BOSTON ¨C Jurors in the trial on Tuesday of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev got to see the bloodstained message that prosecutors say he wrote on the inside of a boat he was hiding in before his violent capture, explaining his reasoning for killing innocent people.
¡°We Muslims are one body you hurt one you hurt us all,¡± the message read, citing what it said was aggression in Muslim lands. ¡°I don¡¯t like killing innocent people it is forbidden in islam, but due to said () it is allowed,¡± the message read, with a word missing due to a bullet hole.
