Im guessing it was the older brother who got his little brother. I think I read somewhere that the older brother had come back from overseas and Russia told us to watch this guy.

This was written by the little brother while he was in the boat. Its pretty powerful if you think about it. It reminds me of the Kamikaze's of WWII.

"I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive. God has a plan for each person. Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions,” Tsarnaev wrote in the note, according to WHDH.

In his note, Tsarnaev added that "...we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all... know you are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven, now how can you compete with that."
