#1 One of the names he gave up was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, with whom he regularly exchanged messages on a web forum for young Muslims.

#2 Two days later, Tsarnaev abruptly fled left Makhachkala, flying back to the US via Moscow. He departed without collecting his new Russian passport, even though acquiring it was the main reason for his visit to Dagestan, according to his parents.

Thanks to the Spetsnaz, ole Nidal was TANGO-UNIFORM. Fok the RU passport, time for Tsarnaev to unass the AO and get back to the big PX.

How did Tamerlan get back into the USA without a passport?

#4 The Russians have been steadily attriting jihadi higher-ups in Chechnya and vicinity. Never shows up in the MSM, but you see it on the 'burg. Maybe we should be outsourcing some of our problems to the Rooskis.

#5 Interesting question Anguper. I believe standard procedure nearly everywhere is to turn in your old passport, prior to getting a new one. It would be quite interesting to discover [as a non-US person] he already had a US Passport.....or perhaps the 6 month trip to RU to "get a new passport" was BS? A new passport could be had through a visit and applicaation to a RU mission anywhere in the States.

#6 The American procedure is to turn in your old passport with the renewal application. And yes, it can be done at an American embassy while abroad. But it could easily be that other countries do not have the same procedures.

Update before posting:
I decided to google the question, and it turns out Besoeker is correct: Passports can be renewed at the Russian consulates in the U.S. However, it is very definitely not clear from the Russian embassy site that this is so.
