Accomplice of Moscow Metro blasts identified

The investigation has put on the international wanted list the only surviving accomplice in terrorist attacks in the Moscow Metro underground railway service, staged a year ago at the Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations, spokesman of the Investigative Committee (SK) of the Russian Federation Vladimir Markin told ITAR-TASS.

“The perpetrator of the terrorist acts is Gusen Magomedov, 22, a native of Dagestan. According to investigators, it was he who accompanied the female suicide bombers (Mariam) Sharipova and (Janet) Abdullayeva from Kizlyar to Moscow, and also managed their actions on the day of the attacks,” Markin said.

The 2010 Moscow Metro explosions were suicide bombings carried out by two women during the morning rush hour of March 29, 2010, at two stations of the Moscow Metro (Lubyanka and Park Kultury), with roughly 40 minutes interval between. At least 40 people were killed, and over 100 injured.
