MAKHACHKALA / WASHINGTON / WEST NEW YORK, April 24 (RIA Novosti) - Russian father of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings told RIA Novosti on Wednesday he had great doubts about his son’s ability to give testimony.
“He gives no testimony. He is even unable to speak,” said Anzor Tsarnaev, a resident of the volatile republic of Dagestan.
He reiterated his intention to travel to the United States “as soon as possible.”
“Maybe I’ll fly as early as Wednesday, depending on circumstances,” he said.
Late on Tuesday, the FBI confirmed reports that Tsarnaev’s health has improved.
Meanwhile, the sisters of the two suspects, Ailina and Bella Tsarnaev, issued a statement calling the blasts a “callous act” and saying they were “absolutely devastated.”
In a statement, issued by lawyers on their behalf, the sisters ask the media to respect their privacy.
“We don’t have any answers but we look forward to a thorough investigation and hope to learn more,” the statement reads.
