Suicide Bombing In Moscow Airport

Quote:
Two Brits killed in the suicide bombing at a Russian airport that claimed 35 lives yesterday have been named.
Both Gordon Cousland and Kirill Budrashov died in the explosion at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport.

Mr Cousland, 39, worked for CACI, a marketing, data analysis and IT company.


His brother Robin, from Sleaford, Lincs, said he had been due to get married in April and had a six-month-old daughter.

He added he had been the youngest of five children and was born in Sleaford but the rest of the family was from Scotland.

Robin said: "He was going to Russia yesterday and we heard a blast reported on the radio and thought 'Oh no, he could be involved'.

"We tried to phone his mobile phone and could not get an answer. Normally when he visits a place he is pretty good at phoning to say he has arrived. As the evening went on, we heard nothing from him and began to fear the worst.

"Late last night we passed information to the Foreign Office as we thought he was missing and his company were doing the same thing and they couldn't contact him.

"We received word last night about it."

Today authorities revealed they believed the attack was carried out by a female suicide bomber from Russia's predominantly Muslim North Caucasus.

An unnamed security official has said the explosion happened the moment she opened a bag she had been carrying.

He said: "The terrorist was accompanied by a man. He was standing beside her and (the blast) tore off his head.
"This act of terror followed the classic scheme used by terrorists who come from the North Caucasus."

Witnesses yesterday described how they had heard someone yell: "I'll kill you all" before the blast in the arrivals hall.

The bomb was packed with screws and ball bearings to cause maximum carnage among passengers and waiting friends and relatives.

It went off with the power of 7kg of TNT, sending a wave of metal shards across the airport.

British Airways flight 872 from London's Heathrow, with 165 aboard, arrived 46 minutes earlier sparking fears more Brits are among the 180 injured. British Midland passengers on another flight from London landed three minutes before the blast and escaped unharmed.

The suicide bomber struck next to the arrivals section and the crowded Asia Cafe just outside the baggage reclaim area.



Horrifying footage filmed by bystanders showed smoke and flames engulfing the spot at Russia's premier airport in the immediate aftermath of the blast.

Other video showed piles of mutilated bodies. An hysterical policeman covered in blood emerged from the carnage gasping: "I survived... all the others were killed."

Later CCTV footage showed travellers thrown back by the force of the device trying to run away.

Witness Frank Osterdijh said: "I saw people die on the floor. I saw people lying on trolleys. A lot of people were wounded."

Police sources later said the severed head of the suicide bomber's accomplice had been found.

An officer revealed: "We found the head of a man of Arab appearance, aged 30 to 35." Survivors who staggered from the bloodied terminal told how they saw innocent passengers and bystanders cut to pieces.

Car rental agent Alexey Spiridonov, 25, watched as the bomber exploded after shouting "I will kill you all". He said: "I was thrown at the wall, we were hit hard. We were only saved by the fact that a lot of people were around us.

"We tried to help the wounded. Body parts lay around, there was blood everywhere. It was awful."
Artyom Zhilenkov said: "He exploded in front of me. A man in a black coat, black hat - he exploded to pieces."

Another survivor said: "I was saved by a human shield who perished."

Brit Mark Green, on the BA flight, said: "As we put bags in the car people flowed out of the terminal, covered in blood. Then injured people were running out." Witness 'Ben' said: "We saw baggage trolleys used to ferry the wounded and dead. Maids followed them cleaning up blood with mops."

Ilya Likhtenfeld, who has a business at the airport, tweeted: "All wounded people have been taken away. There is a pile of dead bodies. My colleague Sergey carried a German man, he died in his hands."

A Washington-based group which monitors terror groups, claimed an Islamic organisation called the Caucasus Emirate was poised to take responsibility for the atrocity.

A website linked to al-Qaeda used the word "martyrdom" and said: "You disbelievers are the firewood of Hell. You will enter it."

Sources confirmed Russia's FSB security service received intelligence about a terrorist atrocity, but failed to catch the bomber in time.

The source said: "Agents were seeking three suspects but they managed to access the airport, witness the explosion, which their accomplice carried out, and leave."

Last night security was tightened at other airports in Moscow and on the city's metro system, hit by terrorist attacks killing 40 last year.

PM David Cameron offered "complete support" in a call to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Great story, Kel. This has left me numb. The part about the family waiting and calling to hear from that one victim was heartbreaking.
