Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, told a local television station that the suspects "do not deserve to live on this earth."
Tsarni told WBZ-TV in Boston (in an interview that was just aired Friday by CNN) that the two suspects — Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev — do not deserve to live, and he apologized to their victims.
“He deserved his. He absolutely deserved his,” Tsarni said of Tamerlan, who was killed early Friday morning. “They do not deserve to live on this earth.”
He added: "If he did this, I'm sorry, too."
In a subsequent press conference with reporters, Tsarni called both of the suspects "losers." He said that any notion of Islam playing a part in the attacks is "fraud."
"What I think was behind it: Being losers," he said.
"I respect this country. I love this country," said Tsarni, who was visibly angry throughout the press conference. "This country gives chance to everybody else."
