| 2011-02-09 |
| Russian authorities have arrested three people in the Moscow airport suicide bombing that killed 36 people. The bomber was identified as 20-year-old Magomed Yevloyev from Ingushetia but officials announced they had arrested his brother and sister on suspicion of helping him plan the suicide strike. His siblings were identified as 16-year-old Akhmed and Fatima, whose age was given by various news agencies as either 12 or 22. Also arrested was another 23-year-old alleged accomplice from the same village of Ali-Yurt. Police said this third person and the younger brother helped Magomed Yevloyev put together the bomb that went off at Domodedovo airport on January 24. "They had traces of the explosive on them," an investigator told ITAR-TASS. "His relatives helped him prepare the explosive device and knew about his plans." Doku Umarov has claimed credit for the attack, but Moscow officials have not commented on the claim and the rebel leader's name has not been mentioned on any state-controlled television stations. |

| #1 It doesn't matter if those kids helped the bomber or not. The message is: if you think it's just you committing suicide, think again. Everybody in your family will die. |
