A Chechen man shot dead by the FBI during questioning on his links to the Boston bombers was not violent, his father said in an interview broadcast today, speaking from his home town of Grozny in Chechnya.

Ibragim Todashev, 27, was shot by the FBI in Florida yesterday after he stabbed an agent during questioning on his possible involvement with Tamerlan Tsarnaev in a triple homicide that took place before the Boston bombings, local media reported.

Todashev's father, Abdulbaki Todashev, told Kremlin-funded RT television that his son knew Tsarnaev when he lived in Boston.
