Russian Authorities Identify Domodedovo Suicide Bomber

Russian authorities say the suicide bomber who attacked the Domodedovo Airport in Moscow last week has been identified. The Russian Investigative Committee refused to release the bomber’s name, but did say it was a 20-year-old from the North Caucasus.

The RIA Novosti reports authorities are still looking for those responsible for planning the deadly attack, which left 35 people dead and 152 others injured. The attack resulted in Russian President Dmitry Medvedev firing a top official of the transport police.

"What happened at Domodedovo shows the airport lacked security. It's unbelievable that such a huge amount of explosives were brought into the terminal. Those officials responsible for security at Domodedovo must be punished for their decisions. This is a terror attack, a grief, a tragedy,” he said.
