Why is Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev being buried in Virginia?

Authorities had a hard time finding a cemetery that would accept the remains of Tsarnaev, who was killed in a shooting with police days after he helped plant the bombs that killed three people and injured countless others near the finishline of the Boston Marathon last month. Responding to a police request for help finding a burial site, a woman from Virginia worked with the Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia to arrange for Tsarnaev to be placed at Al-Barzakh cemetery in rural Caroline County, Va., about 30 miles north of Richmond. Tsarnaev was quietly buried there Thursday. His younger brother and alleged accomplice, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, remains in custody.
