According to the federal indictment, during the shootout Tamerlan was captured, but died partly as a result of his brother driving over him, and an MBTA police officer was critically injured in the course of Dzhokhar's escape in the SUV[6] (the latter by what may have been friendly fire).[7] Dzhokhar was injured but escaped, and an unprecedented manhunt ensued, with thousands of police searching a 20-block area of Watertown. On the evening of April 19, the heavily wounded Dzhokhar was found unarmed hiding in a boat on a trailer in Watertown just outside the police perimeter, arrested, and taken to a hospital. It was later reported that he was persuaded to surrender when the FBI negotiators mentioned a public plea from his former

  • Two Tickets to Paradise
    TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE The Boston Jihadist Raid and Islamic Caucus Emirates’ US Cell JEWISH DEFENSE ORGANIZATION WHITE PAPER SENIOR RESEARCH SECTION DECEMBER 25, 2016 1 SECTION ONE WHAT HAPPENED 2 The FBI was informed by FSB1 via Legal Attaché US Embassy Moscow that US resident Tamerlan Tsarnaev was going to the Caucuses for terrorist training. He went there, returns, and then commits a sophisticated terrorist act. What could be simpler? He received terrorist training from a terrorist network. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS From Report on FBI Ability to fight terrorism in the 21st Century: (U) In November 2012, Tamerlan interrupted a sermon discussing Islamic and American holidays at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in Cambridge, but it does not appear that this information was ever reported to the FBI. In January 2013, Tamerlan again became angry following a sermon at the same mosque. This information does not appear to have made its way to the FBI. While the Review Commission recognizes the civil liberties sensitivities of source networks within religious institutions, a more extensive HUMINT network postured within the local community could have made the FBI aware of these outbursts. All of the cases revealed to the Review Commission that the FBI’s role within the USIC as the primary collector of domestic human intelligence is of critical importance in the identification of potential threats. The special agent assigned to investigate the Tsarnaevs did not consult 1. Russian Federal Security Service, founded in 1995. 3 any North Caucasus or counterterrorism subject-matter experts to understand the broader context and implications of the information provided by the FSB, although the Commission notes there was ample cause for skepticism.

  • Radical Islam and the Chechen War Spillover: a Political Ethnographic Reassessment of the Upsurge of Violence in the North Caucasus Since 2009
    Radical Islam and the Chechen War Spillover: A Political Ethnographic Reassessment of the Upsurge of Violence in the North Caucasus since 2009. Jean-François Ratelle Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in name of Political Science School of Political Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Jean-François Ratelle, Ottawa, Canada, 2013 Abstract: This dissertation seeks to analyse the upsurge of insurgent violence in the North Caucasus following the end of the counter-terrorist operation in Chechnya in 2009. By looking at the development of radical Islam and the impact of the Chechen spillover in the region, this research suggests that these factors should be analysed and contextualized in each republic. By comparing the cases of Kabardino-Balkaria, Ingushetia, and Dagestan, this dissertation seeks to demonstrate the importance of vendetta, criminal activity, religious repression and corruption as local factors that contribute to the increase of violence. By focusing on the case of Dagestan, the author proposes a political ethnographic approach to study the mechanisms and details of religious repression and corruption in everyday life. This analysis permits us to map out the different pathways towards the participation in insurgent groups in Dagestan. By doing so, it demonstrates that one can identify three different generations of insurgent fighters in Dagestan. This dissertation demonstrates that the role of Salafist ideology is often marginal in the early stages of the process of violent radicalisation, and slowly gains importance as the involvement in violence increases. The emphasis should be placed on vengeance and religious repression as crucial triggering factors as they provoke a cognitive opening for young people in Dagestan to engage in violence.
