Dzokhar Tsarnaev, charged with the terror attack on the Boston Marathon last year, wrote in a note as he hid from police in a boat that he was jealous of his dead brother for going to the "garden of paradise."
Prosecutors revealed excerpts of the note and other details of the attack in documents filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in Boston.
Tsarnaev, writing in pencil, asked Allah to make him a martyr.
"God has a plan for each person," he wrote. "Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions."
The disclosures come in court papers as Tsarnaev's attorneys fight to keep the note and statements gathered at Tsarnaev's hospital bedside from being used at trial.
"The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians," he wrote. "I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all."
He warned that the U.S. is "fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven, no how can you compete with that. We are promised victory and we will surely get it."
