(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The elder Tsarnaev, in a series of conversations with ABC News, insisted that his sons were innocent, but said he would appeal to his son to "surrender peacefully."

"Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia," the dad said.

The father warned, however, "If they killed him, then all hell would break loose."

"If they kill my second child, I will know that it is an inside job, a hit job. The police are to blame," the father told ABC News. "Someone, some organization is out to get them."

Anzor Tsarnaev said that his sons were "set up" and that they are "very nice kids" who have no experience with weapons and explosives.

The father said his two daughters, ages 22 and 24, live in the U.S. One lives in West New York, N.J.

Profiles of the brothers give a conflicting picture.

The older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was described as an outgoing person who was a champion boxer, a "decent" pianist, drove a Mercedes and liked the movie "Borat." But in captions on an undated boxing photo album operated by photographer Johannes Hirn, Tamerlan Tsarnaev said, "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."


He also told the photographer he was a "very religious" Muslim boxer who did not smoke or drink. One caption said he usually did not take his shirt off so girls wouldn't get bad ideas.

"There are no values anymore," he said, and worried that "people can't control themselves."

The younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is now described as willing to die in a battle with police, but he was better known for taking acting classes, advanced placement courses and being a star athlete with lots of friends in high school.

He played soccer every Monday with University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth classmates, but didn't show up for this week's game. He didn't return his teammates calls. One teammate told ABC News that Dzhokar Tsarnaev was a "quiet guy" who was "a little bit of a druggie."

"He never seemed out of the ordinary at all," high school classmate Sierra Schwartz told "Good Morning America" today. "This is not someone who seemed troubled in high school or shy. He was just one of us. It's very weird."

One of the most surprising details about the younger Tsarnaev brother is the revelation that he became a U.S. citizen last year on 9/11, the anniversary of the worst terror attack in U.S. history.


Steven Owens told ABC News, "I met him when I was in seventh grade and he was just a great kid. He was fun to be around. Very studious, very smart. I don't remember a time when he was ever having trouble in school. He was a great athlete. Great to be around."

Owens said Tsarnaev "always had a positive attitude," but had expressed some political opinions in school.

"He always thought the war [Iraq, Afghanistan] was stupid," Owens said. "He didn't enjoy the idea of war. We didn't really talk about it much. The only time it ever really came up was when we were learning about it in school."

When Owens first saw authorities' photos of Tsarnaev, he wasn't positive it was him since he hadn't seen him in a few years.

"I started looking through my yearbook because I thought I recognized him and there he was," Owens said. "I was just so surprised."

After high school, Tsarnaev went to UMass Dartmouth. School officials said today that students are being evacuated from their dorms, following confirmation that Tsarnaev lived in the Pinedale residence hall.

The search for Tsarnaev, of Cambridge, Mass., has effectively shut down Boston and its surrounding cities today, including Watertown, Mass., where the brother was killed in an overnight shootout.

Boston is on lockdown and police are engaged in a large operation in Watertown.

Law enforcement sources tell ABC News the suspects are believed to be brothers are of Chechen ethnicity and their family came from the semi-autonomous Russian province of Dagestan. A law enforcement source confirmed that at least one of the brothers is a legal permanent resident in the United States.

You my friend, obviously are in the same state of oblivion as his father. Okay, yes he is trying to save his sons, but they seem to be guilty. If the sons were actually framed, the sons still belong dead/ in custody, because they engaged fire with police officers. Probably the first brother that died didn't actually bomb anything, but he still killed a MIT Officer. Either way they belong locked up.

I'm really hopping to find out the full story behind this bombing because the lad that was accused seems really normal and doesn't look like the sort to do something like this. It's just strange.

Yes they were totally framed. That's why they were throwing bombs at police and running away instead of pleading innocence. :dumb:

to go along with that he was shot and ran over by his brother as he tried to flee from the cops
