Mother of Boston bombing suspects arrested last year for 'stealing $1,600 worth of clothes from Lord & Taylor'

The mother of the two Chechnyan brothers suspected of setting off two bombs at the Boston Marathon was arrested last year for allegedly stealing $1,600 worth of clothes from an upscale department store.

Zubeidat K. Tsarnaeva, 45, was charged with two counts of malicious/wanton damage and defacement to property after allegedly swiping the merchandise from a Lord & Taylor in Natick, Mass. in June 2012.

She also spoke today to proclaim that her son's didn't plant the bombs and that they are ''100 per cent innocent.'


'This is a set up, my son would never ever carry out such terror attack,' she said Friday. She went on to say: 'FBI knew everything what my son was doing, told me he was serious leader, that they were afraid of him.'

Mrs Tsarnaeva went on to say that Dzhokhar was raised in the US and insisted that 'no one ever talked about terror' in their house.

She stole $1,624 in women's clothes, according to a Patch.com story.

Her sons allegedly left two bombs, packed with ball bearings and other materials, near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday.

Is this going to turn into one of those weird Lincoln/Kennedy, Kennedy/Lincoln things? So far we have Jahar, suspect 2 becoming an American citizen on 9/11/12, then there's this. The Universe is a strange place indeed (sometimes - most of the time it's just random).

and back.

Good thing she is not in America. I think she'd be facing some overdue justice herself.
