The FBI was interviewing an assocate of Tamerlan Tsanev in the Orlando area, yesterday. During the interview Ibragim Todashev, attacked the FBI agent who then shot and killed him.
ORLANDO, Fla. —An FBI agent shot and killed a man overnight in Orlando who had ties to one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, NBC News has confirmed.
According to NBC News, a special agent was interviewing the suspect regarding his connections to bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and other extremists. The suspect, who was not immediately identified by officials, was originally cooperative, but he was shot after attacking the agent.
A friend of the suspect, Khusn Taramiv, said his friend, 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, was being investigated as part of the Boston bombings and knew Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters.
Remeber the claims that the Tsarnaevs were part of a cell? It seems that those were not false allegations.
