The suicide bomber who killed 35 people at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport was a 20-year-old man from the North Caucasus, Russian investigators say.
The Federal Investigative Committee made the announcement in a statement on its website.
But spokesman Vladimir Markin said the man's name would not be released, while investigations continued.
Some 180 people were injured during Monday's blast at the airport's international arrivals hall.
The investigative committee said that the bombing was aimed "first and foremost" at foreign citizens.
"I would especially like to note that it was by no means an accident that the act of terror was committed in the international arrivals hall," Mr Markin said in the statement.
At least seven foreigners were killed in the bombing at the airport - the busiest serving the Russian capital. The arrivals hall was full of people as several international flights had just landed.
