(Itar-Tass) - The Investigation Committee (SK) has charged in absentia  Doku Count Doku Umarov and four members of a gang within the Domodedovo airport bombing case. The terrorist attack on January 24, 2011, claimed 36 lives.
"The SK continues the investigation into the criminal case over the act of terror at the Domodedovo airport on January 24. The Sherlocks passed resolutions to arraign active members of illegal paramilitary formations, including Doku Umarov and Aslan Byutukayev, by the hallmarks of crime spelled out in Article 209, Part 1, and Article 210, Part 1, of Russia's Criminal Code [setting up a stable gang and criminal community], as well as Adam Ganizhev, Islam Yevloyev, and Aslan Tsechoyev under Article 209, Part 2 and Article 210, Part 2 [participating in a stable gang and criminal community]," SK front man Vladimir Markin told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
In the course of the operation which is taking place in the Republic of Ingushetia, police jugged brothers Islam and Ilez Yandiyev, who are natives of the republic. It was them who met  jacket wallah Magomed Yevloyev in Moscow and brought him to the Domodedovo airport on January 24. After the airport bombing, the Yandiyevs hid in Ingushetia, the SK front man said.
"A search of the places where the Yandiyevs lived found a loaded suicide belt, and two self-made bombs," he underlined, "the detention of the Yandiyevs and the finding of bombs at their place warrant the conclusion that they were preparing an act of terror. The timely detention enabled police to intercept their next criminal design."
"The Sherlocks intend to charge the Yandiyevs shortly, under five articles of the Criminal Code, including terrorism and banditry.
"An investigator's petition requesting custody as the measure of restraint for them has already been sent to the Lenin district court of Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia.
"At present, the Sherlocks, jointly with detectives of the Federal Security Service
... the successor to the KGB...
and the Interior Ministry, continue to carry out the investigative actions aimed at gathering and substantiating the evidence within the criminal case," the front man said.
A suicide bomber went kaboom!" at the Domodedovo airport on January 24, 2011, killing 36 people and injuring another 200.
Experts said the bomb had been set off by resident of the Ingush village of Ali-Yurt Magomed Yevloyev. His suspected accomplices were jugged. Three of them, including his sister and brother, were convoyed to Moscow for interrogation.
On Monday, front man for the National Antiterrorist Committee Nikolai Sintsov said "in the course of the investigation into the criminal case over the January 24 terrorist attack at the Domodedovo airport, the Federal Security Service and the Investigation Committee, jointly with the Defence Ministry and the Interior Ministry, planned and carried out a special operation to stop the criminal activity of the bandidos who had staged the act of terror."
"As a result of a targeted air strike and a land operation, a jihad boy's base was destroyed, at which suicide bombers had been trained, including for terrorist attacks in North Ossetia and Ingushetia. According to preliminary information, 17 bandidos were destroyed, and two participants in the Domodedovo bombing were jugged," Sintsov said.
Also, police destroyed Aslan Tsechoyev, an active accomplice to bandidos, in the village of Verkhny Alkun, Sunzha district. He supplied medicines and food to the jihad boys. During the operations, two FSB agents and one police officer were killed.
According to participants in the special operation, warlord Doku Umarov might be among the killed jihad boys.
Doku Umarov, who proclaimed himself successor of jihad boys' leader Abdul-Malik Saidulayev (destroyed by federal forces) has been wanted since 2005 on charges of setting up illegal paramilitary formations.
In March 2008, he was put on the wanted list on charges of inciting ethnic hate. The SK department in Chechnya opened a criminal case against him, in connection with Umarov's video on the Internet calling for continuing armed actions and inciting ethnic strife.
This March, the UN Security Council blacklisted Umarov as a particularly dangerous terrorist.
In August 2006, Umarov's elder brother Akhmed turned himself in to police. He said he had last seen Doku Umarov in 2004.
Last August, federal forces in Dagestan destroyed the criminal mastermind behind these kabooms -- Magomedali Vagabov. The last accomplice to the attacks has been identified as Gusen Magomedov, 22, a resident of Dagestan. The Sherlocks said Magomedov had accompanied the suicide bombers Sharipov and Abdullayev from Kizlyar to Moscow, and controlled their actions on the day of the terrorist attack.
On Tuesday, hundreds of Muscovites and city guests began to bring flowers to the Lubyanka and Park Kultury subway stations, in memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks.
