Sister of Boston marathon bombing suspects arrested for her own bomb threat

Source: Reuters

By Victoria Cavaliere

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The sister of the accused Boston Marathon bombers was arrested in New York City for threatening a woman over the phone, saying she could “put a bomb on you,” police said on Wednesday.

Aliana Tsarnaev, 23, sister of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was facing charges of aggravated harassment, a New York City Police Department spokesman said.

Tsarnaev, of North Bergen, New Jersey, was accused of calling a woman in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood and telling her “I have people that can go over there and put a bomb on you,” the spokesman said.

The two have “some kind of dispute,” he added but gave no further details. Tsarnaev, who turned herself in after being contacted by detectives, was arrested and released. She was expected to be arraigned within days, law enforcement said.

Her surname is so recognizable, she couldn't get away with jaywalking.
