Ibragim Todashev's Father to File Wrongful Death Suit Against FBI

This would be a great plot for a movie. A grieving father travels to a far off and often hostile land to seek justice for his son who was slain by corrupt police. Abdulbaki Todashev, father of Ibragim Todashev is here to take on the FBI. He has hired a private detective to help him document his case. He is being aided by the ACLU and CAIR but has not hired his own attorney. He has photographs of Ibragim's body showing 7 bullet wounds including 2 shots about an inch apart through the top of the head. “He was shot seven times,” his father says. “In the heart and in the head. What is that if not murder?”

Ibragim Todashev has been dead for 2 and one half months while the FBI claims to be investigating the shooting. Supposedly while being interrogated in his apartment he “initiated a violent confrontation”. The FBI has issued several tortured and contradictory accounts of the shooting before deciding to just keep quiet, claiming it could not comment on an ongoing investigation. As to Todashev's ability to “initiated a violent confrontation” I have documented in a previous post his fighting weight was 154 pounds and now his father reveals he was recovering from knee surgery and used crutches.
The Florida medical examiner has refused to release the autopsy report citing an ongoing FBI investigation. Good luck on keeping that sealed when Mr. Todashev's lawyer eventually files for discovery. Todashev faces an uphill fight with limited English and limited resources but he comes from an area where blood feuds can last generations. I hope he gets justice.
