Man Shot by FBI Had Ties to Boston Bombing Suspect
Ibragim Todashev, a 27-year-old with Chechen roots and a mixed martial arts background that mirrors that of the Boston bombing suspects, was fatally shot by authorities early Wednesday at his Orlando home during a meeting with an FBI agent and two Massachusetts state troopers, authorities said. The FBI gave no details on why it was interested in Todashev except to say that he was being questioned as part of the Boston investigation. However, two officials briefed on the investigation said he had implicated himself as having been involved in the 2011 triple-slaying in a Boston suburb that authorities believe may have been connected to Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the investigation.
