Russian officials say they have arrested the brother and sister of the suspected suicide bomber who attacked a Moscow airport last month.

Russian security sources have identified the suspected bomber as Magomed Yevloyev, 20, from a village in Ingushetia in the northern Caucasus.

Officials now say they have arrested his brother, Akhmed, and sister, Fatima, Interfax news agency reported.

A Chechen warlord has said he ordered the attack on Domodedovo airport.

Some 36 people were killed and about 180 people were wounded in the bombing.

Mr Yevloyev's siblings can be held for up to two months while officials investigate whether or not they were involved in the attack, Russian media reported.

Ingushetia borders war-torn Chechnya.

Doku Umarov - one of Russia's most wanted men - claimed in a video posted online that he had ordered the bombing. The footage is dated 24 January, the day of the attack.

He is the self-styled leader of the "Caucasus Emirate" and is considered the head of the Islamist militant insurgency in the North Caucasus.

Mr Umarov has previously claimed responsibility for the March 2010 suicide bombings on the Moscow Metro in which 39 people died.

He is also said to have ordered the November 2009 bombing of a train from Moscow to St Petersburg that killed 26.

He has said he ordered the Moscow airport bombing on 24 January 2011, which left 36 people dead and 180 injured, and the March 2010 suicide bombings on the city's Metro, in which 39 people died.

Mr Umarov is also said to have ordered the November 2009 bombing of a train from Moscow to St Petersburg that claimed 26 lives.

He is one of Russia's most wanted rebels, and the self-styled Emir of the Caucasus Emirate.

Mr Umarov is considered the leader of the Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus.

He has spear-headed several high-profile rebel raids, and fought in both wars against Russia since 1994.

He also served as Chechnya's security minister during its short-lived independence between 1996 and 1999.

He became the commander of the "south-western front" of the rebel armed forces in 2002, and is believed to have about 1,000 fighters under his command.

Mr Umarov is said to have played a key role in organising an attack in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia in June 2004, in which several dozen people, including the acting Ingush interior minister, were killed.

He has also been accused by Russian security forces of leading the 2004 school siege in Beslan, which resulted in more than 300 deaths. The allegation has never been substantiated, although hostages have said he was the only attacker not to wear a mask.

In Chechnya, he is suspected of being behind a string of kidnappings for ransom, and is said by officials to have been involved in killing Chechens who were co-operating with the pro-Kremlin government.

In a video statement in March last year, Mr Umarov called the Moscow Metro bombings "a legitimate act of revenge for the continued assassinations of civilians in the Caucasus".

"I told you, the Russians, that now you only see the war on your TV screens, and you don't respond to the crimes of the FSB [security agency] bandits and to the crimes of [Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin himself."
