Tamerlan Tsarnaev received state welfare benefits
Boston bombing suspect, parents received welfare benefits

Massachusetts taxpayers must be delighted to learn that they were supporting slain Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and daughter. State officials confirmed that the 26-year-old received welfare benefits, as did both of his parents (younger brother Dzhokhar did, too, at least until he turned 18). The Executive Office of Health and Human Services said that Tsarnaev and his wife, Katherine, stopped getting government handouts in 2012, but a trip to Dagestan in which he reportedly visited "a notorious radical mosque" may have occurred while the couple still received benefits. A government spokesman reiterated that the Tsarnaevs weren't on welfare at the time of the Boston attacks. Is that supposed to be good news?
