FBI faces action for fatal shooting

A Florida Islamic group has filed a formal notice with the FBI that it plans to sue it for $30m (€26m) in the death of Ibragim Todashev, a friend of a Boston Marathon bomb suspect.

Todashev, 27, a Muslim Chechen immigrant, was shot dead in May 2013 in an Orlando apartment during questioning over his links with the bombing suspects.

The notice was filed by civil rights group the Council on American-Islamic Relations Florida (CAIR-Florida), on behalf of Todashev’s parents who accused the FBI of killing their son “in cold blood”.
