LOOKING FOR CLUES: FBI Steps Up Probe, Enters Home of Bomber's Widow Apr 29th 2013, 21:40 Published April 29, 2013 FoxNews.com This home in West Kingston, R.I., is where the parents of Katherine Russell, widow of Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, leive.Getty, Courtesy of NY Post/Flickr April 21, 2013: Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, wife of killed Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, exits a car at the home of her parents in North Kingstown, R.I.

(AP) Next Slide Previous Slide The Boston Marathon bombing investigation focused on Rhode Island Monday, as the FBI went inside the home of bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow's parents Monday, and the nearby family of a man identified as his mysterious mentor hired a family spokesman to keep the media at bay. "We are there as part of our ongoing investigation, but we aren't permitted to discuss specific aspects of our case," an FBI official said outside the suburban Providence home where Katherine Russell and her 3-year-old daughter are staying. Russell has not been named as a suspect in the April 15 bombing, which killed three and injured more than 200. A home health aide, she reportedly worked up to 80 hours per week and did not know her radical Muslim husband's plans to carry out a terror plot allegedly with his younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is in a federal medical facility for prisoners. The widow has kept a low profile since the attack, and is believed to have been living with her parents in West Kingston, R.I., since her husband was exposed as a terrorist and then killed in a police shootout. Meanwhile, an attorney for the family of a man who some of Tsarnaev's family members say is the mysterious "Misha" who radicalized Tamerlan Tsarnaev said his parents are under extreme stress and fearful of all the publicity the case has brought them. They confirmed their son, Mikhail Allakhrdov, is the Misha who was a spiritual tutor of Tsarnaev's some years ago. But in an interview with The New York Times, Allakhrdov, a Ukrainian Christian who converted to Islam, said he had not had contact with Tsarnaev for several years and that he never encouraged him to take up violence. Richard Nicholson told reporters he expects law enforcement will "be asking additional questions" of the parents, implying that authorities have already spoken with the family. "At some juncture they will be closing that part of the investigation," Nicholson said.
