Russia sought FBI’s help in 2011 to probe Boston suspect

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Russia asked the FBI in early 2011 to investigate Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev out of concern he had embraced radical Islam and was going to travel to Russia to join underground groups, U.S. law enforcement sources said on Saturday.

Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, made a request for checks on Tsarnaev – who was killed after a shootout with police on Thursday – to help an investigation of its own, a U.S. government source said.
