Makachakal, Russia Home of the Suspects of Boston Bombing


The two Tsarnaev brothers, who are the suspects of the Boston bombing, grew up in Makhachkala, Russia. In 2012, Tamerlan Tsarnaev lived there with his parents and the authorities wanted to know if it was there that he was taught or inspired to kill. The 26 year old was killed in a shootout in Watertown, Massachusetts and would be able to answer to give an answer to that question. His 19 year old brother Dzhokhar is in a Boston hospital where he is being questioned. FBI agents spent Wednesday in the Dagestani capital talking with Tamerlan and Dzhokhar's parents, according to an official in U.S. President Barack Obama's administration. The U.S. investigators were joined by members of Russia's Federal Security Service, human rights activist Kheda Saratova said. Both of the parents have publicly stated that both of their sons are innocent. It is also not known what was said when the parents’ had their talk with the U.S. and Russian authorities. Dagestan is home to violence and civil unrest. It included gun and bomb attacks that target security services. Speaking of bomb attacks it included a suicide bombing at a police checkpoint that killed 12 people and left dozens wounded and Tsarnaev was rumored to be there. After he returned from his trip from his home town, he created two videos on YouTube under a category labeled “Terrorists.” Those two videos from his channel have been deleted since then.
