Boston Bombs: Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Body Buried

The body of accused Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried at an undisclosed location, police have said.

A statement from the Worcester, Massachusetts, police department said: "As a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed to properly bury the deceased. 

"His body is no longer in the City of Worcester and is now entombed."

Tsarnaev's body had been at a funeral home in Worcester for a week after more than 100 cemeteries refused to bury the 26-year-old.

Protesters called for Tsarnaev's body to be taken out of the country

Funeral director Peter Stefan said he could not find a community willing to take the body, including Cambridge, where the Tsarnaev family had lived for a decade.

On Wednesday, Worcester Police Chief Gary Gemme urged someone to take on the task, saying: "We are not barbarians. We bury the dead."

Police said it had cost tens of thousands of dollars to provide security at the funeral home.

An expert in US burial law said the resistance to Tsarnaev's burial was unprecedented in a country that has always found a way to put to rest its notorious killers, from Lee Harvey Oswald to Adam Lanza.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction

Tamerlan and his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are accused of planting two shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon finish line on April 15, killing three people and injuring 260.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a getaway attempt after a gun battle with police four days after the bombings.

Dzhokhar, 19, was later captured hiding in a boat outside a house in a Boston suburb. He is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill.

Meanwhile, Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow has hired a criminal lawyer with experience defending terrorism cases as she continues to face questions from federal authorities.

Katherine Russell has worked to distance herself from her late husband

Katherine Russell has added New York lawyer Joshua Dratel to her legal team, her attorney Amato DeLuca said.

Mr Dratel has represented a number of terrorism suspects in federal courts and military commissions, including Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks, who attended an al Qaeda-linked training camp in Afghanistan.

An FBI spokeswoman would not comment when asked whether Ms Russell is cooperating. Mr DeLuca has said his client had no reason to suspect her husband and his brother were involved in the deadly attacks.
