Secretary of State John Kerry commented on the Boston Marathon bombings Wednesday, saying that alleged bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a gunfight with police last Friday, returned from a trip to Russia last year “with a willingness to kill people,” the Boston Globe reported.
In impromptu remarks on terrorism made in Brussels, Kerry said in response to a question about disillusioned young people in other parts of the world that similar problems exist in the United States.
“We just had a young person who went to Russia, Chechnya, who blew people up in Boston,” Kerry said. “So he didn’t stay where he went, but he learned something where he went and he came back with a willingness to kill people.”
