Teenage widow behind Moscow blast




The 17-year-old widow of a North Caucasus fighter has been confirmed by Russian security officials as one of the suicide bombers who attacked the Moscow metro system on Monday.

The blasts at quick succession at two stations during morning rush hour killed 39 people and injured more than 70.

"One of the female suicide bombers, who blew herself up at the Park Kultury metro station, was Dzhanet Abdullayeva," said a statement from the National anti-terror committee, carried by Russian news agencies.

The committe comprises chiefs of top ministries and state bodies.

"She was born in 1992 and lived in the Khasavyurtsky region of Dagestan," the official said.

"The material has been sent to the investigative committee of Russian prosecutors."

Apartment identified

Neave Barker, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Moscow, said: "Police said that they had identified an apartment building that had been rented out by two suspected accomplices of the female suicide bombers

"They say these two men may have accompanied the woman to a metro station in the southwest of the city where they handed them the bomb belts.

"The men are then believed to have gone back to the apartment building, as the female suicide bombers went on to their final destination.

"It was the men in the apartment building, at a distance, that then detonated the explosives by remote [control].

"The investigators say they found traces of explosives, some traces of preparation, within the apartment building.

"These men are known to them and they have been put on a wanted list."

'Black Widow'



Abdullayeva had been married to Umalat Magomedov, a high-ranking Dagestani anti-government fighter, who was killed by Russian security forces last year.

Russian media has described Abdullayeva as a "Black Widow", the name given to suicide bombers whose partners have been killed by Russian forces in areas such as Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia.

Photographs published on Friday showed Abdullayeva posing in an Islamic headscarf and holding a gun, sitting next to Magomedov.

Magomedov was killed in an operation on December 31 and was suspected of being close to Doku Umarov, the separatist leader who has claimed responsibility for the Moscow attacks.

The Russian newspaper Kommersant said that Abdullayeva was from the village of Kostek in western Dagestan and that she had met Magomedov when she was 16 after making contact through the internet.

Reports said she had been identified as the bomber after officials compared the photograph with the severed head found at the Park Kultury metro station.

Monday's twin explosions - first at the Lubyanka metro station and the second at the Park Kultury station in the southwest of the city - have been blamed by the authorities on fighters from the North Caucasus.

Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, has vowed to hunt down and annihilate those behind the attacks.

That is a new one.....According to Russian investigators the two black widows didn't activate their vest themselves, it was remotely detonated by two male accomplices from the hotel. I wonder if they also kept in communication with the women to direct them to best location or change targets. That is cold

Russia has become a nothing under Putin and his criminal cronies. It has become a place of no cultural importance, with a population of sheep, no innovative industries (except criminal ones), no literature, no intellectual freedom and no desire to even have such freedom, only a raw wealth and crude power for a select few and the promise of a crass, mindless, bread-and-circuses-type consumerism for the masses, mostly gained from the short-term exploitation of natural resources.

You know what they say... if you can't beat them, join them. Putin has used Capitalistic economics of western governments and successfully kept the greedy hands of NGO's out of the cookie jar. He is what an effective government is all about.

Those symptoms appear in all oil producing states. It is a product of economic form vs anything Putin has done. Putin has done great things for his people and country which were on the edge when he took over. I only wish we had a direct border with Russia but...

when the pxssy, bell the cat, gets bored it likes to come to xxxxxxxx and make idiotic posts then again leaves for some time.

I guess he also supports the events of 9/11 as well since many of those people had voted for bush jr. and/or clinton before him, so obviously they got what they deserved...

Whereas you are like a bad stink that never goes away and never varies in its smelly awfulness.

The current conflict in Chechnia and its overspilling into other regions isn't about czarist wars of expansion in the Caucasus, or Stalinist deportations.
Putin wasn't president of the USSR, and isn't prime minister of the USSR, and the Russian fascistic nationalists (it sometimes seems there is no other sort of Russian these days) that voted for him (or his puppet Medvedev) were not citizens of the USSR. If Muscovites (or Londoners, or New Yorkers) knowingly vote for a continuation of a conflict, and want to live in a society that condones the abuses that their government and armed forces commits, then they have to live with the consequences - they are no longer innocent victims.

Chechens...Islamic fundamentalists. Same people which helped Azeris during Karabakh war but failed. Looks like Russia didn't do its job well enough during the wars.

That sort of poodling to Russia does Armenia no favours.

You have written the intellectual equivalent of "Armenians ... cowardly treacherous backstabbers. Same people who helped the Russian Imperialists during their wars of conquest. Looks like the Turks didn't do their job well enough during the First World War".

You shouldn't confuse Russia with the U.S.S.R.
