<p>Investigators probing the deadly bombing at a Moscow airport are looking at up to 10 people from the Caucasus region as possible suspects.</p>
<p>Suspicions in the blast at Domodedovo Airport on Monday that killed 35 people and wounded 180 initially fell on Chechen rebels.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, perhaps sensitive about his failure to contain Chechnya&#8217;s Islamist rebellion, has insisted there was no initial indication of a Chechen connection.</p>
<p>However, Chechen rebels have inspired Islamist insurgent activity elsewhere in the Caucasus and the state RIA Novosti agency said up to 10 people from there are being viewed as possible suspects.</p>
<p>The Kommersant newspaper reported that police are focusing on an insurgent group called the Nogai Brigade, which reportedly observes the strict Wahhabi form of Islam.</p>
<p>The group emerged in the Stavropol region and sided with Chechen separatist groups.</p>
<p>Kommersant, citing a source close to the bombing probe, said an ethnic Russian member of the group was of particular interest to investigators. The man is believed to be connected to a woman arrested in January for allegedly planning a suicide bombing in Moscow.</p>
<p>That arrest followed a New Year&#8217;s Eve explosion on the outskirts of Moscow that killed one woman. The victim was believed to be preparing a bomb to attack a holiday gathering but it was inadvertently triggered early when the mobile phone provider sent a holiday greetings text message.</p>
<p>Authorities have said little about the airport bombing investigation. No consistent account of what happened has emerged, with reports variously saying it was a male or female suicide bomber, or a couple, or a bomb that was to be remotely detonated but exploded prematurely.</p>
<p>More high-ranking Russian transport officials have been fired in the wake of the bombing, including the head of air transport security for the western Russia region that includes Moscow.</p>
