From comrade Talal: "On page 3:
The afternoon of April 15, Mr. Tsarnaev’s other Chechen friend Mr. Mazaev
received a text message from him. The marathon had been bombed, and the city was
in chaos. “Yo buddy are yu ok man?” Mr. Tsarnaev asked.
“Two bombs went off,” Mr. Mazaev replied. “People
losing limbs.”
“Yeah man we good mashallah,” Mr. Tsarnaev wrote back, using an Arabic phrase often
spoken upon hearing good news. “I automatically thought of yu man Boston
and what not.”
The NYT is absolutely malevolent in distorting its
translations..Needless to say, the suspect was simply saying he is fine, not
that the news is good."
