The terrorist suicide attack at the airport Domodedovo was a man

MOSCOW - He was a man that yesterday was the suicide bomber blew up the Moscow Domodedovo airport, where yesterday 35 people were killed and 168, including an Italian, were injured. I am now convinced the Russian investigators, a spokesman told the Itar Tass news agency that "the terrorist was between 30 and 40 years, was stocky and had a European appearance." The website of Russian Life News, judged reliable published the photo, which appears as a unique, head of the alleged suicide bomber, the only part of his body would remain intact.

The same site also shows a movie with the reconstruction of the explosion. The bomb, said a source investigative agency Interfax, was linked to the human body, which would have been alone. "The remains of one man, who allegedly committed the terrorist attack were found at the scene," the source said.

"The nature of the wounds inflicted by the terrorist show that the explosive device was attached to his body," he added. The news contradicts what initially suspected. The Russian press had in fact spoken of a female suicide bomber, recalling the attack on the subway in March last year, and returning on the 'black widows' of the North Caucasus, women who lost husbands, killed in action, and to avenge death were voluntarily made available to the Islamic separatist guerrillas as suicide bombers.

According to a police source quoted by the Ria-Novosti, the female suicide bomber was accompanied by an accomplice, perhaps a 'fighter' of Arabic origin. Both later died in the explosion. According to some reports the two bombers had been conducted at the airport by a third accomplice who then waited in a car parked in front of the airport.

Now the news has been disproved. VIDEO The time of the explosion - the day after the same argument was supported by Kommersant. According to the Russian newspaper the bomber was part of a commando arrived from the North Caucasus. In all likelihood, from Chechnya. Investigators have no doubts on the fact Caucasian array of terrorist: "The rules are the traditional ones of terrorists from the North Caucasus", ie Muslim rebel republics as Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, said an official who asked not to be anonymous.

For now, though there has been no claim and the site Kavkazcentr, spokesman for the rebel positions traditionally Muslim Caucasus, this morning reported only chronicles the events of yesterday at Domodedovo, ironic take on the alleged "track followed for days by Russian security forces" , which would have been on the trail, unsuccessfully, to three suspects.

The Kommersant also maintained that the Russian secret services had been alerted to the danger of a bomb attack on a larger scale after the complete destruction of a small building located inside a country club and blew up on the evening of December 31 last year. The explosion, according to anonymous sources in the newspaper, was provoked by another Caucasian woman who had accidentally triggered the charge that he brought with him because of his inexperience.

"The guerrilla leaders had sent women to make an attack on New Year's Eve, but one of them detonated his explosives prematurely, and reconstruction. On the other hand, the suicide bombers of 31 December was in turn accompanied by an accomplice managed to escape: it would be the wife of an extremist who is serving a prison sentence for the crime of participation in an armed gang.

Just she was captured later in Volgograd in southern Russia, where he had taken refuge. The authorities in Moscow in the meantime would be put on the hunt for another three Chechens suspected of planning a new suicide attack: the trio was accompanied Domomedovo the suicide bomber who blew herself up yesterday.

Immediately after the mission, the three would have vanished without a trace. The pain of the Pope In a telegram to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, sent in his name by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Benedict XVI is to arrive at Moscow "deep sorrow and strong condemnation of the serious act of violence." The Pontiff added: "feelings of spiritual closeness and heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and pray for the wounded, who addressed a" special thought ".

Finally, "combines the pain" of the entire Russian Federation. The controls at the airport. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, announced that after the attack stricter controls and promised that the culprits will be caught and liquidated "(" Terrorism remains the greatest threat to the security of our state, "Medvedev said after observing a minute's silence for the victims of his face visibly moved), has called into question the direction of the airport Domodedovo: "What happened clearly shows that there has been a breach of security, or could not have spend a similar amount of explosives.

managers, decision makers and the direction of the airport, will have to answer for this. It 'an act of terrorism. It' s a tragedy. " But the spokesman of the airport, Yelena Galanova, denies any responsibility: "We think that we should not be held responsible for the explosion, so that all aviation security measures have been taken by our staff," said the official Moscow hub.

The condemnation of Tehran. "Iran condemns the terrorist attack and presents its condolences to the families of the victims, the nation and the Russian government," said Foreign Ministry spokesman in Tehran, was quoted today by television in English PressTv. Putin: "The culprits will be punished." Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has assured that the perpetrators of the suicide attack today in Moscow-Domodedovo airport will be punished and promised compensation to the families of victims and injured.

"I have no doubt that this crime will be clarified and that punishment is inevitable," said Putin at a meeting of the government. The premier called on ministers to observe a minute's silence in memory of the victims of the attack, which he called "a cruel and senseless crime." Putin then announced an order for compensation to three million rubles (approximately € 75 thousand) family members of victims and the injured lower figures.

In the same hours the President Dmitri Medvedev visited the injured admitted to the primary care teams in the capital, the Sklifasovski.

Security measures. All federal transportation and all major traffic centers in Russia have been placed under emergency until next Monday. The tightening of security measures in the Russian capital is obvious. Starting from the subway, where controls have been intensified, in particular on those apparently originating in the Caucasus.

"In 2010 the number of attacks has increased," said the Russian president. "For the FSB, as well as other state security apparatus, this is the most alarming warning." Medvedev has therefore undertaken to further strengthen the preventive measures under consideration for the Olympic Winter Games to be held in 2014 in Sochi on the Black Sea "Here imposed some important events," he said, "for which you are not only preparing participants but also criminals, bandits and terrorist scum.

" The death toll. At 7.30 local time (5.30 Italian) had been established the identity of 25 of the 35 people killed in the attack. Among them eight foreigners: two Britons, a German, a Bulgarian who lives in Austria, a Tajik, a Kyrgyz, a Uzbekistan, a town in Ukraine. The latter was called Mashutina Anna, 29, and was a writer well known in the entertainment world, particularly in Eastern Europe and the former USSR, as screenwriter and author of plays.

Moscow hospitals, he added, 84 injured are still hospitalized. "More than 30 people - said Leonid Pechatnikov, head of health department of the Russian capital - have undergone surgery in our hospitals last night and none of them is dead." According to the Ministry of Health and Social Development, 110 people were injured and hospitalized.

Of them, 43 were in serious condition. But the death toll of the attack should not worsen. The only Italian involved, Rosario Romano, 61, an employee of a British pharmaceutical company, was not seriously injured and is undergoing certain tests.
