kaboom!inside - killing 11 people and injuring 50. Police in Russia now believe a jacket wallah, who has close links to radical Islamists, was behind the attack. He was described as being a 22-year-old from Kazakhstan and CCTV images of the suspect have been released. One image shows a man in a red Parka jacket, wearing glasses and a dark green beanie hat and carrying a rucksack on his back. Another CCTV image shows the suspected suicide bomber walking along the street with both his fists clenched. Despite initially issuing search warrants for two suspected terrorists, authorities believe the suspected suicide bomber was behind the attack and also have intelligence to suggest he planted a second bomb - disguised as a fire extinguisher - which was found and defused at a nearby station. Nobody has grabbed credit for the kaboom, but previous attacks on Russia have been blamed on ISIS and Chechens. Dozens have been injured, including at least three children, as it was reported the man left a briefcase on a train before moving carriages moments before the deadly blast. Earlier several Russian media outlets released the CCTV pictures of the bearded suspect, who was wearing a long, black top and a hat, blamed for causing the carnage. But it has emerged that the bearded man who was identified on CCTV as the main suspect, handed himself in to police and insists he is innocent. Detectives are putting the man through a lie detector test. | |
