Protests Over Boston Bomb Suspect's Burial

A funeral home director is struggling to find a cemetery to bury Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev following protests.

Dozens of protesters have gathered outside the funeral home since the 26-year-old's body was released by the state medical examiner on Thursday.

"My problem here is trying to find a gravesite. A lot of people don't want to do it. They don't want to be involved with this.

"I keep bringing up the point of Lee Harvey Oswald, Timothy McVeigh or Ted Bundy. Somebody had to do those, too," said Peter Stefan, of Graham Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlours in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Tsarnaev died from gunshot wounds and blunt trauma to his head and torso, according to his death certificate revealed by Mr Stefan.

He died after a gunfight with authorities on April 19, four days after the bombing which killed three people.

Azamat Tazhayakov (L) and Dias Kadyrbayev have been charged

Police have said that Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen from Russia who came to the US about a decade ago, ran out of ammunition during the gunfight before his younger brother Dzhokhar dragged his body under a vehicle while fleeing.

Tsarnaev's family was making arrangements for his funeral as investigators searched woods near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth campus, which 19-year-old Dzhokhar attended.

Robel Phillipos has also been charged with making false statements

US officials said Dzhokhar had told interrogators he and his brother initially considered detonating their bombs on July 4.

Boston police say they plan to review security procedures for the Independence Day Boston Pops concert and fireworks display, which draws a crowd of more than 500,000 and is broadcast to a national TV audience.

Authorities will also look at security for large events held in other cities, including the New Year's Eve celebration in New York City's Times Square.

Dzhokhar, who was found hiding in a tarpaulin-covered boat in Watertown, faces a charge of using a weapon of mass destruction to kill.

Three of his college classmates were arrested on Wednesday, accused of helping after the bombing to remove a laptop and backpack from his dormitory room before the FBI searched it.

Three people were killed after bombs were set off at the Boston Marathon

The April 15 bombing, which used pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards, killed three people and injured more than 260 others near the marathon's finishing line.
