Zahara is being looked after by her mother's family

The 3-year-old daughter of deceased Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev is being protected by her mother's family from those accusing her father.

NY Daily News writes that Zahara is being concealed by Katherine Russell's mother, Judith, on a property in Rhode Island.

As I mentioned before, Katherine denies being involved in the attacks. She married Tsarnaev at 21, dropped out of college and had his child within a year.

It was the same year that she converted to Islam, making her friends worry about a change in behavior and attitude.

Tsarnaev himself reportedly adopted the religion under the influence of a yet-unidentified man of Armenian descent, only known as “Misha.”

Along with his wife and daughter, he was on welfare until 2012, when Katherine started working full time.
