<p>A suicide bomber has killed more than 30 people and injured scores more at Moscow&#8217;s busiest airport.</p>
<p>The city immediately went on high terrorist alert and stepped up patrols on the Metro underground system, a previous terrorist target, after the blast at Domodedovo Airport.</p>
<p>Thousands of people were in the terminal at the time of the blast, which happened in the international arrivals hall.</p>
<p>Mark Green, a British Airways passenger who had just arrived at the airport, told the BBC he heard the huge explosion as he was leaving the terminal.</p>
<p>&#8220;Literally, it shook you,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As we were putting the bags in the car a lot of alarms&#8230; were going off and people started flowing out of the terminal, some of whom were covered in blood.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One gentleman had a pair of jeans on that was ripped and his thigh from his groin to his knee was covered in blood,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Domodedovo is generally regarded the most up-to-date of Moscow&#8217;s three commercial airports, but its security procedures have been questioned. Built in 1964, the airport is 26 miles south-east of the centre of Moscow and handled over 22 million travellers last year.</p>
<p>In 2004 two suicide bombers were able to board planes at Domodedovo by buying tickets illegally from airport personnel. The bombers blew themselves up in mid-air, killing all 90 people aboard the two flights.</p>
<p>Terrorists have targeted other transportation centres in Moscow. In more recent suicide bombings, twin blasts in the Metro last March killed 39 people and wounded more than 60 people.</p>
<p>President Dmitry Medvedev later said: &#8220;from the preliminary information we have it was a terror attack.&#8221;</p>
