    The suspected Boston bomber wanted to be barista.
    Dzhokhar Tsarnaev discussed opening a Starbucks in Kazakhstan around the time of last year's horrific attack that killed four people and injured hundreds more, an FBI agent reportedly testified Thursday.
    The alleged admission came with Special Agent Steven Schiliro's testimony in a Boston federal court after speaking with Tsarnaev's friends.
    "He was going to start a business with Dzhokhar," ABC News reported Schiliro testifying of his conversation with former UMass Dartmouth student and Kazakh national Dias Kadyrbayev.
    Tsarnaev is awaiting trial for his role in last year's attack that killed four people and injured hundreds more. His older brother, Tamerlan, died in a gun battle with police four days after the attack.
    Instead of brewing coffee, prosecutors say Tsarnaev went ahead with plans to place two pressure cooker bombs near the marathon's finish line on April 15 with his older brother, Tamerlan.
    The alleged discussion at Kadyrbayev's apartment last year provided a bizarre glimpse into what could have easily been a far different ending for Tsarnaev, who is facing the death penalty for the terror attack.
    Defense attorneys for Kadyrbayev, his roommate Azmat Tazhayakov, and Robel Phillipos argued Thursday for any statements made by them to the FBI after the April 15 attack to be tossed out of the trial.
    Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov have been charged with obstruction of justice while Phillipos was charged with lying to investigators for their roles immediately after the bombing.
    The trio's attorneys argued that any comments made to investigators in the immediate aftermath were before they were arrested and when they didn't have an attorney.
    They have pleaded not guilty, according to the New York Daily News.
