Terror behind innocent face
On April 15, 2013 the Boston Marathon bombings took place. The culprits were found to be two brothers, Tamerlan and Dzokhar Tsarnaev. After a brutal fight with an officer, the elder brother Tamerlan was killed and the younger one was arrested.
So now the question arises why a magazine like Rolling Stones has posted a picture of the younger brother on its cover. Many people have become outraged. But most people failed to realise that Rolling Stones issued the photo to show that behind the youthful nature and boyish face lies a monstrosity that shouldn't ever be forgotten.
The two brothers claimed that the reason behind their attack was the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, in what way have they ever hoped to fight for justice by killing innocents is something that only the younger brother can now explain.
With a promising academic performance, he enrolled in Dartmouth University and was described by several classmates as 'kind and nice.' You can't help but wonder what caused him to choose this unforgivable path.
