The mother of the Boston Marathon blast suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, says it is impossible that her two sons were responsible for the violent events this week and insists the brothers have been setup by the FBI.
Anzor Tsarnaev said that he could not believe that his sons were behind the fatal bombing
Zubeidat Tsranaeva, who lives in Russia, said on Friday that her sons were innocent, while their father screamed and yelled in a separate interview in defense of the brothers.
‘They never could have done this. Never, ever, ever!’ said their father Anzor Tsamaev who lives in an area of Russia called Makhachkala.

He also said that he believes that his sons were set up, and without going into specifics, he said that if his younger son was killed once he is found, then he would see it as proof that there was a conspiracy afoot.
‘If they killed him, then all hell would break loose,’ he said to ABC News.
‘If they kill my second child, I will know that it is an inside job, a hit job. The police are to blame.’
In a surprising twist, he said that he spoke to both of his sons just yesterday, days after the two bombs killed three and injured more than 180 people at the Boston marathon on Monday.
The boys told him: ‘Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good.’

When asked what he would say to his living son, he said: ‘Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia.’
The boys’ mother, Zubeidat, echoed those sentiments, similarly accusing the FBI of setting up the boys in a Friday interview with RT America.
She said her older son, Tamerlan, became religious five years ago and claimed he had been spotted as a ‘leader’ in the movement and was being watched by the FBI.
‘My two sons are really innocent and I know neither of them have never, never talked about what they’re saying about them now,’ she said.
Zubeidat described the boys as very communicative and said they called her often, telling her everything that was going on in their lives.

‘I know my son never spoke about those things. I am a mother, I raised them.’
‘My oldest son used to tell me everything. He used to call me and ask me “how are you mama?“ Both of them, “mama we love you, mama how are you, we miss you.“‘
‘My sons would tell me. My son would never keep it a secret. If there is anyone who would know, it would be me.’
The father has openly discussed the family’s situation with the media.
‘I feel terrible! Why they kill my son? Something wrong! My sons never do bombing. They hated guns – how they do bombs?’ the boys father told People.
The parents of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, brothers Tamerlan, 26, and Dzhokhar, 19, Tsarnaev are insisting that the boys are innocent of the charges laid against them.
‘I talked to my sons yesterday, both of them. We talked about the bombing. I was worried about them, they said they were okay.’
The first suspect- identified by officials as 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev- was shot and killed during a firefight with police but his younger brother Dzhokhar was able to escape and remains on the run.
He went on to say that they were good kids with ‘big dreams’.
‘I am very depressed. How am I going to live? Never I think in my mind this happen. My sons hate people who do bombs, they hate terrorists. Why they kill my son? And where is my other son? They have time to catch my other son, not kill,’ he said.
Earlier on Friday, Anzor talked to the Associated Press, calling Dzhokhar ‘a true angel’.
‘Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here.’
The siblings’ mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, gave an interview to the English-language Russian news channel RT America, insisting that her sons are ’100 per cent innocent,’ and that they have been framed.
‘This is a set up, my son would never ever carry out such terror attack,’ she said Friday.
She went on to say: ‘FBI knew everything what my son was doing, told me he was serious leader, that they were afraid of him.’
Mrs Tsarnaeva went on to say that Dzhokhar was raised in the US and insisted that ‘no one ever talked about terror’ in their house.
That favorable picture of the 19-year-old and 26-year-old bombing suspects comes in stark contrast to what one of their uncles recalled.
An uncle of the Boston bombing suspect who died early Friday morning said that he was a ‘loser’.
Rather than being upset about his nephew’s death, their uncle Ruslan Tsarni who lives in Maryland called Tamerlan a ‘loser; and said that he ‘deserved’ his death this morning.
Initial reports say that he was strapped with an explosive when the shoot out began in the early hours of Friday morning, though it still remains unclear whether he died because the explosive or because of a gunshot.
He was declared dead within ten minutes of being taken to a local hospital.
‘I wish they never existed,’ Mr Tsarni, who lives in Maryland, told local Boston station WBZ.
Ruslan Tsarni said that the brothers had lived in America for nearly decade since traveling from Chechnya in Russia.
He had not spoken to the boys since 2009 and said that he did not recognize them when he saw the photos released by the FBI on Thursday evening.
‘I’m wordless… shocked,’ Mr Tsarni said.
‘They do not deserve to exist on this earth.’
Ruslan called Tamerlan a ‘loser’, he described his younger nephew Dzhokhar as a quiet kid.
The boys’ aunt, Maret, is a surgeon who lives in Canada. She used to be in Chechnya and her acts as a battlefield surgeon are described in a book.
‘This is a huge tragedy for the family. My brother’s two boys, they are growing up so fast,’ she told The Toronto Sun.
‘My first reaction is, ‘Why the hell would they do this?’ But when I go through all the material, it’s not giving anything… the whole world is now making a decision (on them) now by just seeing these pictures and not having anything else.’
She told how her older brother Anzor had high expectations for his children, especially his older son Tamerlan.
Anzor was disappointed when he heard that Tamerlan, who was killed in a shoot out early Friday morning, had dropped out of college, but she thought that he had a happy life.
‘Within the family, everything was perfect,’ she said.
One hint of tension that she did reveal, however, was that Tamerlan ‘seemingly did not find himself yet in America, because it’s not easy.’
She said that the 26-year-old became a devout Muslim ‘but just recently, maybe two years ago, he started praying five times a day.’
‘He has a wife in Boston and from a Christian family, so you can’t tie it to religion,’ Maret told reporters.
