Ibragim Todashev, who was killed by the FBI during a questioning, was shot six times, once in the crown of his head, photos shown at a press conference in Moscow reveal. His father suspects it could have been a kill shot.

“I can show you the photos taken after the killing of my son. I have 16 photographs. I just would like to say that looking at these photos is like being in a movie. I only saw things like that in movies: shooting a person, and then the kill shot. Six shots in the body, one of them in the head,” Abdulbaki Todashev said at the press conference at RIA Novosti news agency in the Russian capital.

He explained that the photos were taken by friends of his son in the US, to whom the FBI handed the body.

“I want justice and I want an investigation to be carried out, I want these people [the FBI agents] to be put on trial in accordance with US law. They are not FBI officers, they are bandits. I cannot call them otherwise, they must be put on trial,” he said.

Ibragim had been questioned twice by the FBI in connection with the Boston bombings, but not about the murder in which he was allegedly suspected, his father said.

The 2011 triple murder in Massachusetts, in which the Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was also implicated, was reportedly the subject of the third and final FBI interrogation of Ibragim Todashev.

His friend Khusen Taramov told the father that Ibragim had refused to come in for questioning on May 22, and instead asked the FBI agents to come and question him at home.

“Should something happen to me, call my parents,” Taramov quoted the last thing he heard from his friend.

On the day of Ibragim’s death, Taramov was questioned by the FBI separately on the street, and was refused entry back into his friend’s house, Todashev’s father claimed. He was “sent off” to wait in a nearby café on the grounds that Todashev was still being questioned and that “the interrogation would take a long time.” After some eight hours passed since the start of interrogation and his Todashev’s phone still was not answering, Taramov returned, only to find the street cordoned off with police cars and an ambulance.

“They tortured a man for eight hours with no attorney, no witnesses, nobody. We can only guess what was going on there, until there is an official investigation,” Abdulbaki Todashev said.

Referring to the Boston bombings, Todashev said his son believed it was a “set-up.” But Ibragim never sympathized with radical or terrorist ideas, and was not a follower of a radical Islam, he added.

Also, Ibragim was never a close friend of Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev – he and Tamerlan only “went boxing at the same gym” and “exchanged phone numbers,” the father said.

So far, Todashev has received “no official explanation” of his son’s death from the US side. He said he was only told there is an ongoing investigation “inside the FBI.”

Todashev called the earlier claims that Ibragim was shot attempting to attack an FBI agent “absurd,” saying four or five police and FBI officers could have easily handled such an attack without needing to kill his son.

“Maybe my son knew something, some information the police did not want to be made public. Maybe they wanted to silence my son,” Todashev’s father said.

Abdulbaki Todashev said his main aim now is to go to the US and get his son’s body.

“My brother and I, we went to the American embassy today. We both want to fly there, we’ve applied for a visa,” he explained.

Todashev’s killing “shows signs of international human rights violations,” and “indications of an extrajudicial killing,” war correspondent, political analyst, and member of the Presidential Council of Human Rights Maksim Shevchenko, said at the RIA conference. It looks like a “cold-blooded murder,” he claimed.

Ibragim Todashev was killed just two days before he was due to fly back home to Russia, Shevchenko said as he pointed to a “striking chain of coincidences” in the US.

Two “key witnesses” of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s arrest have also died recently, Shevchenko said, referring to the “accidental” death of members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit, who fell a “significant distance” from a helicopter last Thursday.

Lawyer Zaurbek Sadakhanov of the Moscow Interterritorial Bar Association said he fully believes this is a case of an extrajudicial execution.

Sadakhanov questioned why international human rights organizations, as well as Russian rights activists, have ignored the shooting.

He also urged Todashev’s friend Khusen Harlamov to return to Russia as “being a witness in the US is not safe.”

This is not the first time experts have questioned whether the FBI acted lawfully when shooting at Ibragim Todashev after he allegedly attacked an officer, with what some called “a use of excessive force.”

But a recent report revealed Todashev was completely unarmed when the FBI agent opened fire, raising questions over why lethal force was deemed necessary to subdue the strongly outnumbered man.

Investigative journalist and former Los Angeles police officer, Mike Ruppert offered his professional opinion to RT, finding two major issues with the official story (given that he himself had been in a similar predicament as an officer years before the incident). Firstly, the standard operating procedures were out the window; and secondly, the FBI itself appears to have set the situation up.

“There’s an escalation-of-force scale which was obviously not followed in this case”, he said, referring to the officers’ decision to draw firearms. “But my second huge problem with the law enforcement story is he (Todashev) was supposed to be signing a confession to a triple murder…I don’t care even if you are the FBI – which doesn’t have a good reputation – you have somebody who’s about to sign a confession, you have him in a jail house, in a secure setting, and the police officers around him are not armed because he’s in a secure setting. For the FBI, this was, at best, horribly mishandled. But it sounds to me very much like they went there with the intent to provoke him and stage a shooting,” Ruppert went on, recounting a similar shooting from decades ago.

And the implication of this, in Ruppert’s words, is that America is landing itself in a Stalinist, or Nazi, system of silencing people.

“If we go back to [those] days, these are executions… dead men tell no tales… and I will speak as an American citizen. My country is behaving like a totalitarian state run amok."

Make of it as you will. However, if it is a valid and true photo of kill shot to the top of the head this is exactly what it looked like from the beginning - snuffing an inconvenient witness with "dangerous" information. That is, dangerous to the real criminals in the "Boston Massacre".

I had actully read about this hours ago. If the photos and story are of merit and truth then it is an execution.... (it may damn well be that regardless) .. still it is official story stuff... so I am taking it at face value for whatever its worth. Not sure what that is though.

This is not to say nobody was endangered... Just to say if controled chaos was utilized to wage battle by deception / Or present a scenero that enabled the boston lock down......

Suspect all media / resist bad propaganda/Learn NLP everyday everyway ;) (It's a more positive message)

..LIFE IS LIKE A COIN, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SPEND IT ANYWAY YOU WISH, BUT YOU CAN ONLY SPEND IT ONCE...

Not a digression - the game is "wheels within wheels". What most people do not see is the sheer scale of the operations ongoing to enslave humanity, and they are all interlinked.

I could spend hours just laying out dots without even taking the time to interconnect them.

However, one can trace the lines back to the source point and it always comes out the same - the Banksters and their trained seal psychotic Psychs.

“Like a caterpillar now becoming a butterfly thrashing around in its old caterpillar cocoon to get out and fly, so are we awakening by our heads being held under the water, not by the loving hands of St John but by the strangling hands of the oligarchs who have been drowning us for years and years, and at last humanity has suffered enough and is determined to break free.” - Jason Liosatos

Exactly. That is why the elder Tsarnev (sp?) brother was whacked, why they tried to whack his younger brother (it was a miracle that he survived in that boat), and this guy was evidently a "loose end" who knew too much and was not under control.

Just realism. If one is willing to look most of the answers are out in the open.

The dumbing down of the education system (intentional sabotage cutting people off from one of the most valuable tools - literacy and knowledge).

Increasing forced subservience to da' Massuh - i.e., DHS, TSA, FBI, Militarized Paramility Police Farces, etc., and of course they answer to a "higher power" - da Banksters who are pulling the "puppet strings".

However, we cannot leave Psychiatry out of the equation as they are the ones who developed, and orchestrate, all of the above programs. A lot of which, if not all, originate at the Tavistock Institute in London.

I wasn't aware that the FBI handed post-mortem photo's to family members, I'm curious as to how the photo's were released and ended up in Russia.

Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehood’s school. And the one man who dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.

Something really smells. These guys must have had a relationship with the Feds. Speculations could run wild ... but there's little doubt that they murdered this man while in their custody and lied about him having been armed.

Truth is, we are responsible. We continue to utilize their fraudulent monetary system and their fake ass election system. We beg the government that they own for permission to do any-fucking-thing. We continue to send our children off to kill or be killed in some lousy sand dune for the oil barons who are also owned by the banksters. In the end it's the economic pressure that "the banksters" control that manipulates all things. Their ability to create the economic conditions relative to all things is beyond criminal and causes international slavery never mind unnecessary wars.

It's our inability to shed these psycho-bucks from our daily use that makes it possible for them to finance any-fucking-thing they choose.

If we ever do anything to curtail our own demise it will require an end to the FED RESERVE SYSTEM.

If you go to the linked article it explains that the photos were taken by other people before his body was carted off.

I think we can infer that logically from the currently available data. What this guy knew is a question mark. It may have been as simple as having been a close enough friend to the Tsarnev brothers to have known they were working for da' Feds or he may have been one of their tools as well. Data insufficient at this point to resolve the question.

Well, it is what people know and more importantly what they are used to. People, as even Jefferson pointed out in the Declaration of Independence, are loathe to discard what they are used to - particularly when it is unclear how they are going to replace something which still has some utility.

The problem isn't really the monetary system it is the criminals in charge and how the system is twisted and manipulated to serve their ends to the detriment of everyone else.

Simply put, we NEVER - EVER- needed to borrow money at interest from anyone, but worse is the destruction of the Constitution through use of commercial paper rather than constitutional (real) money.

Put in that light I agree - 110% or better. The current system which gives the ability to manipulate the money supply to a self-interested private bank is nothing more than legalized theft and enslavement to private ~~interests~~ psychotics.

The American Police, the FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service, the courts, judges, the today's medical cartel now act together as America's BIGGEST Street Gang.

They are the true organized criminal racketeers and murderers, and none of them have to account for their criminal actions.

Worse by far than the economic damage is the loss of the Constitutional framework and associated protections afforded the people under it. The Constitution CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT EXIST in a commercial system ruled by ancient but modernized MERCHANT LAW.

The Constitution can only exist in an environment (jurisdiction) that only accepts reality and thusly doesn't allow the creation of fictions or fictitious entities that pretend to be real.

Modern society has such a fixation with money that most of the time we do not perceive the loss of freedom because of the legal ramifications of living in a commercial state. When people say that "it's not so much the system but its abuse" that makes things difficult - I want to "scream" ... because the only other means of restoring the wholesome and good way of life in America would be a moral revival - which doesn't appear likely to me.

#2 problem = False monetary system that gives a monopoly of power to criminals and allows them to MAKE THE LAWS - BREAK THE LAWS - KILL CHILDREN AT WILL - and attack the entire world.
