THIS is the teenage "Black Widow" suicide bomber thought to be responsible for this week's Russian underground bombings posing with her dead militant rebel husband.

The baby-faced bomber was named as Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova, a 17-year-old widow of a Dagestani Islamist rebel killed in 2009, Umalat Magomedov, Russian media reported.

A Russian newspaper published the chilling photograph of Abdurakhmanova in an Islamic headscarf with Magomedov. Both are posing casually with pistols.

It was unclear whether the couple were formally married. Magomedov does not wear a ring in the photograph.

Magomedov was killed in a special operation on December 31, 2009, reports say.

   
Abudurakhmanova has been preliminarily identified from photographs.Russian investigators believe that Abdurakhmanova was responsible for the first of the double suicide blasts on Monday which together killed 39 people

The bombings sent a chill across Russia, recalling the string of suicide attacks carried out earlier in the decade by the so-called "Black Widows", women were found to have been relatives of men killed by Russian forces.

Investigators have not identified the second bomber, but one version is that she was a Chechen woman called Markha Ustarkhanova who was also married to a Caucasus militant, Kommersant reported.

The Russian authorities have released grisly photographs showing the severed heads of the two women's corpses, which are the prime evidence in the police investigation.
