(CNN) -- Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told investigators his older brother Tamerlan was the driving force behind last week's attack and that no international terrorist groups were behind them, a U.S. government source said Monday.

Preliminary interviews with Tsarnaev indicate the two brothers fit the classification of self-radicalized jihadists, the source said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a Boston hospital, has said his brother -- who was killed early Friday -- wanted to defend Islam from attack, according to the source.

The 19-year-old has been charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death, and one count of malicious destruction of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death.

So he's confirming the religious grounds for the attacks. I hope this doesn't lead to more discrimination against Muslims in the U.S.

Good luck with that. This is the United States you know..

Muslims have been discrimination against since 9/11 and this will only make it worse.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's easy to pin this on a dead person.

I don't believe him for a second. Just because his brother was one year older than him doesn't mean anything.

I don't understand

How would blowing things up defend Islam from attack? This only makes people stereotype and hate them more.

Oh...

Lol what kind of irony if this is true. You're going to protect Islam by only making people against Islam even more. Stupid against stupid -_-. Anyways both sides are just plain sad. Anyways I am tired of people painting this horrid picture of Islam. I mean take a look at your own religion and you'll see that it has its own problem. These religious extremists are so very annoying and they are a burden on out society. Hopefully through education and through progress as a society that we will be able to get rid of this ignorance DX.

Sigh. Islam does not condone this. You are not doing any justice to it.

Someone could have taken a **** on the ground during that marathon and all muslims would get the blame for it.

Why is that hard to believe? we pretty much thought this but again he took part in this so he has to pay for that.
Sad all around.

For such a major news story, you should all read the article in full and watch the video.

The government source cautioned that the interviews were preliminary, and that Tsarnaev's account needs to be checked out and followed up on by investigators.

Quote:

A federal law enforcement official told CNN that while investigators have seen nothing yet to indicate the suspects were working with anyone else, a lot of work remains before they can say confidently that no others were involved. That official would not comment on any motive or specifics on what Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has communicated to officials.

So religion strikes again.

That is still a difference of only 7 years

everyone said that the living brother was smart so if he didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have. I don't believe this guy at all and tbh he was probably the driving force.

His brother is obviously the ringleader.

Considering the younger one went to school in America, went to prom, had friends, lived in a dorm, went to parties, gained citizenship, etc, while his older brother was investigated by the FBI years prior, wasn't able to gain citizenship, and went back to Chechnya for 6 months where he probably became radicalized and learned how do do all of this stuff... yeah, it's quite obvious.

The younger brother is still just as guilty though. But in life, there are leaders and there are followers.
