Cape Town: After US police shot dead a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, who once lived in Russia, Moscow has issued a statement, saying it condemns all ‘terrorists’ regardless of their nationality.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said that ‘Putin has repeatedly said there is no such thing as our terrorists and somebody else`s... one must not differentiate between them, deal with some and condemn others,’ News24 reports.
They all deserve the same approach, the same rejection,’ Peskov added.
