        Florida FBI Shooting May Be Linked to Boston Area Triple Slaying

   U.S. news reports say a Chechen man killed in an altercation with an
   FBI agent implicated himself in a triple slaying that may have been
   connected to dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
   The FBI says Ibragim Todashev was fatally shot Wednesday in Orlando,
   Florida when he attacked an FBI agent with a knife during questioning
   in the Boston Marathon bombings probe.
   Todashev formerly lived in the Boston area and trained in martial arts
   at a gym with Tsarnaev.
   Officials, who asked not to be identified, said Todashev implicated
   himself and Tsarnaev in the 2011 killing of three men, including one
   who trained at the same gym.
   Police records indicate Todashev had been arrested in the past in a
   Boston road-rage incident and, more recently, he was awaiting trial in
   an Orlando fight over a parking space.
   Todashev and Tsarnaev were both ethnic-Chechen immigrants with U.S.
   resident status.
   Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police a few days after
   the bombings. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, is in federal custody on
   charges he helped in the twin blasts that killed three people and
   injured 264 others April 15 during the Boston Marathon.
