Group: Boston bombing suspect's burial "an awful sneak attack on the people of Virginia" A group critical of the Virginia burial of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect wants the body disinterred and sent elsewhere. The Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force is an activist organization that also opposed establishment of an Islamic school in northern Virginia. Task force chairman James Lafferty said at a news conference Monday that last week's burial of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in a private Muslim cemetery in Caroline County was "an awful sneak attack on the people of Virginia." Lafferty says federal officials should investigate whether any laws were broken. Local and state officials already are doing so. Lafferty predicted the site will become a shrine for Islamic jihadists. The group that helped facilitate the burial says it will not allow construction of any sort of monument or shrine. Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., took responsibility for the body after the slain suspect's wife, Katherine Russell, said she wanted it released to her in-laws. The news that Tsarnaev had been buried Thursday in a rural Islamic cemetery in Virginia, hundreds of miles from his Massachusetts home, shocked some in the southern community, including officials who said they hadn't been informed. "It was a total surprise and shock to us," Amonette told CBS affiliate WTVR. But Caroline County Sheriff Tony Lippa said late Saturday that officials had looked over the paperwork and the interment appears legal. He warned, however, that his small department lacks the money and personnel to provide round-the-clock stakeouts at the cemetery as deputies did Friday night, which passed without incident. "The Sheriff's Office will offer the same amount of protection - no more and no less - to this site as any other cemetery in Caroline County," Lippa said in a press release. The body of Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old ethnic Chechen from Russia, had remained at a Massachusetts, funeral parlor since he was killed April 19 in a gunfight with police, days after the bombings that killed three and injured more than 260. Cemeteries in several states refused to accept the remains. With costs to protect the funeral home mounting, police appealed for help finding a place to bury him. The woman whose actions led to Tsarnaev being buried in Virginia said the anger from local officials, some cemetery neighbors and online critics has been unpleasant, but she has no regrets. So Mullen, a mental health counselor in private practice and a seminary graduate, sent emails to various faith organizations to see what could be done. Some local officials have expressed concern that the grave site could become a target for vandals and a shrine for those who sympathize with Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev's younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured hours after the gunfight with police and remains in custody.
