The father of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, is in the Russian city of Makhachkala, according to the Associated Press.
Speaking with the AP over the telephone, Anzor Tsarnaev spoke glowingly of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect who is still at large who is in the U.S. studying medicine. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a firefight with police early Friday.
“My son is a true angel,” the elder Tsarnaev said. “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.”
