Moscow Domodedovo Airport: Suicide Bomber Kills At Least 35 Near International Baggage Claim: Video Shows Aftermath
Over 130 have been injured and at least 35 killed in a terror attack at Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport (DME). According to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in a lounge area near the international baggage claim. The aftermath of the suicide bombing was caught on video.
The Moscow airport terror attack will most likely be blamed on Islamist radicals from the North Caucasus region, as was last year's terror attack on the Moscow Metro.
Domodedovo is Russia's busiest airport.
Meanwhile, police have stepped up security across Moscow.
An eyewitness who gave his name as Yuri said the blast was intense and sent 200 people scrambling for safety.
“There were many people; if I were two meters to the side I would have been badly hurt,” he told the news channel Pervy Kanal. “There was a bang, and all I remember is that the shock wave pushed me to the floor. My hat flew away, and I put my jacket over my head. Five seconds later, when the smoke cleared, I saw people running out.”

This incident only increases the intensity of hate for terrorists and the urgency to destroy the root of terrorism.
