Chechen fighters react to Boston blasts

TEHRAN, Apr. 22 (MNA) – A Chechen militia website has rejected any connection to the deadly bombing of the Boston Marathon.

 A notice published in the website said that “Chechen Mujahedeen are not fighting against the US,” adding that “we are fighting the Russians, which not only is to blame for invasion of Chechnya, but also for its involvement in heinous crimes against Muslims."

The statement signed by Mujahedeen commander of Emirate Caucasus region of Dagestan. U.S. authorities are investigating the visit by bombing suspects to Chechnya and Dagestan in the Caucasus part of Russia.
