Computer teacher was second Moscow bomber
Moscow: A 28-year-old computer science teacher has been identified by her family as the second of two female suicide bombers who killed dozens of people on the Moscow metro a week ago, a Russian newspaper reported on Sunday.
Rasul Magomedov recognised his missing daughter Maryam after being shown photos of the remains of the unidentified suicide bomber, the novayagazeta.ru website said. More than 50 people have been killed in suicide attacks in Russia over the past week, both in the Moscow metro by bombers media have dubbed 'black widows', and in a town in the turbulent North Caucasus region of Dagestan.
"My wife and I immediately recognised our daughter Maryam. When my wife last saw our daughter she was wearing the same red scarf we saw in the pictures," Magomedov, a teacher from the village of Balakhany in Dagestan told Novaya Gazeta. Magomedov said his daughter graduated with a degree in mathematics and psychology from the Dagestan Pedagogical University in 2005. She returned to her village, lived at home and taught computer science at a local school.
"I would really like the investigation to uncover the true picture of what happened. We cannot even suggest how Maryam could get to Moscow. Yes, she was religious. But she never expressed any radical beliefs," he said.
Magomedov said his daughter had denied to him local security force allegations that she had links to insurgents in the region or had married a local separatist leader.
The family came under the scrutiny of the security forces two years ago, when a brother of Maryam was charged of belonging to an armed group and allegedly tortured in custody before charges were dropped.
The first bomb, which Magomedov believes was carried by his daughter, tore through a packed Moscow metro train just before 8 am on Monday as it stood at the Lubyanka station, close to the headquarters of the FSB. It killed at least 23 people.
Maryam was a calm and confident person who loved to learn. No one ever noticed any extremist expression or inappropriate conduct by her, a person close to her family said.
Photographs of the second suicide bomber Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova, had been released on Friday.

Russia confirms bomber as wife of Pak trained terrorist leader
PTI, Apr 6, 2010, 07.53pm IST
MOSCOW: The 28-year old IT teacher Maryam Sharipova, one of the two suicide bombers who blew herself up at a Moscow Metro station was the wife of terrorist leader Magomedali Vagapov from the restive Daghestan region trained in Pakistan, Russia's top anti-terror agency said today.
"According to information we have, she was wife of the Magomedali Vagapov, whose gang was active in Daghestan," the operational staff of National Anti-terrorism Centre (NAC) said. Vagapov was trained in Pakistan, it added.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had pointed a finger at Pakistan saying Moscow metro attack could be traced back to its territory.
The modest IT teacher in her village school was identified as the second suicide bomber responsible for the attack on Lubyanka metro station in Moscow on March 29.
Russian investigators had earlier identified the other bomber as Dzhanet Abdurakhmanova, the 17-year-old widow of a Muslim militant slain by government forces.
Earlier yesterday the "Novoya Gazeta" had published an interview with Daghestani, who had recognised his daughter by photo of her head sent by someone on his mobile phone.
Maryam was born in 1982 in Balakhan, a village in the Untsukul region of Dagestan. Her parents were both teachers at the local school. She studied Math and Psychology and graduated with distinction in 2005, before returning to Balakhan to teach computer science at the local school.
"We still can't believe it. We can't even work out what she was doing in Moscow," said Magomedov.
"She was devout, but she never expressed any radical opinions. She always lived at home; we always knew what she was up to."
On March 4, the Russian security services informed Magomedov that his daughter was married to the terrorist leader Magomedali Vagabov.
"I asked my daughter if it was true but she said she didn't have any connections with the underground resistance and would never marry without my consent," her father had told Novaya Gazeta'.
The family was already under police observation in connection with one of Mariyam's brothers.In May 2008, Ilyas Sharipov was arrested on suspicion of possessing grenades, then later for abduction and illegally producing arms.
The two March 29 bombings killed 40 people and wounded 121 during the morning rush hour. Deputy Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies Vyacheslav Belokrenitsky told Nezavisimaya Gazeta that the leadership of radical religious underground groups was located in the mountain regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Muslim scholars denounce Islamist bombs in Russia
DUBAI, (Reuters) - Muslim scholars from a dozen countries on Thursday condemned suicide bombings by Islamist rebels in Moscow and Dagestan as "criminal terrorist attacks" that violated their faith.
The 24 scholars, including five prominent muftis from Russia, also spoke out against recent violence in Iraq and expressed their condolences to victims and their families.
The Russian bombings killed at least 50 people and injured another 100 in less than three days, stirring fears of a major bombing campaign by Islamist insurgents.
"Islam absolutely upholds the sanctity of human life and no grievances, even when legitimate, can ever be used to justify or legitimate such murderous and evil acts," said a statement by the scholars issued in Dubai.
Chechen rebels claimed responsibility on Wednesday for two suicide bombings that killed 39 people in the Moscow metro and threatened further attacks in the Russian heartland.
Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov said in a video posted on Islamist rebel website KAVKAZ CENTER that he ordered the Moscow attacks in revenge for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's policies in the mainly-Muslim North Caucasus.
The video was posted just hours after two suicide bombers killed at least 12 people in the North Caucasus region Dagestan.
The statement by the mainstream muftis, theologians and Islamic officials reflects a trend among them to try to express what they say is widespread rejection among Muslims around the world of violence by militants claiming to act in Islam's name.
Among the signatories were the grand muftis (top Islamic jurists) of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Bosnia and the head of the Russian Mufti Council.
The scholars represented major schools of Islam and came from India, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. The declaration was issued by an Islamic think tank, Kalam Research and Media, in Dubai.
In a separate statement, the Libya-based World Islamic Call Society, which unites 250 Muslim organisations around the globe, also condemned "the recent vicious terrorist attacks perpetrated against innocent fellow human beings in Moscow and Dagestan. "Islamic principles and ethics are absolutely against such evil," Secretary-General Muhammad Ahmed Sharif said.
