You're reading: Source: Investigators dismiss ‘commercial’ theory behind Domodedovo attack

Moscow, March 22 (Interfax) - A theory whereby the terrorist attack at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport could have been masterminded by commercial entities with a view to secure spheres of influence is invalid, a law enforcement source told Interfax on March 22.

"The so-called ‘commercial’ theory has been dismissed," he said.

Such a theory "was indeed put forward among others at the initial stage of the investigation," he said.

"However, the commercial theory was discarded after the identification of the suicide bomber and the causal-consecutive links of the crime," the source said.

On March 22 the Vedomosti newspaper said that investigators were also probing a theory whereby the terrorist attack at Domodedovo Airport on January 24, 2011 could have been ordered by commercial entities.
