North Caucasus rebels deny link to Boston bombings

A website prominently used by Russia’s North Caucasus rebels on Sunday denied any link to the Boston Marathon bombings that have been blamed on two ethnic-Chechen suspects.

“The command of the Vilayat Dagestan mujaheddin… declares that the Caucasus fighters are not waging any military activities against the United States of America. We are only fighting Russia,” the Kavkacenter.com website said in an official statement.
