http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/05/21/tsarnaev-note-reveals-motives/9393919/Dzokhar Tsarnaev, charged with the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon last year, wrote in a note as he hid from police in a boat that he was jealous of his dead brother for going to the "garden of paradise."
The disclosures come in court papers as Tsarnaev's attorneys fight to keep the note and statements gathered at Tsarnaev's hospital bedside from being used in his trial.
"The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians," Tsarnaev wrote. "I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all."
-------------
So he targets and kills more innocents in the name of religion?

That still isn't a good reason to kill and maim the innocent people of Boston. In fact, there is never a good reason for targeting and harming innocents.

In the events that unfolded after the bombing and subsequent flight, hideout and shootout; while injured Tsarnaev managed to find a pen and paper and scribe a note on the merits of his actions?
