Involved in Triple Murder, Drug Ripoff?
Allah. Terrorism. Drugs… Florida.
Is this starting to sound familiar to anyone?
Via: CNN:
Deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev participated in a 2011 gruesome triple homicide outside Boston along with a Chechen killed early Wednesday during a confrontation with the FBI and Massachusetts State Police in Orlando, Florida, a federal law enforcement official told CNN.
Ibragim Todashev, who died during the interview with authorities, not only confessed to his direct role in slashing the throats of three people in Waltham, Massachusetts, but also fingered Tsarnaev in the deaths, the official said Wednesday.
Todashev was being questioned about the slayings and his acquaintance with Tsarnaev.
Todashev attacked an FBI agent, who shot him dead, a federal law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case told CNN.

Via: Orlando Sentinel:
A Central Florida man who was shot and killed by an FBI agent early Wednesday morning was being investigated by the FBI and Massachusetts authorities in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.
The FBI told the Orlando Sentinel that during the early morning hours Wednesday, an FBI agent — along with two Massachusetts State Police troopers and other law enforcement personnel — were interviewing 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing investigation when a violent confrontation was initiated by Todashev.
“During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries,” , FBI Special Agent Dave Couvertier, a spokesman for the Orlando region, said in an email statement. “As this incident is under review, we have no further details at this time.”
Betcha the FBI won’t release the video of the execution…er, I mean, “interrogation.”

The Killing of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s Would-Be Accomplice Wasn’t So Simple
…”I think something went wrong there. I think they just shot him. He didn’t do anything. I know him. He just wanted everything to be over,” one of Todashev’s roommates told NBC West Palm Beach, and his estranged wife added, “He wasn’t involved. So he was not even nervous [to talk with the FBI].” Todashev’s wife could be talking about the Boston bombings, but she was right about Todashev being cooperative. Todashev, according to CBS, had been talking with the FBI since two days after the Tsarnaev brothers were identified. He even postponed that trip to Chechnya to work with investigators his roommates said, making his “snap” seem even more random…
