Tamerlan and mother discussed Jihad in Palestine?

In early 2011, the Russian FSB internal security service intercepted a conversation between Tamerlan and his mother of a radical nature, officials confirmed to Orr.

The two discussed the possibility of Tamerlan going to the Palestinian territories, but he told his mother he didn't speak the language there, officials, who reviewed the information Russia shared with the U.S., told the AP.

Was this his mother's suggestion? Sounds like Tamerlan is having to make an excuse for why he wouldn't do so (doesn't speak the language).
