Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev buried

Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried at an undisclosed location, Massachusetts police say.

Tsarnaev was killed during a manhunt after last month's bombing, which killed three and injured more than 260.

Dozens of protesters picketed the Worcester funeral home holding his body last week.

"As a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed to properly bury the deceased," a police statement said.

The statement also thanked "the community that provided the burial site".

Surviving brother Dzhokhar is in a prison hospital after being shot and injured during the police manhunt.

The family are ethnic Chechen Muslims from Russia and had been living in the US for about a decade. Tamerlan was drawn to radical Islam.
