Dzhokhar Tsarvaev, the 19-year-old suspected Boston marathon bomber, cited the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade as motive for carrying out the attack along with his brother, Tamerlan, U.S. officials told the Washington Post on Tuesday.
Tsarvaev is now considered in “fair” condition, according to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the hospital where he is still recovering.
