#5 The motivation was more complicated.
When the FBI was informed by the Russian government about his brother, they contacted him and tried to recruit him to infiltrate terrorist organizations. They did not tell him that their information about him came from Russia, and he instead suspected his wrestling friends here had spied on him. He then murdered all three of them. He then went on to the attack on the marathon, his rage and guilt in his mind atonable by a blow against the hateful Americans, for the glory of ISlam..

"If you know the identities or the whereabouts of these two persons of interest, please contact the Special Agent in Charge' of the Boston Field Office at the number on the bottom of your television screen."
