NORTH BERGEN — A North Bergen woman, who is the sister of the accused Boston Marathon bombers, appeared in court on Tuesday for allegedly alluding that she would bomb a Harlem woman's home, the New York Post reported.

Ailina Tsarnaeva, the sister of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for allegedly telling her boyfriend's ex, "I know people that can put a bomb where you live," according to the report. The woman has a child with Ailina Tsarnaev's current boyfriend, according to the report.

In August, Tsarnaeva was charged with misdemeanor aggravated harassment. She denies making the threats, and her attorney said that her brothers have made her "an easy target."

Her bail was set at $5,000.

The Tsarnaev family has well-known connections to Hudson County and has been the subject to extensive media coverage in the wake of the marathon bombings. In August, news surfaced that the Tsarnaev sisters had moved from West New York to North Bergen. News crews flocked to the home after learning that the widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Katherine Russell, had also moved in with her sister-in-law.

In the days following the bombings, Ailina Tsarnaeva released a statement saying she was "devastated". Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to his alleged role in the marathon bombings. His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a police shootout. Officials believe the brothers orchestrated the April 2013 bombings, which killed three people and injured hundreds.
