Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried in a rural cemetery in Virginia, infuriating some members of the area’s Muslim community as well as local officials who said they were not consulted. Some of the officials said on Friday that that they would examine whether all laws were followed and could seek to have his body moved elsewhere. They said they were not informed about the burial and were concerned about the site becoming a shrine to anti-US sympathisers. This week’s interment at a small Islamic cemetery ended a long search for a community willing to take the body, which had been kept at a funeral parlour in Massachusetts. Tsarnaev was killed on April 19 after a gun battle with police. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, was captured later and remains in custody.
