[Boston Globe] Lawyers for accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asserted Friday that his older brother and alleged accomplice had been encouraged by the FBI to be an informant and to report on the Chechen and Muslim community, according to court records. 

You can only get away for six months? Hey, no problem. 

�"We seek this information based on our belief that these contacts were among the precipitating events for Tamerlan's actions during the week of April 15, 2013, and thus material to the defense case in mitigation,�" the lawyers said in their court filing. 

 

�"We base this on information from our client's family and other sources that the FBI made more than one visit to talk with Anzor [his father], Zubeidat [his mother] and Tamerlan, questioned Tamerlan about his Internet searches, and asked him to be an informant, reporting on the Chechen and Muslim community. 

Hey, we gotcha here on these anarchist boom making sites, sure you don't want to help us out ? 

�"We do not suggest that these contacts are to be blamed and have no evidence to suggest that they were improper, but rather view them as an important part of the story of Tamerlan's decline. Since Tamerlan is dead, the government is the source of corroboration that these visits did in fact occur and of what was said during them.�"

#3 Thanks, Squinty - I think.

Don't really understand what you wrote after "It is not your computer," but thanks. ;-p

#5 That's seriously impressive, Squinty. I suspect it would be unwise for you to explain how you did that.

#6 FWIW, my current browser's default encoding setting displays those characters as uppercase A circumflex. Switching encoding to 'Unicode' displays the diamonds Barbara's seeing. Switching encoding to 'Hebrew' (random choice) makes everything copastetic. Heh.
