Russian Airport Bombing

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has sacked several officials after blaming the Domodedovo airport bombing on poor security.

He said those who did not work properly should be punished.

Moscow is holding a day of mourning for the victims of Monday's apparent suicide attack in which 35 people died.

TV channels and radio stations suspended entertainment programmes, while mourning services are being held in the capital's churches.

Russia's emergency ministry has now published a preliminary list of all those who died. Another 116 people were wounded in the blast.

In comments carried on Russian television on Wednesday, Mr Medvedev said: "All the officials responsible for organising the process must be brought to their senses."
