The father of the Boston bomb suspects, Anzor Tsaraev, speaks to the media at his home in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in southern Russia, April 19, 2013.

A man who identified himself as the father of two brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings said on Friday he believed his sons had been framed and pleaded with police to spare his younger son who was still on the run.

Sitting on an unmade bed in his home in Dagestan's provincial capital Makhachkala, Anzor Tsarnaev, defended his sons' innocence.

“Somebody clearly framed them. I don't know who exactly framed them, but they did. They framed them. And they were so cowardly that they shot the boy dead,” he told Reuters, clasping his head in despair.

“I'm scared for my boy - that they will shoot him dead too,” said the thin man in a black-and-blue sweater. “They should arrest him, bring him in, alive. And the judicial system should investigate everything, who's right and who's guilty.”

:

U.S. law enforcement officials say the two suspects in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing are legal U.S. residents of Chechen background, identified as 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

The elder brother died from wounds sustained during a shootout with police. Dzhokhar, the suspect wearing a white hat in pictures released after the marathon bombings, is known as "Suspect Two" to police, who said he is armed and dangerous.

The brothers were believed to be living legally in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and have at least one sister.

A young Chechen who lives in Boston and knew the family said in an interview with VOA's Russian Service that the Tsarnaev family lived mainly in Central Asia before coming to the U.S. more than eight years ago.

Multiple sources, including Temirmagomed Davudov, a school headmaster in Makhachkala, the capital of the Russian republic of Dagestan, say the Tsarnaevs are originally from Kyrgyzstan and are of Chechen ethnicity. The headmaster said the two Tsarnaev brothers attended his school and left for the United States in 2002.

PRI reporter Robin Young says her nephew is friends with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the suspect being hunted by police, describing him as a "beautiful boy." A Buzzfeed article quotes several people who the reporters say attended the Cambridge Ringe and Latin School with the suspect. "In fact, as recently as November, I played pick-up basketball with him and he seemed like he was doing great at UMASS Dartmouth," they quote one former classmate as saying.
