The Record
The massive investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing took a dramatic turn into northern New Jersey Friday, as federal agents interviewed one of the suspects’ sisters at her West New York apartment and searched for their other sister in Fairview.
About a dozen agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation spent five hours at one sister’s Buchanan Place home in West New York, leaving at about 4 p.m. after questioning her, removing a computer and cell phones. Later, local police hauled away several black plastic bags full of items.
The woman was cooperating with federal investigators, said Michael E. Indri, director of police in West New York. He called her “heartbroken and shocked.”
Indri said she told investigators she had not been in contact with her brothers for some time, but officials took her computer and hand-held devices, like cell phones, to look for past communications. He did not give her name, but public records show a 22-year-old woman by the name of Ailina Tsarnaev at that address, who also goes by Amina.
