RICHMOND, VA — America's leading Islamic organization took to the airwaves today in outrage after a local news station confirmed rumors that the deceased Boston Marathon bomber had accidentally been interred in a Confederate military cemetery.
WCSA Channel 61 broke the story on Monday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had not been interred in the Al-Barzakh cemetery in Doswell — originally reported by most news outlets last week — but was accidentally buried in the Spotsylvania Confederate Cemetery just down the road.
The reaction by Islamic groups was swift.
"Through what we can only describe as a gross error of judgement, Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried among a group of traitors," Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America, complained to reporters.
