A new Russian passport of Tamerlan Tsarnaev was found in Dagestan. According to the Office of the Federal Migration Service in Dagestan, in July last year, a suspect in the bombing filed for issuance of a new Russian passport - instead of the lost one. However, he never claimed the prepared document.
According to his mother, Tamerlan wanted to move out of the U.S. in Dagestan. She said that in the last months Tamerlan told her several times that although he likes America and likes to live there, he wants to return to Dagestan and even persuaded his American wife to go with him and take their daughter, says Los Angeles Times.
“He would call me every day from America in the last days,” Zubeidat Tsarnaev said Sunday in a telephone interview with The Times from her home in the Russian republic of Dagestan. “During our last conversation on the morning [before the shootout], he was especially touching and tender and alarmed at the same time", quotes Los Angeles Times
Her son, she said, told her that he “got a private phone call” from the FBI. Agents told him that he was “under suspicion and should come see them.”
“ ‘If you need me, you will find me,’ he said, and hung up,” she recounted, beginning to sob. “You know the FBI followed him for several years, and when he got back from Dagestan last year, they called him and asked him what was the purpose of his visit to his homeland.”
The FBI has acknowledged that it interviewed Tamerlan in early 2011 after a foreign government, which law enforcement officials say was Russia, raised concerns about whether he had ties to extremist organizations.
