Chechen link ruled out, Russia hunts for jihadi bomber

=================================================
MOSCOW: Russian PM Vladimir Putin has ruled out any links between the restive Caucasus region of Chechnya and the suicide attack at Moscow's international airport that killed 35 people, amid reports that an alleged ethnic Russian militant has been named by police as the prime suspect in the deadly strike.

"The preliminary investigation shows that it is not linked to Chechen Republic," Putin said in his televised remarks. 


His remarks came as Kommersant daily reported an ethnic Russian, allegedly belonging to an extremist group, has been named by police as prime suspect behind Monday's suicide attack at Domodedovo International Airport that claimed 35 lives and left over 180 people injured.

The suspect, whose surname was revealed by police as Razdobudko, is allegedly a member of Nogai Jamaat terrorist group disbanded in October 2010. 



Police say Razdobudko, a resident of Stavropol territory bordering volatile Caucasus region, could be one of the organisers or even a perpetrator of the attack at Domodedovo airport.
