The evening of Monday 24^th of January brought bitter news: New victims of terrorist attacks - now at Domodedovo airport. Innocent people were killed; doctors are fighting for the lives of wounded at hospitals. Nobody was left indifferent due to the tragedy at Domodedovo.

On behalf of the Russian Muftis Council we express deep condolences to the relatives of the dead, mourn the loss of the dead and pray for the preservation of life of injured and victims.

To the perpetrators of this terrorist act - the customers and performers of this act - we want to recall the warning of God in the Quran: "Whoever intentionally bring death, his last place will Hinnom" (4:94). Perpetrators of this crime, everyone who carries the death and does evil will be subjected to deserved punishment of Allah!
