Man Under Surveillance by Joint Terrorism Task Force - Also Happens to Be The Brother of a Prominent Imam -  Shot Dead in Boston

A man wielding a large, military-style knife came at police and FBI agents as they attempted to interview him in Boston early Tuesday, and was fatally shot only after he refused to drop the weapon, officials said. 

Usaamah Abdullah Rahim had been under 24-hour surveillance by the Boston Joint Terrorism Task Force, and a senior official told NBC News they were investigating whether the 26-year-old Boston man had become radicalized by ISIS-inspired social media messages and feared a terror plot was in the works. 

A second man from the Boston suburb of Everett was later taken into custody as officials conducted a related terrorism investigation, Boston police said Tuesday night. His name was not released. Rahim was stopped around 7 a.m. ET at a CVS parking lot in Boston's Roslindale neighborhood, FBI Special Agent in Charge Vincent Lisi said at an afternoon news conference. 

The officers wanted to interview him at the scene, but had no warrant for his arrest. The officers did not have their guns drawn, and Rahim pulled a knife out first, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans told reporters.
