Zubeidat K. Tsarnaeva, the mother of Boston bombing suspects Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, suggested Friday that the FBI had been surveilling her older son for several years prior to Monday’s attack.

In an interview with Russia Today on Friday, Tsarnaeva said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev got involved in “religious politics” five years ago, and that the FBI had previously contacted her about her son’s activities.

“He was controlled by the FBI, like for three, five years,” she said. “They knew what my son was doing, they knew what actions and what sites on the Internet he was going [to], they used to come…and talk to me…they were telling me that he was really a serious leader and they were afraid of him.”

“How could this happen?…They were controlling every step of him, and they are telling today that this is a terrorist attack,” she added.

FBI did not answer an email inquiry by IransView.com regarding the allegedly the agency’s contact with the Boston bombing suspect. But the FBI National Press Office issued a statement on Friday about a 2011 request for information on Temrlan Tsarnaev from a “foreign government”. The statement didn’t specify the name of the foreign government but it confirmed 2011 contacts of the FBI with the Boston bombing suspect.

” The FBI also interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members. The FBI did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign, and those results were provided to the foreign government in the summer of 2011. The FBI requested but did not receive more specific or additional information from the foreign government.”

Tsarnaeva doubled down on her statements later in the interview, insisting that her sons were innocent, and had been “set up” by the FBI:

“FBI, they were scared of my oldest son, they always told me that he’s a leader…They are afraid of him because, you know, he is a leader, he talks about Islam a lot.”

“They were talking to my son, and they called me officially and they told me that my son is an excellent boy and they have no problem with him,” she asserted. “At the same time, they were telling me that…he is getting information on really extremists…sites, so they were very, very afraid of him. So that’s why I think that this is a setup.”

Tamerlan, 26, died Thursday night in a shootout with Boston Police. Tsarnaeva’s younger son, Dzhoker, 19, arrested on Friday.

“The US and other so-called human rights advocates remain silent on the massacre of innocents in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, but they cause a ruckus after a few blasts in the United States,” Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday in a meeting with the country’s Army commanders and personnel.

“Based on Islamic teaching The Islamic Republic condemns and rejects any kind of attack on innocent human beings, whether they occur in Boston or Peshawar or Baghdad or Syria,” he said.

“Despite America’s claims of opposing the WMDs, the United States’ drones, massacre innocent people, children and women in Afghanistan and Pakistan and the terrorists who are overtly or covertly supported by the US are killing people in Iraq and Syria,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Only in Pakistan, US’ Drone attacks have claimed the lives of more than 2500 people since 2004, a report by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimated on March 2013.

The report also shows that 314 out of the 366 drone strikes in Pakistan were under President Barack Obama’s administration.

The drones have been used by the US in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen.

Iran’s Supreme leader criticized the “The US military’s spirit of dominance”, saying “When such military complexes are deployed somewhere, they will cause immorality, troubles and killing for the people.”

“The attitude of the US and other so-called supporters of human rights towards the killing of innocent people is contradictory. So we believe that the United States and the front standing against the Islamic Republic of Iran are irrational,” the Commander of the Iran’s armed forces said.

“Because of these paradoxical and illogical behaviors and the denying of human principals, the Western civilization is on the verge of decline and collapse.”

Two explosions hit the Boston Marathon as runners crossed the finish line. Officials said three people were killed and 100 people were wounded as a result of Monday’s explosions.

President Barack Obama promised to hunt down whoever was responsible for the attack on a day when tens of thousands of spectators packed the streets to watch the world-famous race.

White House officials and investigators said it was too early to say whether the Boston attacks were carried out by a foreign or homegrown terror group or to identify a motive.

Alternative Stories to the Official Version of the Incident

In the social media and Western alternative media, lots of people are discussing other versions of the story. The most popular doubt raised about Monday’s incident says the explosions were in fact part of a drill by the Boston bomb squad.

“It’s now becoming clear that members of the Boston bomb squad had advance notice of the horrific bombings that took place at the marathon today. As an eyewitness reports, once the bombs went off, officials began announcing, ‘this is just a drill’,”an american blogger wrote in a piece.

 Russia Today also posted a piece titled “’Neither liberty nor safety’: Has American freedom’s race been run at Boston Marathon?” and suggested this incident can be used as tool to bring more fear to american people and limiting their freedom.

What Iranians say About Boston Incident?

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the Monday bomb blasts at the Boston Marathon.

“We believe all governments must try to maintain calm and security for everyone. Acts of extremism and terrorism have to be uprooted across the world and no effort should be made to justify violence,” the ministry’s spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparas said.

In the social media, Beside expressing regret and condemning the bombing incident in Boston, Iranian users on Facebook and Google Plus networks critiqued:

“It is really sad that people were killed in the Boston Marathon bombing but why does no one care when Iraqis are dying everyday in terrorist attacks? “ wrote Mohsen, an Iranian student in his Google plus profile.

“I recalled [American involvement in] Iraq and Afghanistan when I saw the sad photos of the Boston bombing.” another user posted in Facebook.

“In the footage of the explosion it is only smoke, no buildings are destroyed and it seems to be a weak explosion, nothing flew into the air. Casting some doubt on the magnitude of the official claims of destruction” Mahnaz wrote in in her Facebook page.

 KhabarOnline, Iranian news site close to Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran’s Majlis in an interview with a political analysts suggested “Involving internal extremists in the Boston bombings is the most plausible story. ” The incident happened on Patriot’s day and there are many extremists who could try to show their objection to US foreign policy.”

Raja News, the news website close to Paydari front, one of the Principalist’s political wings, asked in its post about the Boston bombing, “Are the Boston explosions another Sept 11?” Raja believes, contradictory statements published by the White House and local authorities, suggests that it was another controlled attack.
