The Dark Side, Carefully Masked
By MICHAEL WINES and IAN LOVETT

There were glimpses. But Mr. Tsarnaev was a master of concealment. “I have had almost two weeks to think about it, and it still makes no more sense than the day I found out it was him,” Jason Rowe, Mr. Tsarnaev’s freshman roommate, said in an interview. “Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.”

But there were oblique signs that the gulf between the private and the public person was widening. Between raunchy jokes and posts about girls and cars on Twitter, Mr. Tsarnaev described terrifying nightmares about murder and destruction. In the last year, he alluded to disaffection with his American life and the American mind-set.
And as the date of the marathon drew close, he dropped cryptic hints of a plan of action, and the righteousness of an unspoken cause.

Article on little Jane Richards, Martin's sister, about her love of Irish dance and her friends dancing in her honor.

The group of 6- and 7-year-old girls are from the Clifden Academy in Milton, and they were there to honor their classmate, Jane Richard, who was injured last week in the bombings at the Boston Marathon finish line. Young Irish step dance groups from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island came together Saturday night for a benefit show for the Richard family.

Eileen Dinn, the owner of Clifden Academy, said Jane has attended her dance school since she was 4 years old.

“She loves dance,” Dinn said. “You always see her running around with her Clifden jacket, her little uniform on.”

And info on Russia's policy on receiving terrorists body:
http://news.yahoo.com/tsarnaev-famil...opstories.html

Russian authorities could declare Tamerlan Tsarnaev a terrorist and deny his family their right to claim the body, according to the Russian legal experts, including one who is advising the family. The family would be presented only with a certificate stating that he had been buried by the government.
The policy, originally outlined in a 1996 law, is a product of Russia's long and violent struggle against terrorism. The law states that if an individual dies while committing a terrorist incident, or if a suspect is killed during an operation that prevents one, "their bodies are not given, and the place of their burial is not disclosed."

(CNN) -- Boston Marathon bombing victims were collateral damage in a strike meant as payback for U.S. wars in Muslim lands, the surviving suspect wrote in a message scribbled on the boat where he was found hiding, a law enforcement source told CNN Thursday.
In the message, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev also proclaimed that an attack on one Muslim is an attack on all, and said he would not miss older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- who died after a firefight with police three days after the bombing -- because he would soon be joining him, according to the source.

"It's clear the suspects have connections to Watertown," said Joseph Curatone, the mayor in the neighboring city of Somerville told ABC News. "And it's abundantly clear that investigators are exploring every aspect of those connections as they should."

Some answers may be found in an obscure town parking ticket and a police report from the adjoining suburb of Arlington about a minor case involving open containers of alcohol, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The parking ticket, obtained by ABC News, was written on a car registered to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at 2:10 a.m. on February 18, 2011 on the 200 block of Boylston Street.

When the ticket was found in police records during the hunt for the wounded bomber, it sparked an immediate FBI raid on the Boylston street address, which is the home of a friend, Maximilian Freddura, part of a prominent Boston restaurateur family.

Freddura's apartment, where police officials say Dzhokhar was a frequent guest, is a block away from the corner of Laurel and Dexter Streets where police caught up with the Tsarnaev brothers five days after the marathon bombing.

ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -
An FBI agent in Orlando shot dead a man whom the agency says turned violent as he was being questioned in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing investigation late Tuesday.

The suspect was identified by the FBI as Ibragim Todashev, 27, of Orlando.

FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said the agent involved in the shooting on Peregrine Avenue near Kirkman and Vineland roads, near Universal Orlando, acted on an imminent threat and shot Todashev during an interview.

Claim forms are available from May 15 and are due back on June 15. Feinberg will then spend the rest of the month with his staff deciding on allocation before handing out the money by June 30. Any individual claimant may request an in-person or telephone meeting with Feinberg.

While people who suffered the most serious injuries are expected to receive more money, there are no guarantees that they'll receive enough to cover future medical costs. Mental trauma will not be covered either.

“The investigators were working on the theory that he and Tamerlan” had played a role in the murders, the official said, referring to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the marathon bombing suspect who died after a confrontation with police in the aftermath of the attack. One of the Waltham victims was a friend of Mr. Tsarnaev.

Since the attacks, the F.B.I. and state and local law enforcement officials in Boston have sought to interview friends and others who knew the Tsarnaev brothers.

Investigators want to know how the brothers were radicalized, and they want to determine if there were accomplices.

The F.B.I. has also focused on Chechens who may have ties to extremists in Russia. Before the attacks, the bureau had not thought that they were a significant threat in the United States.

Report on 2 of the bombing survivors:
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/201...-graduation-walk-a-milestone-in-recovery?lite
But on Monday, after ditching the single crutch she had been using during her recovery, she walked with a stiff limp to collect her diploma from Boston College’s Carroll School of Management -- passing a “milestone,” she said, as she recovers from the horrible events of April 15. She was joined by a close friend, Liza Cherney, who was also hurt and was graduating from the program.

Loring, who earned an MBA degree on Monday, was cheering on friends in the city’s iconic road race as part of her 29th birthday celebration when the bombs exploded. She suffered a skull fracture and concussion, was struck by BB pellets -- including one in the neck and two in the head, and had wounds on both of her upper thighs, likely from shrapnel.
After three surgeries to clean and close the wounds, and weeks of occupational and physical therapy, Loring managed to walk for the first time without crutches last week, lasting as long as 15 minutes. She also has begun to venture into crowds again, a daunting prospect for some of the injured, and resumed some of her routines, such as visiting a local café.
