UPDATE: BOSTON BOMBING; STORY OF TWO BROTHERS

In May of 2011, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, then a senior at a prestigious high school, was awarded a $2,500 scholarship from the town of Cambridge, Mass., to pursue higher education. Now, Tsarnaev is on the run, recounted as "armed and dangerous" and suspect of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Two male siblings, one now dead, one alive and at large. After hours of only grainy images of two men in baseball caps to go on, a portrait started emerging Friday of the men.


Tsarnaev, 19, and his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed during a violent evening in Cambridge, had been living simultaneously on Norfolk road in Cambridge. An uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery town, Md., notified The Associated Press that the men lived together close to Boston and have been in the United States for about ten years. They came from the Russian region beside Chechnya, which has been inundated by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist conflicts.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's sheet on the Russian communal networking site Vkontakte says he came to Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, graduating in 2011, the year he won the scholarship, which was celebrated at town Hall, according to a report release issued at the time. Before moving to the United States, he came to School No. 1 in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russia's North Caucasus that has become an epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from Chechnya. On the location, he recounts himself as speaking Chechen as well as English and Russian. His world view is recounted as "Islam" and he states his individual goal is "career and money."

Tsarnaev appeared in the video issued by administration on Thursday, recognised as Suspect Number 2, pacing down a sidewalk, unnoticed by spectators who were soaked up in the race. He followed Tamerlan by about 10 feet. He wore what appeared to be a gray hoodie under a dark coat and pants, and a white baseball hat backward and dragged down haphazardly.

Tamerlan was stockier, in khaki trousers, a lightweight T-shirt, and a dark coat. The brim of his baseball hat faced forward, and he may have been wearing sunglasses.

According to the website spotcrime.com, Tamerlan was apprehended for domestic aggression in July 2009, after assaulting his girlfriend.

He was an amateur boxer, recorded as a competitor in a National Golden Gloves affray in 2009.
