Here are the messages accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote while in hiding

New evidence introduced Tuesday in the trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev reveals the notes he wrote on the side of the boat in which he was hiding from police. The messages — photos of which were submitted to the court — reveal Tsarnaev's apparent religious motivations for the attack. In pencil on the side of the boat, he wrote:

Tsarnaev also wrote that he was jealous of his brother's fate. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in the post-marathon manhunt, and Dzhokhar wrote that he would surely be going to paradise "if Allah wills it."

The notes are riddled with bullet holes and bloodstains, evidence of the shootout the resulted in Tsarnaev's capture, so some of the words are impossible to read. See more at BuzzFeed.
