 The Russian government warned U.S. authorities that Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a violent radical Islamist more than a year and a half before the April 2013 bombing, but authorities missed multiple chances to detain Tsarnaev when he was traveling to and from Dagestan for terror training, according to a soon-to-be released Congressional report. 
  
 In one instance, according to the report prepared by investigators for the House Homeland Security Committee and copies of documents reviewed by NBC News, Tsarnaev was supposed to be pulled aside for questioning at JFK airport because he was considered potentially armed and dangerous, but he slipped through undetected because someone had misspelled his last name in a security database. 
  
 “This sounds like a huge hole and an opportunity missed,” said Ed Davis, who was Boston’s chief of police at the time of the Marathon bombing. 
  
 NBC News has reviewed a copy of the report and copies of documents referenced in the report and constructed a timeline that shows how Russia warned the U.S. and what the U.S. did, and didn’t do, in response. 
  
 In March 2011, the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency that arose from the remnants of the KGB, sent a cable to the FBI with its concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the Tsarnaev family. By then, the Tsarnaevs, a Muslim family of mixed Chechen ancestry, had been living in Massachusetts for almost a decade. Tamerlan, born in 1986, had attended a local high school, married an American and become an amateur boxer.

 The letter was a page and a quarter long and very detailed. It included contact information, with addresses and phone numbers, for many of the members of the Tsarnaev family, including Tamerlan and his mother. It warned that Tamerlan was known to have associated with violent radical Islamists, including a Canadian Muslim convert named William Plotnikov who was later killed while fighting for the mujahideen in Dagestan. 
  
 The FBI responded to the FSB cable by opening an investigation of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in March 2011. The investigation was conducted by members of the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force, an interagency group that includes federal, state and local law enforcement representatives. 
  
 An FBI member of the JTTF interviewed Tsarnaev in person. The FBI did not conduct surveillance of Tsarnaev because the case did not rise to the standard that permits surveillance, according to federal officials. 
  
 A member of the task force then entered a memo about Tsarnaev into a Customs and Border Protection database called TECS. The database would automatically trigger an alert on a so-called “Hot List” any time Tsarnaev left or reentered the United States. 
  
 “Subject is of interest to the Boston JTTF,” said the TECS memo. “If subject is encountered, contact FBI Special Agent [Name and contact information redacted by Department of Homeland Security]. Conduct a full CTR Secondary” – interview and search the subject -- “if encountered entering or exiting the U.S.” 
  
 In June 2011, the FBI investigation of Tamerlan Tsarnaev was closed. According to the report, “the assessment found no links to terrorism.” 
  
 On Sept. 11, 2011, three individuals were found with their throats cut and marijuana sprinkled over their body in Waltham, Mass. One of the victims, Brendan Mess, was a neighbor and long-time sparring partner of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and had been introduced by Tsarnaev to the owner of a martial arts gym as his “best friend.” 
  
 Authorities linked the deaths to drug dealing, and noted that they had nearly been decapitated. Investigators say all three victims were Jewish.

 Nearly two years later, after the Boston Marathon bombings, authorities interviewed an associate of Tsarnaev’s named Ibragim Todashev about the Waltham murders. The FBI shot and killed Todashev during the interview when he allegedly attacked an agent. The FBI, which has been cleared of wrongdoing by state authorities and an internal review, says Todashev was about to sign a statement implicating both himself and Tsarnaev in the murders when he was killed. 
  
 In the immediate aftermath of the Waltham murders, however, authorities made no arrests. Tsarnaev was not questioned. 
  
 In late September, six months after it had sent its first cable to the FBI, the FSB sent a second cable to the CIA, according to a U.S. intelligence official. The Russians’ second cable restated the warnings of the first memo, and was very similar in language and content. 
  
 There is no indication that the FBI reopened their file or conducted further investigative efforts after the CIA received its version of the FSB cable. 
  
 On Oct. 19, 2011, the CIA shared information on Tsarnaev with the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), DHS, the State Department and the FBI. The information shared included two possible dates of birth, his name and a possible alternate spelling of his name. 
  
 The CIA nominated Tsarnaev for inclusion in the terror watchlisting system. The NCTC then added Tsarnaev’s name to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) database, a central U.S. government terror database that includes hundreds of thousands of names. TIDE is not itself a watchlist, but is used as a source for watchlists like TECS. 
  
 A second note about Tamerlan Tsarnaev was entered into the TECS system on October 20, 2011, according to sources familiar with the investigation conducted for the Congressional report. The second TECS entry, which NBC News has seen, spells Tsarnaev’s name as “Tsarnayev,” with an extra y, and warns that he might be armed and dangerous. 
  
 The note directs that if Tsarnaev is encountered leaving or reentering the U.S., his detention is “mandatory.” It says, “Escort to CBP [Customs] secondary and detain.” 
  
 “Detain isolated and immediately call the lookout duty officer at NTC (24X7),” says the note. “Call is mandatory whether or not the officer believes there is an exact match. Advise the person answering the phone that you have a code tip lookout intercept.”

 On January 21, 2012 Tsarnaev traveled to JFK airport in New York to board an Aeroflot flight to Moscow. 
  
 Though an alert was triggered, Tsarnaev was not pulled out for a secondary search or interview. According to sources familiar with the report, there were almost 100 other names on the “Hot List” of individuals traveling through Customs at JFK that day, and Tsarnaev was not considered high priority. 
  
 Tsarnaev flew to Moscow, and then to Dagestan, where he stayed for six months and received jihad training, according to U.S. authorities. 
  
 On July 17, 2012, Tsarnaev flew back to the United States, landing at JFK. TECS notes remain in effect for one year. The initial TECS note had expired. The second, more urgent TECS note filed in October 2011 that said he might be armed and dangerous had not. 
  
 But no alert was triggered when Tsarnaev passed through Customs at JFK, because of the misspelling of his name on the second TECS note. The difference of one letter – Tsarnayev instead of Tsarnaev – meant that he was not detained or questioned despite the warning in his file, according to sources familiar with the report.

 On April 15, 2013, bombs killed three people during the Boston Marathon. Tamerlan was killed during a shootout with police on April 19 in Watertown, Mass., and his brother Dzhokhar was discovered hiding in a boat nearby later the same day. Dzhokhar now faces federal terrorism charges in connection with the bombing that carry a possible death sentence. He has pleaded not guilty. 
  
 The House Homeland Security Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Michael McCaul (R.-Texas), is expected to make its report public as early as Thursday. 
  
 The report re-examines numerous facts that surfaced immediately after the bombing and in subsequent months. It compiles the material and puts it in perspective before making recommendations for changes to procedures. The report is not without controversy – several Democratic members of the committee did not sign on to the report. 
  
 A congressional staffer told NBC News that “the report is not blaming the FBI.” The staffer said the report is “looking at processes and filling holes.” 
  
 Robert Windrem contributed to this report. ||||| WASHINGTON — After being interrogated for four and a half hours, a 27-year-old Chechen man who had just admitted to committing a grisly triple homicide in 2011 with the help of one of the Boston Marathon bombers was starting to show signs of anxiety. 
  
 As the Chechen man, Ibragim Todashev, began to write his confession to the murders, an F.B.I. agent and a Massachusetts State Police detective in his apartment with him glanced away for a second, and Mr. Todashev picked up a table and threw it at the F.B.I. agent, lacerating the back of his head. Mr. Todashev then dashed into his kitchen and could be heard rummaging through the drawers. 
  
 Regaining his footing, the agent drew his gun as Mr. Todashev, holding a pole over his head, ran at the detective as if trying to impale him. 
  
 The agent fired at Mr. Todashev several times, knocking him down. Despite being shot, he tried to regain his footing and again lunged at the detective. 
  
 The agent fired at Mr. Todashev several more times, fatally wounding him. 
  
 The description of the shooting in Orlando, Fla., was included in more than a hundred pages of documents released on Tuesday by local investigators in Florida and federal officials in Washington who were looking into whether the F.B.I. agent should be charged with killing Mr. Todashev. 
  
 After an autopsy, forensic tests and dozens of interviews, the investigators in Florida and Washington ultimately came to the same conclusion: The agent had followed the Justice Department’s guidelines that say agents can fire their weapons if they believe they or someone else is under the threat of violence. 
  
 The Florida prosecutor, State Attorney Jeffrey L. Ashton, said in a letter to James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, that the agent had not shown any evidence of “intentional misconduct or acted with any degree of malice.” 
  
 Senior F.B.I. officials had been eager for the report in Florida to be released because it was by investigators outside the Justice Department. 
  
 The F.B.I. and the Justice Department have been criticized by civil libertarian and rights groups who believe that the federal authorities, who rarely have another investigative body look at their inquiries into shootings, were too quick to clear their own agents. 
  
 The New York Times reported last year that F.B.I. agents fatally shot 70 “subjects” and wounded about 80 others from 1993 to early 2011, and that in every case, the agent’s use of force was deemed justified. 
  
 Tuesday’s reports about what occurred in Orlando, after the Boston Marathon bombing, were different from the initial accounts provided by the F.B.I. In the aftermath of the shooting, federal law enforcement officials said Mr. Todashev ran at the F.B.I. agent after he knocked him to the ground. 
  
 The F.B.I. agent, who was based in Boston and was not identified in the reports, went to Florida in May with two Massachusetts State Police detectives to interview Mr. Todashev as part of the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. (The authorities have uncovered no evidence tying Mr. Todashev to the bombing last April, which killed three people and wounded more than 260.) 
  
 While the investigators in Florida and the Justice Department cleared the agent, a joint panel of F.B.I. and Justice Department officials will continue to study the shooting to determine whether lessons can be learned from it. 
  
 That panel will most likely examine the decision to interview the man in his home. Mr. Todashev, who had initially said he was willing to meet the authorities at a secure location, then said he would meet them only at his apartment. 
  
 According to the documents, the agent and the detectives knew that Mr. Todashev had a violent history, was experienced in martial arts and had probably played a role in the homicides. 
  
 As part of an effort to balance “between the competing factors of developing an amicable rapport conducive to gaining information and the potential risk presented by a murder suspect in the freedom of his own residence,” the agent and detectives did not initially search Mr. Todashev or the apartment for weapons, according to the report released by officials in Washington. 
  
 When Mr. Todashev’s attitude changed during the interview, the other Massachusetts detective removed a decorative sword hanging on a wall and hid it behind a shelf near the kitchen. 
  
 Shortly before the shooting, one of the detectives stepped outside to make a phone call to a prosecutor in Massachusetts. Before the detective left the apartment, the prosecutor had sent him a text message: “Don’t put him in custody until we get a warrant.” |||||
A: 
Could better spelling have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing? A soon-to-be released congressional report finds that the US missed multiple chances to detain Tamerlan Tsarnaev after receiving warnings from Russian authorities, NBC reports. In July 2012, less than a year before the bombing, Tsarnaev returned to the US from Dagestan, where he is believed to have received jihad training. His name was on a watchlist warning that he might be armed and dangerous and should be detained, but sources say he wasn't stopped because his name had been entered as "Tsarnayev." The FBI opened and closed an investigation after receiving a warning from Russian authorities but apparently didn't reopen after a second warning was received. The report is "is not blaming the FBI," a congressional staffer says, but is "looking at processes and filling holes." Separately, investigators have released a report clearing an FBI agent of wrongdoing in the death of an acquaintance of Tsarnaev's shot dead while being questioned over a triple murder both men are believed to have committed, reports the New York Times.
