Today, from early morning, Muscovites began bringing flowers to the above metro stations and held commemoration actions there, the "Novaya Gazeta" reports.

Townspeople lit candles in places of the terror acts, and put icons and casualties' photos, the portal "KM.ru" reports.

Another suicide bomber triggered the explosion at "Park Kultury" station; later, she was identified as Djanet Abdulaeva (or Abdurakhmanova, by other sources), 17, a widow of Umalat Magomedov, another leader of Dagestani militants, who was killed in late December 2009.

According to special services, one of the organizers of the terror acts was Gusein Magomedov, who accompanied Sharipova and Abdulaeva from Dagestan to Moscow.
