She was known as Katie, a pretty, popular girl from a well-respected Rhode Island family. In high school, she excelled at music and art and worshipped David Bowie. As a freshman at Suffolk University, she majored in communications, and she and a gaggle of friends modeled themselves after the girls on “Sex and the City.”
She thought about joining the Peace Corps.
That was before 2010, when she met the man she’d drop out of school to marry, the man for whom she’d convert to Islam, the man who, three years later, would leave her with a baby daughter and the threat of jail time.
Today, at 25, Katie Russell is best known as the widow of the Boston bomber. As the first anniversary of the attack nears, she remains one of its biggest mysteries — how she was drawn into her husband’s world, and what she knew about his plans.

Nothing to see here, move along to the anti Putin demonstration across the street.
The degenerate LIB moozlum should be water-boarded at the least...water-boarded then deported at best.
Right off the bat - “she worshipped David Bowie”. Total lack of judgement, and poor catechesis in the Catholic faith &/or the Christian faith.
Looks to me as though she has a foundation made of sand which shifts with the slightest breeze.
That can’t be true....I didn’t read it in the NYT’s

Very interesting post...
The bitch was an accomplice, said so from Day One.
That's why events such as 9/11 and the Marathon bombings are known as "blowback" in the trade.
