MOSCOW – The Russian Federal Security Service has collected information not only about the culprit who executed the terrorist act at Domodedovo, but also about those who organized the terrorist act, FSB Chief Alexander Bortnikov told President Medvedev on Thursday, ITAR-TASS reported.

"We presumably know the organizer," Bortnikov said. He assured the president that FSB has been taking all the necessary measures to detain all those involved and solve the crime in the shortest possible time.

A search for the accomplices who collaborated with the suicide bomber had been declared, Bortnikov said. We detained several people who have some information about those who masterminded the blast, he said.

A team of investigators re-creates the chronology of the conduct of the suicide bomber and his accomplices on the way from Russia's south to Moscow. "We screen all those connected to the delivery of the suicide and the bomb to Domodedovo airport," Bortnikov said.

The culprit who staged a blast at Domodedovo was checked for involvement in other terrorist acts staged, above all, in the North Caucasus, the FSB chief said.

Bortnikov confirmed that FSB had established the identity of the suicide bomber. He was aged twenty and lived in one of the republics in the North Caucasus. Last August he joined one of the criminal gangs based in a place difficult to reach, Bortnikov said.

The terrorist's body fragments had much drugs components and psychotropic substances, Bortnikov said, adding that shows what methods the bandits used.

President Medvedev asked to continue the investigation and put every evidence on the record.
