A young computer science student has been identified by her parents from a photograph of one of two suicide bombers who killed 40 people on the Moscow metro, a Russian newspaper reported on Sunday.
The other woman behind the March 29 attacks has already been identified as the 17-year-old widow of an Islamist militant from the troubled Dagestan region in the North Caucasus.
Rassoul Magomedov, whose family is also from Dagestan, recognised his 28-year-old daughter from a photograph published on the internet and sent to him by friends via his mobile phone, the Novaya Gazeta newspaper reported.
"My wife and I immediately recognised our daughter Mariam," he said.
Russian prosecutors confirmed on Friday teenager Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova had blown herself up at the Park Kultury metro station, named after Moscow's iconic Gorky Park.
They said investigators were trying to identify the second woman, who blew herself up at the Lubyanka station just below the headquarters of Russia's FSB security service, the successor to the Soviet KGB.
Magomedov said his wife had seen their daughter for the last time on March 28, the day before the attacks, when she went with her to a market in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan.
Mariam had told her mother she was going to visit a friend before returning home, the father said. The couple had not heard from her again, he said.
In the internet photograph, the young woman has the same red scarf she was wearing when her mother had last seen her, the father said.
Mariam lived with her parents in the village of Balakhani and had since 2006 been studying computer science in Dagestan, he said, adding he had never noticed her express extremist views or show unusual behaviour.
Two days after the attacks in Moscow, two suicide bombings in the town of Kizylar in Dagestan killed 12 people, including nine police.
On Sunday, a bomb blast derailed a goods train in Dagestan without causing casualties.
Militants have stepped up attacks in recent months throughout Russia's Caucasus region, where Islamist fighters have been battling pro-Kremlin local authorities and Russian security forces in a sporadic insurgency.
A second suicide bomber has been identified from the Park Kultury metro station attack in Moscow.
Another suicide bomber ID'd.
"Son of a bitch took my virginity at the age of 8 and forced me for 6 more years ... I'm gonna' kill every phukin' guy I can"
I hope the Russian authorites catch the team of coward Islamist handlers of these two women.
Then some serious rough justice.
Sorry, this is like the parents of the kids at Columbine. "We had no idea our kids were crazed killers." It's YOUR JOB to know everything about your kids. The first warning shot should have been YOU'RE ALL MUSLIMS!!!!!!
This woman was 28.
I'm wondering if she was kidnapped and forced to carry the bomb into position.
You can sadly look at what has happened in fifty years in our world. The Russians will dispatch frontier justice fast and clean, an $0.18 solution to the problem of terror, and bury them wrapped in bacon. Over here, we give foreign terrorists Constitutional rights, try them in civilian courts, and let them have cable TV and wacky prayer time five times a day until enough time passes that the Liberals completely destroy our nation, and the Muslim President lets them out as “political prisoners.”
I’d like to see that done everywhere against Muzzie terrorists, then we’ll have some peace and quiet.
Sad but true.
For some even this news agency has trouble calling them terrorists.
They blow up so early these days!
