, “even tsunamis.” He reminded his audience that accusations are not proof of guilt and noted that in any case the Tsarnaevs were brought up in America.
Ramzan Kadyrov also expressed his condolences about the terrorist attack in Boston, in which three people were killed and 180 others were wounded.
On his Instagram account, Kadyrov also expressed his condolences to the residents of Boston and the American people, but noted that it would have been logical not to kill Tamerlan Tsarnaev during the attempt to capture him, so that he could be detained and questioned. “It is evident that the special services needed to calm society by any means possible,” he wrote. Kadyrov also noted that the Tsarnaevs’ views and convictions were formed in the U.S., and that the roots of evil should be sought in America.
U.S. police suspect 19-year-old Dzhohar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan of carrying out the terrorist attack on Apr. 15, 2013. Tamerlan was killed on April 19 while being taken into custody; the search for Dzhohar continues. Police have already detained several people in the building where the brothers lived. A former FBI employee Don Borelli told the television station NBC that in recent years the Tsarnaevs had professed religious extremist ideas and had ties to a group operating on the territory of Turkey and Chechnya.
