this week. the wife s attorney says the reports about her husband came as a shock. that does seem odd, because these aren t luxury, spacious apartments. if someone is building a bomb in one, one would think you would know about it. meanwhile, the fbi and police are searching in and around the town of dartmouth, massachusetts where dzhokhar tsarnaev went to school. a source is checking tips about loud explosions in the area in recent months. protesters stood outside a funeral home that briefly took in tamerlan tsarnaev s body before his uncle picked it up. the mayor of worster confirms his city has the city of being chosen as the site of tamerlan tsarnaev s funeral. with the release of the body, the official cause of death could be announced as early as today. i want to begin with juliette, a boston globe columnist. this new crackdown on verifying
it was taken to one funeral home, then to another in worster, massachusetts. the body was claimed by his uncle that lives in maryland. the family is dmenepending an independent autopsy. they do not believe the cause of death will come out what it will be. they want an independent autopsy to be performed. so not clear when he will be buried. jim? all right. thank you. there s also new word that the federal government is about to revamp its system of allowing international students into the u.s. it comes days after three friends of the lead wesho dzh were charged with a cover up. more from our crime and justice correspondent joe johns. sounds like a good idea, john. reporter: this was bound to have a ripple effect, just the
krauthammer. steve? this is the worster if formenace by any cabinet in the past decades. what you showed i thought wasn t the worst of it. the difficulty in am difficulty in analyzing today is choosing what to focus on. there were 20 or 30 misstatement osar times he didn t know what he was talking about or stumbled. i picked up these four which were the important one. he didn t know that the sequester cut come from the budget control act. he seems to be shocked by this and talked about in a way that was confusing. the second was what you played where he suggested that the iranian regime is legitimate elected government. he wouldn t acknowledge in repeating questioning that the iran revolutionary guard corps is terrorist entity. this is not in dispute by anybody. you had senior officials going
debates, one in worster and one in new bedford that would involve important issues and he s said, no, not doing them. that s where we are. we have four television debates which i think is good, but it took a lot of effort to get them there, and i really genuinely wish we had more because there are a lot of issues we should be talking about. i genuinely wish we were going to be in central mass in and southern mass, and i think it s a mistake not to do that, but i think it s hard to debate alone. so there we are. scott brown attempted it tonight on his friend s radio show. and we listened in on the interview, and one of the things he said, he made some news, do we have the sound? we have the sound of this. he was asked about the vote due to happen tomorrow in the house about attorney general eric holder. he called for eric holder s resignation. listen. attorney general holder, you
where they ll be. let s be sure we get diversity all around the state, and they said, no. in i really mean this, they called me back and said no, i said, what do you mean, no? they said no, they won t talk about it. they won t even talk about the debates. so then scott brown s campaign manager started accepting some debates like this one youç jus mentioned. and refusing others, and so the whole thing has been three weeks of kind of this public thing over debates. including the business around the kennedy institute. and including now two regional debates, one in worster and one in new bedf feford that would involve important issues and he s said, no, not doing them. that s where we are. we have four television debates which i think is good, but it took a lot of effort to get them there, and i really genuinely
