Follow CNN's coverage of the terrorist attack at the Moscow airport
[Updated at 11:18 a.m.] Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in a television address that the Monday bombing at a Moscow airport was a terrorist attack.
He further said that he postponed his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, because of the bombing.
NATO condemned the attack and urged greater cooperation in the fight against terrorism. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said British officials are "in urgent contact with Russian authorities to establish the facts and to provide consular support to any British nationals who may have been affected."
[Updated at 10:51 a.m.] Footage from inside Moscow's Domodedovo Airport showed several police in a smoke-filled section of the airport.
There were several bodies lying on the floor, and video from another part of the airport showed paramedics rushing by with people on stretchers.
[Updated at 10:38 a.m.] A suicide bomber was responsible for the blast at Moscow's Domodedovo Aiport on Monday, Russian state TV reported.
The station said the handmade bomb was stuffed with metal objects to increase shrapnel from the explosion.
The state-run ITAR-TASS news agency said the explosion occurred at the international arrivals section of the airport. Another state media outlet earlier said it happened at a baggage claim area.

[Updated at 10:06 a.m.] Flights destined for Moscow's Domodedovo Airport are being redirected to other airports in Moscow, either Sheremetyevo or Vnukovo, according to Russian TV.
Domodedovo is located about 14 miles southeast of Moscow, and the airport's website says it's the largest and busiest of the airports in the capital.
[Updated at 10:04 a.m.] State TV is reporting that the blast at a Moscow airport erupted at the baggage claim area, killing 31 people.
The Health Ministry provided the media outlet with the death toll, it said.
CNN is seeking details on the Russian Investigative Committee report that terrorists are responsible for the explosion.

Russia's Investigative Committee confirmed the blast, saying 20 people were affected, although the extent of their injuries was unclear.

muslims for centuries have been polluting the minds of their people and for what to raise a child thinking it ok to kill inocent people over some stupid book!!
What?
I can't believe so many of you are making jokes about this or demonizing people so easily. Bush, Obama, hell, even Fox News, who cares? None of them have anything to do with this and 31 innocent people just died, for what? Some stupid message that a radical terrorist group is trying to get out? Each of these 31 people had families, friends, colleagues that cared about them. Don't take this kind of thing so lightly, haven't we all learned anything yet? And for the record, I'm an American, not all of us take matters such as these with such a grain of salt.
in all airports in the world, baggage clain area is within the secured zone, so passengers pick up their baggages before meeting anybody, they should be applied to the domestic terminals as well.
The lack of christian values promoted by the godless people like Obama amd Putin led to this tragedy.
Those who do not embrace our God should be placed in reeducation camps.
what is "our God"? did someone establish a god for this country? as a "true american" you should know that there is a freedom of religion in this country
All i have to say is religion we be the death of us all. We as a whole need to wake up and realize that most of the worlds religions come from the same based. The extremists of all the religions don't care about that though, they only care about them selfs. In the end i think religion is important but we shouldn't let it be the death of us all. We need to respect everyone's own believes. We need to stop arguing who's religion is the right one because they are all right in the end.
Thats what Russia gets for invading another country the chechens don't wanna be ruled by Russia
they did not invade Chechnya, it is a part of Russian Federation, do not speak of things that you have no knowledge of...
Guess someone did not agree to the baggage fee!!! and tune in later in the after noon as the TSA announces new security protocols every will have to travel naked ahh yes to make sure that we are all safe you will also need to get scanned before you drop off you baggage at your local baggage claim.

the religion of peace strikes again; read your history... this has nothing to do with the US involvement in Afghanistan. muslims were fighting the Russians long before 911, Afghanistan or Iraq... Americans cannot grasp the idea that we have been at war (a true world war) with islam since 1979.
its sad what happen and you guys are pathetic
Russia has to get serious about Iran and its sponsorship of terrorism and its covert funding of groups that create instability in other countries.
No matter how much Russia helps Iran, they still can't keep the terrorists away.
The bomb was blown up by terrorists! I condole with all relatives to victims! It not important Moslems they were or not. Important that in Russia again innocent a victim, them not 30 persons, and almost 100! Those who has organized and has paid should be found and destroyed! And people should unite and hang together! When on September, 11th blew up America, Russian people bore flowers in Moscow to the American embassy, they were solidary. ðŸ™
Agreed, Pavel. If I had an embassy nearby I'd take flowers there to show our sympathy. We should join together against terrorist acts such as this, no matter what country or past differences we may have had.
