The F.B.I. has concluded that there was little its agents could have
done to prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, according to law
enforcement officials, rejecting criticism that it could have better
monitored one of the suspects before the attack.
That conclusion is based on several internal reviews that examined how
the bureau handled a request from a Russian intelligence agency in 2011
to investigate whether one of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had been
radicalized during his time in the United States.
Mr. Tsarnaev, who along with his brother, Dzhokhar, came to the United
States about a decade ago from the Russian republic of Dagestan, was
killed during a shootout with the police four days after he and his
brother detonated two bombs at the finish line of the marathon, killing 3
people and injuring more than 200, the authorities say.
