BOSTON – A second uncle of the two men suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings says the men have been in the U.S. for seven or eight years.
| They apparently had refugee status because of the problems in Chechnya. If I run the FBI that whole 'refugee' list gets a major review ASAP, even if each and every person had been 'thoroughly' vetted prior to gaining entry to our country. |
Alvi Tsarni told CBS News because of some issues in the family, he hadnÂ’t spoken to the two men for a couple of years.
| Perhaps the boys were getting to be more pious than the uncle, a man from an older generation, was comfortable with? |
However, he says Tamerlan called him yesterday to apologize for that.
“Yesterday he called me and said ‘forgive me,’” Alvi Tsarni said.
Alvi Tsarni expressed disbelief that his nephews could have committed such a horrific act. “I’m sorry too if he did this. It’s crazy… It’s not possible… I cannot believe he did this,” he said.
| Afraid so, Uncle. Just from the way you express your denial you know it's more than possible. |
