Travel Location
Dagestan
Nabisat Suleimanova testified that the Tsarnaev family lived in Dagestan during its moves before coming to the United States. An FBI interview account read by Sonya Petri described Tamerlan spending four to five months there, while accounts attributed to Kartashov and Dolakov reported his stated desire to join jihadist fighters. Kartashov attributed Tamerlan's expectations about Dagestan to Internet material and described challenging his understanding of jihad.
About
The defense used accounts of Tamerlan's travel and reported interest in joining jihadist fighters in its sentencing presentation about his radical beliefs and influence on Dzhokhar.
