Suspects' Father Coming to US, Anzor to Help with Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Boston Bombing Investigation [PHOTOS/ VIDEO]
The father of Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhkohar Tsarnaev is expected to arrive in the United States in the coming days traveling from Dagestan, according to CNN.
Anzor Tsarnaev told reporters he may leave for the U.S. on Thursday and he said he would help officials any way they could with their ongoing investigation into the Boston Marathon bombings.
His wife, Zubeidat Tsarnaev, will not be coming to the States. The news report noted that Anzor might bring with him important information pertaining to the investigation into the April 15 explosions that killed three and injured 264. Human right activist Kheda Saratova is serving as the parents' representative.
Zubeidat will not be flying into the states because she is wanted on 2012 felony charges of shoplifting and property damage in Massachusetts, according to court officials. She was arrested after stealing several designer dresses from a Lord and Taylor in Natick, Mass, totaled in value to $1,624. She was charged with "larceny over $250 and two counts of malicious/wanton damage/defacement to property," a 2012 Patch.com report read.
Zubeidat and Anzor lived in the Massachusetts until she decided to jump bail, and they moved that year to Dagestan in Russia.
Tamerlan died late on April 18 following a shootout with police. His brother remained in the hospital but was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction.
As of Wednesday no one has claimed Tamerlan's body, the Massachusetts chief medical examiner office said. Some of his family members said this week that Tamerlan came under the influence of a man named Misha who preached to him in his kitchen and introduced him to a radical form of Islam.
'"It started in 2009. And it started right there, in Cambridge,' Tsarnaev's uncle Ruslan Tsarni told CNN from his home in Maryland. "This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely."
