As law enforcement blanket the Boston suburbs in search of the surviving suspect in the Boston bombing, a senior source on Capitol Hill tells Fox News that the FBI is looking into any travel the suspects may have taken since arriving in the country -- while the intelligence community crosses its fingers that the suspect will be taken alive.
One of the suspects was killed in a shoot-out overnight, and the other -- identified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev -- is on the loose.
The senior source, who has been briefed by the National Counterterrorism Center on the manhunt, told Fox News the FBI is trying to find out if the two went overseas or were potentially radicalized in the United States, since arriving as much as a decade ago.
The source said the FBI is tracking passports, airline tickets and a lot of other data.
While authorities are following the paper trail, the source said the consensus in the intelligence community is that it's "really important that we try to take this guy alive" so he can be questioned. The goal is to find out whether more are involved.
"We would really prefer to have that intel," the source said.
The source said officials know the two suspects are Muslim, but don't know if they attended a mosque in the area -- and are looking closely at that possibility.
