Zubeidat Tsarnaev, the mother of the Boston bombing suspects, tells CNN's Nick Paton Walsh (@npwcnn) she's not sure what to think of the attack that left three people dead last week.
“I saw a very, very interesting video last night that they – the marathon was something like a really big play," says Tsarnaev. "There is like, paint instead of blood, like it is made-up something.”
CNN's Nick Paton Walsh (@npwcnn) tracks down Pateimat Suleimanova, an aunt of Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, in Dagestan.
Here she discusses Anzor Tsarnaev's reaction to seeing his sons on television, as well as her reaction to Tamerlan adopting Islam.
"It's strange to me that it was him [Tamerlan] who adopted Islam – not his father, not his mother, but himself. They hadn't prayed before they went to America. Nobody taught him – he learned everything himself."
CNN's Nick Paton Walsh briefly engages with the father of the Tsarnaev brothers as he was driving away from his home in Dageston.

'Crisis in Syria: Inside Aleppo': CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh takes us on a journey to see what people living in the most populated Syrian city, Aleppo, are facing day to day. As the death toll from the civil war continues to climb, danger and many times death seem inevitable. In this rebel held territory, the sounds of gunfire and bombs haunt the streets. It’s hard to sleep at night when you don’t know when the next attack is coming or whom the next victim may be. And for those suffering with injuries, the hospitals seem ill-equipped to handle their wounds. This is their new reality. This is life inside Aleppo.
