Boston Globe: Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev
is buried in Doswell, Va.

The remains of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev have
been buried in a Muslim cemetery in Doswell, a small community in
central Virginia about 15 miles from the state capital of Richmond.

Tsarnaev’s remains are interred at the Al-Barzakh Cemetery, the first
Muslim cemetery in central Virginia, according to two sources briefed on
the situation. Officials from the cemetery could not immediately be
reached for comment.

The burial was coordinated by a Virginia woman who saw news reports
about the protest outside the Worcester funeral home, where it had
languished for nearly a week, and decided to help. She said today that
she had reached out to the Islamic Society of Greater Richmond and asked
if they could help facilitate the burial. The society then secured a
burial plot in the cemetery and coordinated the body’s transfer
Wednesday night.

On the official Virginia tourism webpage, Doswell is described as a
village once known as Hanover Junction because two railroads lines that
played a role in the Civil War are located nearby. Doswell is part of
Hanover County, which is located about 15 miles from the state capital
Richmond, and is also listed as the birthplace of Triple Crown Winner,
Secretariat.

Doswell also is home to a pretty crappy amusement park called King's
Dominion, off to the east if you are driving on I-95 north of Richmond.
