This combination of undated photos shows Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, left, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. The FBI says the two brothers and suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during a getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left Tamerlan dead and Dzhokhar still at large on Friday, April 19, 2013. The ethnic Chechen brothers lived in Dagestan, which borders the Chechnya region in southern Russia. They lived near Boston and had been in the U.S. for about a decade, one of their uncles reported said.

You may have seen the Boston Globe's special section Sunday on the Tsarnaevs, the family of the accused Boston Marathon bombers, Tamerlan and Jahar Tsarnaev.

Three reporters spent five months investigating the family's story in four different countries — Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Canada and the United States.

Two of those reporters speak with WBUR's Sacha Pfeiffer about why they conducted this investigation and what they learned.
