Who stands behind Domodedovo tragedy? – Russian media

Russia continues mourning over the January 24 tragedy at Moscow's Domodedovo airport that claimed the lives of 35 people and left 200 injured.

The Russian capital and the second largest city of St Petersburg are observing a day of mourning on Wednesday.

Flags will be at half mast across Moscow and the surrounding region and TV companies have been advised by the mayor’s office to cancel all entertainment programs as a sign of respect, RIA Novosti reported.

The police have established a stricter control at the airports and stations of the capital.

As the Russian TV channel RBK reported, world leaders have expressed willingness to assist Russia in combating terrorism.

A day after the terrorist act, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation made no report on the possible motives. The media, however, attribute the blast to south Caucasian terrorist groups.

A source of the Russian intelligence services told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper that the so-called Caucasian imamate could have been involved in the incident. It said there's too much coincidence between the March 2010 Moscow metro blast and the recent terrorist act.

The suicide bomber at Domodedovo airport has not yet been identified. Experts infer from his skull structure that he was a representative of a south europeoid race (French, Italian or Arab).

Komsomolskaya Pravda rules out the possibility that the bomber is a Caucasus native.
