WHAT WE KNOW

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, the Boston bombing suspect killed in a police shootout, was a boxing enthusiast who may have followed the teachings of radical Islamist preacher Feiz Mohammad. Dzokhar Tsarnaev, his brother who is still at large, is an all-star wrestler and a "sweet sort of guy," according to classmates. The Daily Beast's Caitlin Dickson on what we know about the two men.

IN NEWSWEEK

Did al Qaeda ideology inspire the attack—or were the two brothers driven by other motivations? Christopher Dickey, Eli Lake, and Daniel Klaidman report on how the Boston bombings illustrate the changing face of terror since 9/11.

DON'T LOOK AT US

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, who is very active on social media, took to Instagram on Friday to issue a statement on the Boston Marathon bombings and to place the blame for the suspects' actions on the United States. "Any attempt to link Chechnya and the Tsarnaevs, if indeed they are guilty, are futile," he wrote. "They grew up in the USA, their viewpoints and beliefs were formed there. You must look for the roots of [their] evil in American." American terrorism consultant Evan Kohlmann tweeted Friday morning, "The official media arm of the Chechen mujahideen has rejected allegations that two Chechen men were responsible for the Boston Bombing."

'COME HOME TO RUSSIA'

The father of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has called on his son to surrender, but warned the U.S. that "all hell will break loose" if he is killed. Anzor Tsarnaev spoke to ABC News from his home in Russia, while his younger son dodged bullets during a gunfight with Boston police late Thursday night. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder of the two brothers suspected in the marathon attack, was killed in a shootout. Their father said he spoke to both on the phone earlier this week and insisted that they were innocent, but asked his younger son to stop running. "Give up," he said via ABC News. "You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia."

STAY AT HOME!

Watertown and other parts of Boston are shut down Friday, following an early-morning police shootout that left one marathon bombing suspect dead and the other at large. A no-fly zone has been issued over Watertown, where the shootout took place, and residents have been instructed by police to remain indoors as the search for the second suspect continues. Boston's mass transit has also been suspended, and traffic in and out of Watertown halted.
