Talking Points Memo: Bombing Suspect’s Uncle: ‘If He Did This, I’m Sorry’
-By Igor Bobic
April 19, 2013- An uncle of the Boston marathon bombing suspects said Friday that he was stunned to learn that 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving man who is still at large, was involved in the incident.
"It's crazy," Ruslan Tsarni said in an interview with CBS affiliate WBZ. "It's not possible. I can't believe it."
"I'm sorry, too," he added. "If he did this, I'm sorry, too."
Tsami, who lives in Montgomery Village, Md., told the Associated Press that the men lived together near Boston and have been in the United States for about a decade. They came from the Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars.
