Note From Boston Bombing Suspect: Attack Was Retribution for Iraq, Afghanistan Wars
The remaining suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings left a note written on a wall in the boat where he was hiding justifying the attack as retribution for the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, CBS reported on Thursday. "When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims," the note read. It called the marathon victims "collateral damage" just as Muslims have been "collateral damage" from U.S.-waged wars.
