RUSSIAN authorities named a -suspected suicide bomber of Moscow's airport and arrested his teenage brother and sister, an official said yesterday.
The January 24 bombing of Domodedovo airport was conducted by the 20-year-old Magomed Yevloyev, said an official working with Russia's top investigative agency in the province of Ingushetia.
Officials previously said that the bomber was a 20-year-old man from the Caucasus, but didn't name him.
Chechen rebel warlord Doku -Umarov has claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 36 and injured more than 180.
A court in Ingushetia's provincial capital, Magas, also ordered the arrest of Yevloyev's 15-year-old brother and the 16-year-old sister, suspected of involvement in the attack. They also arrested another resident of Yevloyev's home village of Ali-Yurt on the same charges.
The ITAR-Tass news agency reported yesterday that the investigators had found traces of explosives used in the airport bombing on the hands of Yevloyev's arrested brother.
Umarov said in a statement posted on Monday that he ordered the airport bombing and that many more such attacks will follow if Russia does not allow the Caucasus to become an independent Islamic state governed by Sharia law.
In another video released over the weekend Umarov appeared with a young man whom he said was being sent to Moscow on a suicide mission.
