From the above link:
"The suspects' mother, Zubeidat, was with Anzor Tsarnaev in the village but did not wish to speak.
"She is ill, she is shocked, she is depressed. She lost her children," Tsarnaev said. The couple are divorced but have stayed together."
So Mama has finally shut the heck up!
Interesting that the couple divorced but they are together. In the U.S. becoming divorced is a known tactic for a woman to qualify for welfare benefits.
Another quote from the same article:
The father said he had no hope that Tamerlan's body would be released by the U.S. authorities to be buried in his homeland.
"They won't give us his body," he said, his voice breaking with emotion. "We wont be able to bury him in our land."
I am assuming the "us" phrase refers to a brother (uncle of bomber) who attempted to obtain release of the body. Here in Pennsylvania, it is not legal to release the body of a married man to anyone other than to the wife unless the wife has specifically -in writing - given permission. (Encountered this within my own family when a visiting relative died here during a visit.)
Wonder which uncle it was who attempted to obtain the body? If you read the transcript of the very long interview of Mama and Papa from Thursday, they talk about it being very expensive to bring his body over to Dagestan. They also mention talking to a brother who is here in America about what to do about burial. Does not say which brother.
---------------
The family name is quite distinct. It can be searched using free public records search engines. Yes, it appears there was a name change at some time, but not all THAT long ago. I will not say any more and hope this info does not violate terms of service.

"Do you think he left the child alone in the apartment? "
One would hope not. But this issue of he child raises SO many questions. The mother is at work, sees the TV report, calls the apartment and tells Older Bomber "you are being watched", according to news reports.
You are being WATCHED? What the heck is that supposed to mean? Not "Your picture is all over the TV"?
But, hey, maybe if someone has already expressed a fear of "being watched", then what you would do is to call them and confirm that yes, indeed, you ARE being watched. I don't know, but that wording just sounds so hinky.
So the wife then does what? We don't know. There seems to be a gap in information. Did she go home to the apartment to retrieve the child?
I'm lost as to when LE learned the name of the Dead Bomber. Or the address of the apartment. I know the Younger Bomber had ID on him when captured. But did they have an identity on Older Bomber right away or did they have a dead unknown perp on their hands?
So many unanswered questions!
