Zubeidat Tsarnaev: "America took my kids away from me"

The mother of the Boston marathon bombings suspect says she regrets that the family emigrated to the US more than 10 years ago.

At a news conference in the Russian republic of Dagestan, where she now lives, Zubeidat Tsarnaev said America had taken her children away from her.

She also reiterated she was sure her sons were not involved in the attack.

It is being reported that her elder son was added to a terrorism database 18 months ago at the CIA's request.

Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded when two devices exploded at the Boston Marathon on 15 April.

"I would prefer not to have lived in America, why did I go there?" Mrs Tsarnaev said at Thursday's news conference in Makhachkala, Dagestan.

"I thought America would protect us, America took my kids away from me... I'm sure my kids were not involved in anything."

Her elder son, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed a few days after the bombing during a shootout with police.

His younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was captured and charged in connection with the attack.

The suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, has said he will travel to the US on Thursday or Friday. The family has said it wants to take the dead son's body back to Russia.

Zubeidat Tsarnaev has said she is still undecided whether to go because she was charged with shoplifting in the US last year and fears arrest if she returns, AP news agency reports.

In questioning from his hospital bedside, where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is being treated for gunshot wounds, he has reportedly said he and his brother were angry about the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2012, his older brother spent six months with relatives in Dagestan, which has an Islamist militant insurgency.

But politicians said on Wednesday after closed-door briefings that the brothers are not believed to have had direct contact with a militant organisation.
