BOSTON — Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, then a senior at a
prestigious school, was awarded a $2,500 scholarship in May 2011 from
the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, to pursue higher education. Now
the 19-year-old is on the run, described as "armed and dangerous" and
suspected of the Boston Marathon bombing.
Two brothers from the Russian region near Chechnya, one now dead, one alive and at large. After grainy surveillance images of two men in baseball caps were released Thursday by the FBI as an appeal for the public's help in identifying them, a portrait quickly emerged Friday of the young men suspected in the attack.
Authorities still have not mentioned any possible motive for THE attack, and those who know Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the Boston area expressed shock Friday at how a bright, likeable young man had taken a violent turn. Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed during a violent police chase overnight, had been living together in Cambridge, outside Boston.
An uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who lives in a Washington suburb, told AP that the men lived together and had been in the United States for about a decade. They came from a Russian region that has been plagued by insurgency related to separatist wars.
"My son is a true angel," Anzor Tsarnaev told AP by telephone from the Russian city of Makhachkala. "Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the US. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here."
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's page on the Russian social networking site Vkontakte says he attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, graduating in 2011, the year he won the scholarship.
On the site, he describes himself as speaking Chechen as well as English and Russian. His world view is described as "Islam" and he says his personal goal is "career and money."
On Friday, those who knew him were stunned. A host of a Boston-based public radio program, Robin Young, posted on Twitter a photo of her nephew with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, their arms around each other, at their graduation.
"Heartbreaking pic," she wrote. A caller to the program who identified himself as a social studies teacher at the school said Tsarnaev struck him as having "a heart of gold ... an all-around wonderful kid." — AP
