Photo Suggests Suspected Bomber May Have Walked Past Young Victim Martin Richard, 8, Before Deadly Blast

An eerie image captured before the deadly Boston Marathon blast may show one of the suspected bombers walking past an 8-year-old boy who was killed in the explosion.

A boy who looks like Martin Richard appears in the image standing at the railing beside the road. A young woman to Richard's left claps her hands, perhaps cheering for the athletes.

Unbeknownst to them, a white-capped man who appears to look similar to the second suspect being hunted by authorities on Thursday lurked only a few feet behind them. The image also suggests that a backpack possibly containing the explosive was left on the ground at that moment.
The man in the white hat however, identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, left unscathed. He can be seen fleeing the scene in another photo.

Tsarnaev is still at large and believed to be "armed and dangerous." But his suspected accomplice and brother, Tamerlan Tzarnaev, 26, who wore the dark baseball cap, was shot dead.

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posted links to Islamic websites and others calling for Chechen independence on what appears to be his page on a Russian language social networking site.On the site, the younger Tsarnaev identifies himself as a 2011 graduate of Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, a public school in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

It says he went to primary school in Makhachkala, capital of Dagestan, a province in Russia that borders Chechnya, and lists his languages as English, Russian and Chechen.

His "World view" is listed as "Islam" and his "Personal priority" is "career and money".
He has posted links to videos of fighters in the Syrian civil war and to Islamic web pages with titles like "Salamworld, my religion is Islam" and "There is no God but Allah, let that ring out in our hearts".

He also has links to pages calling for independence for Chechnya, a region of Russia that lost its bid for secession after two wars in the 1990s.

Elsewhere on the Internet, a photo essay entitled "Will box for passport" shows the older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev practicing boxing at a gym. The captions identify him as a Chechen heavyweight boxer, in the United States for five years.

"I don't have a single American friend," one caption quotes him as saying. "I don't understand them."
