Returning from a fact-finding trip to Russia, Congressman Stephen Cohen (D-Tn) told The Hill on Tuesday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of the two Russian brothers who perpetrated the Boston Marathon terror bombing,
really wanted to join Hamas in Gaza, but because he did not speak Arabic, he joined Chechen 'rebels' instead.
Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev hoped to join an
anti-Israeli movement in Gaza, but ended up joining Chechen rebels in
Dagestan because he didn’t speak Arabic, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) told
The Hill in an interview on Tuesday.
Cohen and a group of five
other lawmakers returned Monday from a trip to Russia, where they met
with the head of a Russian counter-terrorism unit, the director of the
Committee for State Security (KGB), and other national security
officials.
JPost adds:
Reading from notes from a briefing with Russian intelligence
officials, Republican Representative Steve King said Monday that they
indicated Russia had told the FBI that Tamerlan was "very close to
radical Islam and very religious."
"I suspect that he was raised to do what he did," King said of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Indeed. And Gaza is the number one attraction to these people.
Or the White House staff. Either one.
