St. Petersburg Subway Bombed During Putin Visit
Investigators named a man who blew up a St. Petersburg subway car, killing 14 people in the worst terrorist attack in a major Russian city in years, and said he also planted a bomb found at a second metro station.
The remains of Akbarzhon Dzhalilov, who marked his 22nd birthday on Saturday, were recovered from the scene of Monday’s bombing and matched DNA found on a bag containing the other explosive device that was defused at a nearby station, Russia’s Investigative Committee said Tuesday. “The conclusion from this genetic material and CCTV cameras give investigators reason to believe that the person who committed the terrorist act in the subway car left the bag with the explosive device” at the second station, the committee said in a website statement.
