Slain Suspect Bought Fireworks 2 Months Before Attack; Wife Vows Cooperation with Probe 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Investigators say the Tsarnaev brothers may have learned to make the
pressure-cooker bombs they used by reading the al-Qaeda magazine
"Inspire." The older brother bought fireworks from a store in New
Hampshire two months before the attack. On Tuesday, lawyers for his
wife, Katherine Russell, said she is cooperating with the investigation.

Amato De Luca: "She is doing everything she can to assist in the ongoing
investigation."

Miriam Weizenbaum: "The injuries and loss of life to people who came to
celebrate a race and a holiday has caused profound distress and sorrow
to Katie and her family. The reports of involvement by her husband and
brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all."
