35 Dead In Moscow Airport Bomb

35 people were killed yesterday including two Brits after a suicide bomber walked into Moscow’s busiest airport Domodedovo and detonated a bomb thought to be hidden in a suitcase with the equivalent power of 7kg of TNT.

The bomber originally thought to be male is now widely being reported as a female suicide bomber. A further 168 people were injured as a result of the terror attack, the bomb is thought to have been detonated at 4.32pm local time 45 minutes after British airways flight 872 had landed and just seconds after a BMI plane had touched down. A BA plane bound for Moscow was returned to Heathrow after being half way to its destination.

An investigation is now underway, with endless CCTV being monitored and claims are being made that warnings of bombings had been made a week ago and police were tracking three men. However recent reports are focusing on a female bomber.
