Mosque won't bury suspect
Mosque won't bury suspect, A mosque won’t bury suspect number one in the Boston Marathon bombings, as it was revealed by the suspect’s own family member on Wednesday, April 24.
The aunt of suspect number one, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed last week by police after an ugly shootout began following a deadly incident at MIT.
Less than a week later, Tsarnaev’s own aunt Patimat Suleimanova revealed to the media that authorities presiding over the Boston Marathon bombings informed Tsarnaev’s family that they can have his body for burial purposes.
But when an uncle of the suspect approached a mosque to request a burial, they were refused, as they wanted no part of being affiliated with a main suspect of a terror attack on American soil.
Tsarnaev, of course, was killed on Friday after a shootout with Boston police. His younger brother was found badly injured but alive shortly thereafter, as he was discovered hiding in a boat in Watertown, Massachusetts.
The younger brother, Dzhokhar, was unable to speak to authorities after being arrested due to a gunshot wound in his throat.
Now, however, it’s been revealed that Dzhokhar is communicating with authorities by writing down answers on a piece of paper.
While at the hospital, Dzhokhar—also known as Supspect #2—was clinging to life, with authorities worried they’d never have the opportunity to question him about he and his brother’s motiviation for the bombing.
