Czech Republic's ambassador to United States has made it very clear that his country is not Chechnya. He was alarmed that many U.S. social media users were leaving messages on Twitter and Facebook to say that Boston Marathon bombers were from Czech Republic. Many of posts called for America to get revenge on Czech Republic. ambassador, Petr Gandalovič, put statement on Czech embassy website to educate people about difference between his country and Chechnya. It read: " Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities - Czech Republic is Central European country; Chechnya is part of Russian Federation."

Czech president reminded Americans that his country is U.S. ally. He said: "The Czech Republic is active and reliable partner of U.S. in fight against terrorism. We…stand side by side with our allies." In another Internet mix-up, social media users played online "detectives" and revealed name of innocent man they believed was main suspect in bombings. One poster said: "I'd like to extend deepest apologies to family of [ wrongly accused] for any part we may have had in relaying… faulty information." Meanwhile, expert American interrogation team is waiting to question real suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is in serious but stable condition in hospital.
