Ailina Tsarnaeva, the sister of the Boston Marathon bombing brothers, was arrested in New York City after officials say she made a bomb threat against an upper Manhattan woman via telephone.
Ailina, who lives in North Bergen, N.J., was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated harassment and released pending a hearing next month.

Reports say Ailina told the Harlem woman she had “people who can go over there and put a bomb on you.” She already has been required to check in with Massachusetts probation officers after prosecutors said she refused to cooperate with a 2010 counterfeiting investigation.
The victim of Ailina’s threat has a child with the father of one of Tsarnaev’s children.
