Explosion rips through Moscow airport

Authorities suspect suicide bombing

Dozens are dead and over 100 are wounded after an explosion at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport. While the exact cause of the explosion has not been established, investigators say they suspect a suicide bomber. The blast occurred in the baggage claim of the arrivals hall, where witnesses say thousands of people were gathered.
