Parents of Boston bombing suspects have 'fled their home in Russia' as mother claims she called an ambulance for her husband - and he is no longer planning to visit the U.S.

The parents of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects have left their home in Dagestan for another part of Russia and the suspect's father is no longer planning to fly to the U.S. later this week to bury his eldest son and cooperate with the FBI investigation into the attacks.
The suspects' mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaev, told CNN that that her husband, Anzor Tsarnaev, is indefinitely delaying his trip to the U.S. because of health reasons. She claimed she had to call an ambulance for him on Thursday but did not elaborate on what happened.
Zubeidat told Fox News that on Friday he is was planning to go to a Moscow hospital to treat 'nerves, head, stomach and elevated blood pressure.'
She was never planning to accompany her husband to the U.S. because she faces felony shoplifting charges here.

News of the parents' apparent flight from Dagestan comes one day after a bizarre press conference in which they claimed that the gruesome carnage of the Boston attacks, which kill three people and injured more than 200, was staged by the government.

'America took my kids away from me,' she cried. 'I’m sure my kids were not involved in anything.'
The mother of the suspected bombers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, went so far as to claim that the blood covering the streets after the blasts was in fact paint.
The couple's eldest son, Tamerlan, was killed in a police shootout last Friday and Dzhokhar was taken into custody - alive, but badly injured - less than 24 hours later in Watertown, Mass. following a massive manhunt.

After spending nearly a week in a Boston hospital recovering from gunshot wounds sustained during a firefight with police, Dzhokhar was transferred to a prison facility on Friday. He has been charged in the marathon attacks and is facing a maximum sentence of the death penalty or life in prison.

The Tsarnaev family emigrated to the U.S. a decade ago, but both parents returned to Russia last year.
The father said Thursday that he was planning to travel to the U.S. as soon as Friday, but hadn't yet bought a plane ticket.

Banging the table in front of him, Anzor said: 'I am going to the United States. I want to say that I am going there to see my son, to bury the older one.
'I don't have any bad intentions. I don't plan to blow up anything.
'I am not angry at anyone. I want to go find out the truth.'
Zubeidat also described a figure known only as 'Misha' - who has been pinpointed as a source of radicalization for her son Tamerlan.
She said that he was a 'very nice man', of Armenian origin and living in Boston. 'Misha' is also apparently a convert to the Islamic faith.

It is almost a week since the Boston bombers' reign of terror came to an end.

The suspects' father has already been interviewed by Russian and American authorities - and would face further interviews if he is still planning to fly to the U.S. 
Speaking out on Wednesday, Mrs Tsarnaev launched into a bizarre rant in which she claimed she would not care if she or her youngest son were killed by U.S. authorities.
'If they are going to kill him, I don't care,' she told CNN of Dzhokhar.
'My oldest one is killed, so I don't care. I don't care is my youngest one is going to be killed today. I want the world to hear this. And I don't care if I am going to get killed too. And I will say Allahu akbar!'
She said that the only reason her sons were targeted was because they were Muslim, adding that she saw footage of Tamerlan being killed 'really cruelly.'
U.S. authorities are on their way to speak with Zubeidat Tsarnaeva in the aftermath of the bombings.

ABC News reported on Tuesday that Mrs Tsarnaev failed to show up at a court hearing stemming from a July 2012 arrest.
If she returns to the U.S. to visit her hospitalized son or make burial arrangements for the other, she could be arrested on an outstanding warrant.
Mrs Tsarnaeva, 45, allegedly stole $1,600 worth of clothes from a Massachusetts Lord & Taylor store.
She was charged with two counts of malicious/wanton damage and defacement to property after allegedly swiping the merchandise from the retailer's Natick, Mass. location in June 2012.
She was due in court on October 25 for a hearing in the case, but never showed up.
The Lord & Taylor location is not the same as the one on Boylston Street in Boston, where a surveillance camera captured what police say is her younger son dropping a pressure cooker bomb that was hidden inside a backpack.
The family's lawyer Heda Saratova, asked for the family to be left alone and said that the parents had just seen pictures of the body of their elder son and were not up to speaking with anyone.
