A 17 year old baby-faced widow of a Caucasus militant was identified as one of the two 'Black Widows' involved in Monday's twin suicide attack on Moscow.
The twin suicide attacks carried out by two female suicide bombers on Moscow Metro on Monday killed 40 people and injured scores others.
Russian Media have reported that the national anti-terrorist committee has confirmed the identity of Jannat Abdurahmanova (Djennet Abdurakhmanova), the teenage widow of Umalat Magomedov - a militant belonging to Daghestani Jamaat, for carrying out the first suicide attack on Lubyanka Station, in the heart of Moscow.
Jannat's husband - Umalat Magomedov - was killed last year in an operation by Russian security agencies. Several Russian News Papers and Websites have also carried the photograph of the couple playing with pistols.

Investigators are waiting for the DNA tests of the second suspected female bomber, widely believed to be 20-year old Markha Ustarkhanova, widow of Chechen militant Said-Amin Khizirov.
Markha's husband Khizirov was killed last October in a security operation.
The two female suicide bombers had come to Moscow by bus. The bus driver and co-passengers who travelled with them on a 1600-km long journey identified them from their photographs.
