CHILLING images of the dead "black widow" Moscow bombers have been revealed - as it was claimed that 21 more may be ready to strike.
Investigators said they may have been among 30 women who trained as suicide bombers in Turkey.
Nine of the group are now thought to have died in attacks -- and officials are racing to track down the others.
Said Buryatsky - dubbed the Russian Osama bin Laden - is thought to have trained the women from the war-torn Caucasus region. He was killed by security services last month.66166617
Investigators also released a photo of a suspected male accomplice. He is thought to have accompanied the bombers on a bus from the Caucasus.
Mourners laid flowers at makeshift memorials on the metro.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has vowed to hunt down the masterminds of the bombing "to the bottom of the sewers."
His tough comments came as Moscow marked a day of mourning for the national tragedy.
Grieving Muscovites added to heaps of flowers and placed photographs of the dead under memorial plaques at the stations. Flags at government buildings flew at half mast and television channels cancelled entertainment programs.
"We know that they (the organisers) are lying low," Mr Putin said in comments broadcast on state television.
"But it is now a matter of honour for the security forces to scrape them out from the bottom of the sewers and bring them out into the light of day."
"This will be done," he said.
Western leaders condemned the attacks and sent messages of solidarity to Russia, which has often been criticised in the West for using brutal counter-insurgency tactics in the North Caucasus.
US President Barack Obama called Mr Medvedev and pledged Washington would "help bring to justice those who undertook this attack."
