Russia names second metro suicide bomber

MOSCOW (AFP) - – Russian investigators have identified the second Moscow metro suicide bomber as a woman in her late 20s from the volatile, mainly Muslim province of Dagestan, officials said Tuesday.
"Mariam Sharipova, born in 1982... set off an explosive device at the Lubyanka metro station," the Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement.
The announcement was issued four days after officials confirmed the identity of the other attacker in the March 29 double suicide bombing in the Moscow metro, naming her as 17-year-old Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova.
The dual morning rush hour attacks on the Lubyanka and Park Kultury metro stations, around 40 minutes apart, left 40 people dead and more than 80 injured and marked the deadliest violence in the Russian capital since 2004.
The Investigative Committee said Sharipova was a native of the Dagestani village of Balakhani.
A spokesman for the FSB security service told AFP that Sharipova was the wife of Magomedali Vagapov, an Islamist fighter whose whereabouts are unknown but who is believed to be alive and active.
Rasul Magomedov, also a resident of the Dagestani village of Balakhani, told the opposition daily Novaya Gazeta in an interview published Friday that Sharipova was his daughter. He specified her age as 28.
"My wife and I immediately recognized our daughter" after photographs of the severed heads of the two suicide bombers were published in Russian media, Magomedov told the paper.
Abdurakhmanova, the suicide bomber already identified, was also from Dagestan and the widow of an Islamist militant who officials said had been killed by security forces December 31.
The Islamist group "Emirate of the Caucasus", which is waging an insurgency to impose an Islamic state based on sharia law in Russia's North Caucasus region, claimed responsibility for the metro attacks.
Magomedov told Novaya Gazeta that Sharipova graduated with honours from a local university in 2005 and since 2006 had taught computer science in Dagestan.
Magomedov told another Russian newspaper, mass-circulation Komsomolskaya Pravda, that his family, including Sharipova's two brothers, had been under pressure from the authorities for the past several years.
His elder son, Anvar, was once found abandoned in the woods after having been tortured for hours after he was detained by police, Magomedov told the paper.
His younger son, Ilyas, was detained in a special operation and given a nine-month jail sentence, Komsomolskaya Pravda said.
Russia's leaders have called for tough new measures to fight extremism and a junior member of the Russian legislature told AFP Tuesday he had proposed legislation to tighten restrictions on how media may report on extremism.
"In my opinion, news about militants should be reduced to reports about their annihilation," Robert Shlegel, a member of the State Duma from the pro-Kremlin United Russia party, told AFP.
