The man who says he was the victim of a carjacking by the Tsarnaev brothers said on Monday that he was spared because he “wasn’t American.” The man, who asked that his identity not be revealed, told NBC News that he had been taken hostage Thursday night while the brothers were on the run when the FBI had posted photos and videos identifying them as the suspects in the Boston marathon bombing that killed three and injured more than 170. On the deadly run, they allegedly killed an MIT police officer before hijacking the man’s car and then releasing him—and then led police on a wild chase before Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot and killed by police and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, fled. Dzhokhar was later captured and is now recovering at a Boston hospital.
