        3 Suspects Taken Into Custody in Connection with Boston Bombing

   by VOA News

   Three additional suspects have been taken into custody in the
   investigation of last month's bombing attack at the Boston Marathon,
   the Boston Police Department said in its official Twitter feed on
   Wednesday.
   The police offered no further information on who the suspects were.

   Meanwhile, the widow of bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev wants his
   body released to his relatives.
   As U.S. authorities continue to question the widow, Katherine Russell,
   her lawyer says she wants her husband's remains released to the
   Tsarnaev family. Tsarnaev's father Anzor said last week he wants to
   bury his son, who died after a shootout with police just days after
   twin explosions killed three people and injured more than 250 near the
   finish line of the race.
   Investigators have spent hours questioning Russell this week about any
   information she has on how her 26-year-old husband and his younger
   brother Dzhokhar allegedly built the bombs and whether they had help in
   carrying out the April 15 attack.
   U.S. authorities took DNA samples from the home of Russell's parents in
   the northeastern state of Rhode Island. The investigators are trying to
   determine who else may have handled the pressure cookers that contained
   the bombs after finding a woman's DNA on one of them.
   Some U.S. lawmakers, including Senator Lindsey Graham, have criticized
   American intelligence agencies for failing to connect pieces of
   information collected over the last year that the older Tsarnaev
   brother was becoming a radical Islamist.
   President Barack Obama said Tuesday that a full review of U.S.
   intelligence gathering on Tsarnaev is underway, but rejected criticism
   that the intelligence agencies had performed poorly.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP.
