TL;DR

Ten years after the Boston Marathon bombing, Youssef Eddafali, a former friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, still struggles with guilt and anger over the "monster" he thought he knew. Eddafali and other Muslim immigrants who knew the Tsarnaev brothers have faced renewed suspicion and scrutiny, and continuing surveillance, according to advocates. Eddafali has found solace in therapy, prayer, and writing, and is now finishing a memoir about his experience. He mailed a letter to Tsarnaev last year, with no hope of receiving a reply.
