Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was born in 1994, the year of the first Chechan uprising against Russia. He may have been named after Dzhokhar Dudayev, the first president of Chechnya and Chechen leader who fought against Russians during that war.

In a telephone interview, Pamala Rolon, a UMass-Dartmouth senior and a resident assistant at the Pine Dale dorms, said she knew Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for the past year and finds it incredulous that he played any role in the bombs at the Boston marathon. "He studied. He hung out with me and my friends," she said Friday morning. "I’m in shock." www.boston.com
