Bombers’ mother told older son to go to ‘Palestine’

Phone call between Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, was intercepted by the Russian security service

The mother of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers spoke with her older son about going to “Palestine.”

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in a telephone conversation from Russia with her older son Tamerlan, suggested that he go to Palestine during a discussion about jihad, the Associated Press reported. The Russian security service intercepted the phone conversation, according to the news service.

Mother and son reportedly discussed the ideay of Tamerlan going to the Palestinian territories, but he apparently said he didn’t speak the language there.

Russian officials told the FBI in early 2011 that they believed Tamerlan, 26, and his mother were religious extremists. Following what the AP called a “limited inquiry,” the FBI closed the case in June 2011.

Pretty clear these two had a terrible effect on each other.

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev "vaguely discussed" jihad during a 2011 phone conversation with his mother, according to a U.S. official who described the recording to the Associated Press. The call, taped by a Russian government agency, reportedly did not include any mention of a plot inside the U.S.
