Police have identified Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, as the "black hat" bombing suspect, killed during the manhunt that followed. Readers have pointed out that Johannes Hirn made Tsarnaev the subject of a photo essay, "Will Box for Passport," taken before the boxer competed at National Golden Gloves competition in Salt Lake City. The captions give us a micro-profile of the suspect.
Tamerlan, who studies at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston and wants to become an engineer, took the semester off from school to train for the competition.
Tamerlan fled Chechnya with his family because of the conflict in the early 90s, and lived for years in Kazakhstan before getting to the United States as a refugee.
Originally from Chechnya, but living in the United States since five years, Tamerlan says: "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."
If he wins enough fights... Tamerlan says he could be selected for the US Olympic team and be naturalized American. Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia.
Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves."

His DU name was probably something cryptic like Muhammed, or Akbar.
An 8 year old boy was blown to bits, 2 other people are dead and countless people have been maimed by these two vermin and that is what the DUmmies are talking about. They make me ill!
Hi,
Isn’t this a photo of a missing person in Rhode Island, Sunil Tripathi?

Very interesting. Sounds like Timur would have been a hero to the bomber. I wonder if his daddy had that in mind when he gave him that name.
That is NOT him. That is a not one of the Chechens. That is the missing Brown U student, who is still missing, and apparently not a muslim terrorist.
College Kids Gone Wild again! This may have been the kickoff to their “American Spring”.
Keep doing that sh*at and you never will have any.
You are correct that he is not the actual bomber identified by the FBI, but it remains possible that he is connected.
That (and more) here, including a tidbit that even though the brothers weren’t US Citizens, they were registered to vote:
