In 2011, the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older of the two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings who was killed in a shootout with police Thursday night, Reuters reports:

The source said the FBI’s dealings two years ago with Tamerlan Tsarnaev occurred following a request from an unidentified foreign government.

The FBI did not produce any “derogatory” information on Tsarnaev and agents then put the matter “to bed,” said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
