The last flight of the bomber, massacre in Moscow

It seemed they were the work of a woman from the northern Caucasus suicide bombing yesterday's Domodedovo airport in Moscow, which have killed at least 35 people and 168 others were injured, including an Italian citizen. Today's denial: the investigators argue was a man of "a man between thirty and forty years, of strong build and European appearance." "The explosion - refer to other sources - occurred when the suspected suicide bomber has opened his own bag," the sources explained.

"The terrorist - continued - was accompanied by a man who was behind her. The shock wave him off his head. " This would be the severed head belonging to a thirty by physical features similar to those of Arabs, found by investigators in the rubble a few hours after the massacre. The same anonymous sources have thus shown how the bomb attack recasse all the characteristics typical of attacks by extremists of the North Caucasus, and therefore also of Chechnya.

"This act of terrorism", stressed, "has followed the traditional pattern adopted by the terrorists from the North Caucasus." I'll kill you all ". This would have heard the cry that the passengers of the airport in Moscow just before the explosion. The attack, carried out yesterday at around 14:35 Moscow time (4:35 p.m.

the Italian) near the left-luggage at the arrival area of the largest domestic airport, immediately thrown into a panic, the Russian capital that has revived the tragedy of the terrorist attacks in the capital in the spring of 2010. One of tortured bodies and smoke invaded the hall of the airport (photo and video of the scene of the tragedy were visible after a few minutes on the most popular social networks and online versions of Russian newspapers) that occurred before the eyes of the rescuers was a charnel house.

An already difficult situation made even more difficult just by the delays in relief: the 56 ambulances sent by the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobjanin, they had to do the slalom on Kashirskoe Shosse, the road linking Moscow Domodedovo. Where departures and arrivals have continued for at least two hours until airport officials have placed the movement in other airports.

At the same time, President Dmitry Medvedev announced the inevitable crackdown, declaring a state of emergency for all airports, train stations and even the subway. Mobilization order, all the Russian special forces, including the security service FSB (former KGB), and even troops of Omon, the special anti-riot units used against demonstrations in the streets.

Silence on the part of Prime Minister Putin at the time of the explosion was attending to the weighing of the ingots of the Russian central bank. In all this uncertainty, the investigators did not take too long to find a track: the North Caucasus. According to the head of the Investigative Service, Alexandr Bastrykin, there are already three wanted men suspected of being the organizers of the attack.

The "Caucasian track" Interfax agency was immediately revived to become the official version of the majority of Russian media. Doubted, however, by some independent newspapers which they consider too hasty assignment of responsibilities of the deadliest. According Russkij reporter, among the victims, for example, there would be a lot of immigrants just Caucasians.

In addition to some foreigners, including an Italian (whose name, the foreign ministry said it is Rosario Romano). The blame is his safety. "How did the suicide bomber to get up to that area of the airport? - Is the question of the reporter Russkij reporter, Vladimir Antipina - I myself came to Domodedovo without any control, without the presence of a metal detector.

" Just Russkij the reporter, along with the TV channel Teledozhd, reported on its website a particularly disturbing: only after the attack, and after the arrival of Sobjanin mayor, were put into operation the metal-detector. Moreover, the colonel of the police district of Moscow, Viktor Birjukov, arrived at Domodedovo in the evening, told reporters that rumors about a possible attack had come from day to investigators.

So much so that, as reported by some newspapers, two days ago there was an anti-terrorism at Zelenograd, outside Moscow. The operation, however, had been a hole in the water. Despite the gaps, however, the Kremlin did not miss the opportunity to implement special measures and has also "pulled the ears" of security that their bodies, according to him, did not properly apply the already stringent laws.

What happens, every time that Russia was hit by a bloody attack: Immediately after the massacre of children at the school in Beslan in 2004 when then-President Putin decided that the presidents of the republics and governors were appointed directly by the Kremlin, giving rise to so-called "vertical democracy." Even after the attacks on the metro in Moscow on March 29, 2010, were enacted anti-terrorism and anti-extremism, more suited to stifle domestic opposition, with dozens of arrests.

If Medvedev does not have waited a while to raise the alarm and launch new measures, Prime Minister Putin has maintained a low profile, simply order the submission of all necessary aid to the wounded in hospitals. In silence even the North Caucasian Islamic sites, kavkazcenter. com and daymohk.

org: the first, after the attacks on the Moscow subway, was released on video demand of the fundamentalists. Yesterday, on the home page, only the news of the attack, and some anonymous user who wished hell the victims. Meanwhile, this morning were the first 18 identified bodies of 35 victims of the massacre.

Russian media reported, adding that among them there are two Britons, a German and a Bulgarian. The Ministry of Civil Defence has published on its online site of the first names. The identification work was very difficult because many bodies were mangled by the explosion. Used in the attack were aged between five and seven kilograms of explosives reinforced with metal pieces.

Among the more than 168 injured, many remain in critical condition. Also according to local media, calling the situation in Moscow would return calm and traffic is resumed. From the January 25, 2011 (updated at 12:28)
