Georgia could be behind January's deadly terrorist attack on the Domodedovo airport in Moscow, said Alexander Torshin, a senator and a member of the National Antiterrorism Committee.
"I'm convinced that the attack was organized from abroad. I understand that my words may cause anger and misunderstanding, but, in my opinion, it was Georgia and its regime," he told the government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta.
He also said that those who perpetrated the attack in Domodedovo and last year's blast at a market in the North Ossetian capital of Vladikavkaz were not suicide bombers.
"I'm convinced they were blown up from a distance," he said.
The powerful blast that ripped through the international arrivals hall of Russia's largest airport on January 24 killed 36 people and injured over 100.
DNA tests revealed that Magomed Yevloyev, a 20-year-old resident of the impoverished southern Russian region of Ingushetia, was the attacker. His brother and sister were arrested after detectives found traces of explosives on their hands.
