TORONTO (AP) — An aunt of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects said Friday the older brother recently became a devout Muslim who prayed five times a day, and she doesn’t believe the brothers could have been involved in Monday’s attack.

  5. I hope they get him, and I want him alive. Not that I care about him but a live prisoner can be forced to talk.

  6. FBI interviewed dead Boston bombing suspect years ago

    The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him.

    CBS News correspondent John Miller reports it is likely Russia asked to have the elder Tsarnaev vetted because of suspected ties to Chechen extremists.

    The FBI is likely to have run a background check, running his name through all the relevant databases, including those of other agencies, checking on his communications and all of his overseas travel. Miller reports that culminated in a sit-down interview where they probably asked him a lot of questions about his life, his contacts, his surroundings. All of this was then written in a report and sent it to the requesting government.

    However, the FBI has maintained in those incidents that they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law.

    Although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers’ mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.

  7. 3 arrested in New Bedford in connection to bombing suspect

    Neighbors say three have been arrested in New Bedford in connection with the Boston Bombing suspect.

    Police apprehended suspects from the Hidden Brook Apartments on Carriage Drive in New Bedford. Neighbors say they think that the girlfriend of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev may have lived in the complex and they have seen him in the area as recently as yesterday.

    Dzhokhar is a student at the nearby University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Earlier on Friday his brother, also a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, was killed in a gun fight with police.

  8. video – Geraldo Rivera, Tamerlan Tsarnaev went back to Chechnya last year. In 2010 the FBI interviewed Tamerlin at the request of a foreign government. THEN IN 2012 he went back to Russia and Chechnya to reportedly train with Islamists.

  10. “had a hard time fitting into American society” — so did I, and I was born here! Lots of people have such personal problems, but they don’t end up committing massacres! Since it’s impossible to distinguish which Muslims will be peaceful and which will commit bloody large scale violence, in the name of national security we must stop Muslim immigration. If not, our govt. is gambling with our lives.

  11. Extremist Muslims are the new Nazis. Even a non-radical Imam walked out before the Hatikvah at the interfaith holocaust service in Edison N.J. Rabbi dr. Bernhard Rosenberg
