Rebels behind Moscow blast

A WEBSITE affiliated with Chechen rebels has released a video in which insurgent leader Doku Umarov claims responsibility for last month’s deadly suicide bombing at Russia’s largest airport and threatens more bloodshed if Russia does not leave the region.

The Kavkaz Centre website said it received the video late on Monday.

The January 24 attack at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport killed 36 people.

Russian investigators said the bomber was a 20-year-old man from the Caucasus region that includes Chechnya, but have not released his name or other details.

Umarov also threatened more attacks, saying 2011 would be “the year of blood and tears”.

Chechen rebels have fought two full-scale wars against Russian forces since 1994.
