Death in Domodedovo

A BOMB has exploded at Moscow's Domodedovo airport, killing at least 35 people and injuring 130. Details are sketchy, but early indications are that a suicide bomber detonated a device inside the airport's international arrivals hall.

Domodedovo is Moscow's busiest airport, and Monday afternoon is a popular time for international arrivals, our Moscow correspondent reports. The arrivals hall is likely to have been full of people at the time of the explosion.

Following the blast, President Dmitry Medvedev called an emergency meeting of officials, and said those responsible for the bombing would be tracked down.

There have been no claims of responsibility yet. But the finger of blame is initially likely to point to militants from Russia's restive North Caucasus. Last March two female suicide bombers from the region killed 40 people on the Moscow metro.

A fuller analysis will follow.
