The family of deceased Boston terror suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has mentioned the influence of a radical Muslim in his life.

While there is no information on when Tamerlan and Misha have met, NY Mag details that he has been a key factor in his conversion to Islam.

Said conversion was accompanied by the young man of Chechen background changing his habits, listening to a different kind of music and becoming interested in radical publications such as Al Qaeda's Inspire.

A certain issue of that magazine apparently listed information on pressure cooker bombs, which, as I wrote, were also used in the Boston Marathon explosions.

Misha's identity remains a mystery, but he has met Tsarnaev's family. They described that Tamerlan had been entranced by his teachings.

As of yet, the only information available on him is that he's a bald, red-bearded, 30-year-old Armenian that believes he can fend off demons through exorcism.
