Anarchy helped the suicide bomber
The "Domodedovo" airport's deficient security system contributed to the terrorist act. This was today's official conclusion.
According to data, there was no surveillance system near the airport entrance and gave the suicide bomber/terrorist the opportunity to enter.
President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has condemned this and has instructed to clean the country's transportation system, bring those involved in ensuring transportation security to justice and instigate cases.
This comes after Medvedev demanded bringing the airport administration to justice as well.
The Investigative Committee leading an investigation into the terrorist act has already confiscated all documents related to the airport's security service and is interrogating all security officials. Three cases have been instigated and the bodies of all victims have been transferred to the Forensic Medicine Bureau in Moscow.
In the meantime, "Domodedovo" airport's administration claims that it had maintained all standards of aviation security. The administration states that it is not responsible for the situation at the entrance because it carries out activities in the zone where there are registered passengers.
"The linear department employees of domestic affairs control security at the hall and work closely with our security officials," said the airport's official representative Sergey Martirosyan.
Who was the suicide bomber?
It is officially announced that there was one suicide bomber-terrorist. He was most probably a 30-40-year old man and looked like a European. His body parts found at the scene of the explosion were totally distorted and his identity can only be revealed after a DNA investigation. Police are also looking for the three females who accompanied the suicide bomber.
