Boston bomber's wife hires terrorism lawyer

The widow of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has hired a lawyer with experience defending terrorism cases.

Katherine Russell~~-Tsarnaev~~, who continues to face questions from the US authorities, added Joshua Dratel to her legal team, her lawyer Amato DeLuca said. Dratel's "unique, specialised experience" will help ensure that Russell~~-Tsarnaev~~ "can assist in the ongoing investigation in the most constructive way possible", said DeLuca.

Dratel has represented a number of terrorism suspects in US federal courts and military commissions, including Guantánamo Bay detainee David Hicks, who attended an al-Qaida-linked training camp in Afghanistan.

DeLuca, who specialises in civil cases such as personal injury law, said Russell~~-Tsarnaev~~ will continue to meet investigators as "part of a series of meetings over many hours where she has answered questions".

An FBI spokeswoman would not comment when asked on Wednesday whether Russell~~-Tsarnaev~~ is co-operating with the authorities. DeLuca has said his client had no reason to suspect her husband and his brother in the bombing.
