As news broke that two Chechens, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, are linked to Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings, so did the misinformation that comes with social networking. Now, the ambassador of the Czech Republic wants to set the record straight. “As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect,” Petr Gandalovič, the envoy, said in a press release. “The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities — the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation.”
