   At least 35 people have been killed and left another 130 wounded by a suicide bomber whom set off an explosion in Russia’s largest airport. The number of those injured is expected to rise. The terminal at Domodedovo airport was smoke-filled and splattered with blood and flesh while corpses were stretched after the blast.

   It was believed that the bomb was filled with nuts and bolts as shrapnel, screws and ball bearings flew everywhere after the explosion.

  Nobody has claimed responsibility for the explosion, but the assumption is that it is the work of Islamist fundamentalists, related to Russia’s troubled north Caucasus. Chechen militants have claimed responsibility for the previous terror attacks in Moscow, involving two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on the Moscow metro, killing 40 people. The state Ria Novosti agency said up to 10 people from the volatile Caucasus region are being viewed as possible suspects.

   The identity of the suicide bomber remained a mystery as some reports says that it was a female but a picture of a severed male head that was published in the Lifenews.ru website, was suspected to be the bomber.

   Questions have been raised regarding the security concerns as Russia is due to host the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the World Cup in 2018. However, President Dmitry Medvedev promised that security would be boosted.
