Father claims they were Framed!

Well I'm glad they got him alive and I hope he stays that way so we can get answers as to why!

I'd go along with that!

I hope and pray they catch him alive so we can know why? What was the purpose of killing innocent people. Especially that this one just got his US citizenship on 9/11/12.

Getting his citizenship on a date of 9/11 is doubly ironic

Isn't it!

Lets hope that they worked alone but who knows. Hopefully, he will live to talk about it. I heard he was unconscious.

That is what I heard that he threatened the US so only time will tell what the real truth of all this is. If others were involved or did these to brothers worked alone.

Thank God as of tonight it seems like he is responding and writing down answers to what the officials are asking him. Hopefully we will have some answers soon.

He might have been trained in Russian and then brought his brother on board to help out in this terrorist attack.

So the oldest son was being investigated by the FBI in 2011. They should have been keeping a closer eye on him then. Shameful!

Yes he was, cnn news is reporting.. that another country claimed he had ties to a terrorist group.

I don't know if the Dad was involved. That is going a bit far in my opinion. I think he is just in shock because he thought his kids were doing good here in the US. What I wonder about is why the uncles said he kept his family away from his brothers family. I find that quite interesting. We shall see when more knews comes out about these kids.

Until we know for sure what if anything was the dad's involvement we can't just jump to conclusions and prosecute him. He was in Russia when all of this happened. He did make some rather threatning statements to the US if anything happened to his son but it is possible he was in shock. Give it time and more of the story will come out.

I was thinking about this exact thing. Wondering how many more young people are out there thinking of how to do harm to others. It is a scary world when you have young people bombing or shooting people for their own agendas.

I would be willing to bet that they didn't work alone. They were probably just the ones on the low end of the totem pole who were selected to carry out the actual attacks. The people who actually planned the attacks, and perhaps the ones who actually built the bombs (or helped to build the bombs) are probably part of a terrorist cell positioned somewhere in or around the Boston area. I doubt these two young men had the vision, the knowledge, and the resources to plan, prepare, and carry out this attack on their own. These terrorist groups move into an area one or two people at a time, then spend months or even years networking, recruiting new members, and gathering information and resources needed to carry out an attack somewhere. It is highly likely that these two young people belonged to a group of dozens of people who are still out there planning their next target. This looked to me like a trial run for something bigger. It is as if they made a couple of bombs to test their skills, then picked two young members of the group to plant the bombs as a test of their loyalty to the cause. I have a terrible feeling that we will be attacked again soon on a much larger scale if this is the case...

They for sure are not being framed I just hope they did it alone because if not then there could be more bombs and violence to come, and that is very scary to me.

You are right that the parents believe that their children are innocent when they are obviously not. Denial is the first stage of acceptance I suppose. I think that their father knew as evidenty the eldest son spent six months there recently -presumably being trained. I hope that the younger son lives so mor information can be got.I congratulate the security forces in Boston. Sa dto see it was a military zone but they got their man. The Uncle seemed like a decent man - a man of prnciple and integrity but I hve doubts about his brother. I think the father knew what was going on. Obviously just my personal opinion as I have no proo

Dragon54u -I feel sorry for both the mom and dad. I can't wait to hear what this kid says about everything. I hope he lives to tell us everything and why!

I would be in shock if the dad knew what was going on. To put his sons in danger like that. I seriously think it was the older son that got caught up in something and he brought his younger brother into it. From the phones that we heard from the Dad he seemed to be in a bit of shock. Hopefully though we will find out the truth of it all.

The mom had the same reaction as the father stating they were framed. It couldn't be true. I don't wish this on any parent, it has to be the hardest thing to live through knowing your children are responsible for people dying and people losing their limbs. Devastating to say the least.

Did she? Well I can imagine. If it were me then I would feel really drained and who knows for how long either. Must be a very tough situation for them and all the other relatives involved around them.xxx

No even if others are connected it will not be a framing incident. It would be they are part of something bigger. I know the uncle stated he kept his family away from his brothers family. When asked why he said it was personal. I just wonder if he knows more then he is saying.

I totally agree with...you get no argument from me....

They got reports that he had terrorist ties. The FBI investigated him and found him not to be a threat!!

That is what has gotten me wondering because the Uncle claimed he always kept his family away from his brother's family. I wonder why? Is it that they are terrorists. The older son has been watched by the FBI or CIA since 2011 I wonder why?

I guess I'm a realistic person that if I see the video and hear what is happening then I would have to believe it. As shocking as it is you never want to think your child could do something as evil as this. I guess you start questioning what kind of a parent were you while raising them.

It's true, many are in denial and don't believe it. I knew my cousin was drunk and caused an accident killing a man. His mother never believed it to this day, even after he admitted to it, and did jail time.

He is or was probably in shock when talking to our reporters here in the US. I just hope when he comes to see his son that between him and the FBI, CIA we will find out if there are more people involved and or they did it all alone.

I don't know about that. That is a bit extreme to me. If everyone who felt like a loser at anytime in their lives reacted in this manner the world would be in big trouble. I believe it has to be something bigger then that. We shall hopefully find out soon the true reason for all this horror.

Yes, they need to make sure the boys were not working for an outside terrorist group. However, I believe if they were there would be more guys at the marathon helping in getting what they wanted accomplished and it would have been seen on the videos. Only time will tell and I just hope this kid lives long enough to tell us everything.

"They had explosives on them and they were throwing them at people." Okay. Guess I missed that part
