Teen metro bomber was taking revenge for husband

RUSSIA has identified a 17-year-old widow of a Caucasus militant as one of the Moscow suicide bombers, while the country remained on high alert after the attacks.

Citing sources close to the investigation, the Kommersant daily named one of the two female suicide bombers who blew themselves up on the Moscow metro last Monday as Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova, 17, from Dagestan in the North Caucasus.

The newspaper published a photograph of the teenager in an Islamic headscarf with her late husband Umalat Magomedov posing casually with pistols.
