The widow of Boston Marathon bomber Tamerland is currently active on social media, and a new book describes her life situation. The case occurred in April 2013, when the Boston Marathon bombing was the worst terrorist attack on the U.S. mainland since 1991.
To this day, Russell, the widow of Tamerlan Tharnayev, still wears a veil, indicating that she did not convert after marrying Tamerlan and converting to Islam. In another photo, Russell, who identified herself as Kalima, wore a navy turban and sunglasses filter and looked much thinner than before.
Journalist Michelle McPhee mentioned Russell's Facebook account in a new book about the bombing. McPhee has been covering the case in depth for years.
Before the Marathon bombing, Russell was barred from Boston and placed on a watch list — but somehow she wasn't questioned by the FBI after the bombing.
Russell, 31, was one of the most talked about in the Boston bombings. In the Boston bombings, the Tsarnaev brothers planted a pressure cooker bomb near the marathon finish line. This Wednesday will be the seventh anniversary of this tragedy.
The bomb exploded and injured hundreds of people and killed three people, including 8-year-old Martin Richard. Tamerlan was shot dead by police and his brother, both first-generation immigrants from Kyrgyzstan, were sentenced to death.
Underneath one of Russell's photos, her mother, Judith, commented: "You guys look so smart," while her father, Warren, wrote: "So cute!" Her recent post included: "Be patient with what they say. Another reads: "The most hateful person in Allah's eyes is the one who loves to quarrel." ”
Russell has kept a low profile since her husband's death and was last seen living in a dilapidated apartment in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Russell comes from a very different family background than her husband, a typical white American girl from a privileged family with an emergency room doctor and a nurse mother who grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in North Kingston, Rhode Island. In 2009, Russell met Tamerland while taking a class at Suffolk University.
McPhee wrote that in 2010, when her daughter began studying the Quran in a headscarf, Russell's mother, Judy, was "terrified." Due to Tamerlan's grumpy temper, her grades slipped, she dropped out of school, and her friends began to worry about Russell. When Russell announced her pregnancy, the mother and daughter became more and more distant, not closer.
On the same day that she announced her pregnancy, Russell announced that she was going to wear a veil. Judy objected, and Russell retaliated by not inviting any family members to her wedding at a mosque. McPhee wrote: "This memory makes Judy's voice tremble, even six years later. ”
In October of that year, Russell gave birth to her daughter Zahira, and Russell began to name herself Kalima. But because Tamerland's cramped apartment in Cambridge couldn't accommodate a small family, Russell moved back to her parents. She was supposed to live for a while, but it turned out to be 10 months. Tamerlan didn't help pay for anything, and Russell's parents were responsible for buying diapers and baby food, and their frustration grew.
Russell told her parents that Tamerlan's father was a lawyer, but they later found out that the law degree had been bought, Judy said. Tamerlan's sisters are divorced and have children of their own, while his mother still lives in an apartment in Cambridge, which is "decorated with multiple black Islamic flags, often associated with jihad".
In the days after the blast, Russell was seen in and out of her parents' home, but she has been rarely seen since. It's unclear why Russell wasn't indicted, as McPhee wrote that the charges against her were strong.
