We'll probably never know whether this was fatal incompetence (there was a fracking sword in the room where they were questioning him?!) or a summary execution of Todashev.
Man Linked to Boston Bombing Suspect Was Unarmed When Shot by FBI (ABC News)
Ibragim Todashev, an Orlando, Fla., associate of one of the Boston bombing suspects, was not armed when he was involved an alleged violent confrontation with an FBI agent that resulted in Todashev being shot to death in his apartment, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Officials initially told ABC News and other news outlets that a knife was involved in the confrontation.
However, by the day after the shooting, officials noted there was confusion about whether a weapon was involved.
The investigation so far is showing there was an abrupt change in Todashev's demeanor and a physical confrontation ensued, sources said.
A samurai sword was in the room, which may have accounted for some of the initial confusion over whether a weapon was involved, sources added.
