The mother of the Boston bombing suspects was called by the FBI years ago to ask if her eldest son had been radicalised, she said in an interview with a British TV station broadcast on Tuesday.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva told Channel 4 News that US federal agents had approached her about her eldest son Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a shootout with police on April 19.
Tamerlan’s brother Dzhokhar, 19, has been charged over his alleged role in the attack on the Boston Marathon and remains in hospital with gunshot wounds.
Their mother told Channel 4 News: “They were monitoring him (Tamerlan) — and I know that because I used to talk to them. They used to come to our house, like two, three times.”
“What happened was a terrible thing,” she said. “But I know that my kids have nothing to do with this. I know it. I am mother. I know my kids.”
