Boston Marathon Bomb victim ‘locked eyes with bomber’s brother’

A man who became one of the lasting images of the Boston Marathon bombing when he was wheeled away, ashen-faced, his legs severely injured, has told a court that he locked eyes with the bomber’s older brother before the explosives went off.

“He was alone. He wasn’t watching the race,” said Jeff Bauman, who walked slowly into the Boston court on two prosthetic legs. “I looked at him, and he just kind of looked down at me. I just thought it was odd.”

Mr Bauman later described Tamerlan Tsarnaev to the FBI from his hospital bed. Tsarnaev, 26, died in a gun battle with police days after the bombing.
