Zubeydat Tsarnaeva, the mother of Johar Tsarnaev, accused of committing the Boston terror act, has announced her intention to go to the USA in order to take part in the trial of her son.

The court session is scheduled for July 10.

Zubeydat said in her interview to the BBC that her son was not involved in making the bombs and she hoped that he would soon return home.

Earlier Johar's father Anzor Tsarnaev also stated his son innocence and said that he had been framed by American authorities. "I had loved the United States until they killed my son," Anzor said in his interview to the British TV Channel 4 on June 4.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Zubeydat Tsarnaeva told that her family had opened a bank account in Germany to raise money for legal services for her younger son; and in Makhachkala she received 8000 US dollars from individuals who wanted to help them.

It is noteworthy that a criminal case had been opened against Zubeydat Tsarnaeva in the USA on charges of stealing some elite clothing in a Boston store to the sum of 1600 US dollars.
