FBI agents in Boston have yet to provide information about why Tamerlan Tsarnaev was able to move freely in and out of the country after US officials were warned about him or about the May 22 fatal shooting of one of his friends in Orlando, US Representative William R.

Meanwhile, he said, FBI officials were absent from Capitol Hill hearings about the bombings. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.
