<p>A suicide bomber has killed 35 people and injured more than 140 others when he blew himself up in a packed terminal at Moscow&#8217;s busiest airport.</p>
<p>The city was immediately put on a terror attack alert with extra police patrolling transport and other likely targets.</p>
<p>&#8220;From the preliminary information we have, it was a terror attack,&#8221; President Dmitry Medvedev said, saying it was clear that security had failed.</p>
<p>It is not the first time Domodedovo airport&#8217;s security has been breached. In 2004 two suicide bombers were able to board planes by buying tickets illegally from airport staff. The women blew themselves up in mid-air, killing all 90 people on the two flights.</p>
<p>Monday&#8217;s blast left the arrivals terminal at Domodedovo engulfed in smoke, while amateur video posted on YouTube showed a pile of bodies on the floor, and other bodies scattered around as several small fires burned.</p>
<p>The airport was closed to planes immediately after the blast, but soon reopened.</p>
<p>No-one immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion. Chechen militants have claimed responsibility for previous terror attacks in Moscow, including a double suicide bombing on the underground in March 2010 that killed 40 people and wounded more than 100.</p>
<p>Car rental agent Alexei Spiridonov, 25, was at his desk when the blast struck about 100 yards away.</p>
<p>&#8220;The explosion was so strong that it threw me against the wall,&#8221; he said. &#8220;People were panicking, rushing out of the hall or looking for their relatives. There were people just lying in blood.&#8221;</p>
<p>Built in 1964, Domodedovo is 26 miles south-east of the centre of Moscow and is the largest of the three major airports that serve the Russian capital, carrying more than 22 million people last year.</p>
