Boston Marathon Bombing Update: 2 Jihadi Fighters in Dagestan, William Plotnikov and Mahmud Mansur Nidal, May Be Linked with Tamerlan Tsarnaev (Video)
Rebel fighter William Plotnikov is seen in this undated handout photo released by Dagestani branch of the Russian Federal Security Service to Reuters. A mess of rubble, ash and charred vehicles is all that's left at the desolate farmhouse where a Canadian Muslim convert died fighting his last battle alongside Islamist insurgents in the Russian region of Dagestan. At the time, few people beyond local villagers noticed William Plotnikov's death in a region where skirmishes occur daily. But almost a year on, Plotnikov has emerged into the limelight following the Boston Marathon bombings.
