The older suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings vaguely discussed “jihad,” a Muslim holy war against infidels, with his mother in a 2011 phone conversation secretly recorded by Russian officials, CBS News reports on Sunday.
In early 2011, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) intercepted a conversation between now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the ethnic Chechens who had emigrated from southern Russia to the Boston area over the past 11 years, according to CBS.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva has previously denied that she or her sons were involved in terrorism. She has claimed her sons have been framed by US authorities.
