Father Says Son Killed by FBI During Bombing Investigation Was Executed
Claims Todashev had six gunshot wounds, including one to the back of the head
The father of a Chechen immigrant killed while being interrogated by the FBI about his ties to a Boston Marathon bombings suspect says agents killed his son "execution style."
At a press conference Thursday in Moscow, Abdul-Baki Todashev showed journalists 16 photographs he said were of his son, Ibragim, in a Florida morgue. He said his son had six gunshot wounds to his torso and one to the back of his head and the pictures were taken by his son's friend, Khusen Taramov.

I'm no fan of the FBI, but this is pure Russian-style conspiracy theory and on the same level as the "Princess Di was Assassinated" theories.
Pure balderdash.
My clueless friend:
In this day of Executive Branch ordered murders of Americans without trial or due process, there's no such thing as "conspiracy theory" anymore. It's all out in the open.
The pic appears to be an execution:
