FBI kills Florida man with suspected ties to Boston bomb suspect: NBC

Wednesday, 22 May 2013

MIAMI (Reuters) - An FBI agent shot and killed a Florida man with suspected links to the Boston Marathon bombings early on Wednesday, NBC News reported.

NBC said the suspect was being questioned and was originally cooperative, but was fatally shot after attacking the agent.

The Orlando Sentinel said a friend had identified the dead man as 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev of Orlando. The newspaper quoted the friend, Khusn Taramiv, as saying Todashev was being investigated as part of the Boston bombings and knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were mixed martial-arts fighters.

FBI spokesman Dave Couvertier could not confirm the dead man's identity nor the potential link to the Boston bombings.
