Moscow mourns victims of Metro twin suicide bombings
The death toll has reached at least 38 people, not including the bombers
Moscow is holding a day of mourning for the 38 people killed in Monday's twin suicide bombings on the city's Metro.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has vowed to "destroy" the perpetrators.
Officials blamed the attacks on Muslim groups from the northern Caucasus, where rebels have been waging violent campaigns for independence.
Chechnya's Kremlin-backed President Ramzan Kadyrov condemned the attacks in Moscow which he said was Chechnya's "capital" and "heart."
"It hurts even more when such things happen there," Mr Kadyrov said in the Chechen capital Grozny, adding he would assist the Kremlin in hunting down the culprits.
Two suspected female suicide bombers detonated bombs packed with pieces of metal at two separate stations during rush hour on Monday morning.
No group has said it carried out the attacks.
Remembrance
The Moscow city government declared Tuesday would be a day of mourning.
Russians have been lighting candles and laying flowers in memory of the victims of a blast inside the Lubyanka metro station, where 23 people died, and the Park Kultury station, where a second explosion left 12 people dead.
Another three people died in hospital, and officials have warned that the death toll could rise.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited the injured at a hospital in Moscow.
He said law enforcement agencies would "do everything to find and punish the criminals".
President Dmitry Medvedev laid a wreath at the scene of one of the attacks. He called the plotters "beasts", adding: "We will find and destroy them all."
US President Barack Obama pledged that Washington would "help bring to justice those who undertook this attack" while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called terrorism a "common enemy".
Foreign ministers from the G8 group of leading industrial nations also condemned the attacks at the start of talks on global security in Canada.
Finger of blame
The head of Russia's intelligence service, the Federal Security Service (FSB), said investigators believed the attacks had been carried out by "terrorist groups related to the North Caucasus".
"Fragments of the bodies of two female suicide bombers were found earlier at the scene of the incident and examinations show that these individuals came from the North Caucasus region," Alexander Bortnikov said.
More than 100,000 people have been killed in 15 years of conflict in Chechnya, and low-level insurgencies continue there and in the neighbouring republics of Ingushetia and Dagestan.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said militants on the Afghan-Pakistan border may have helped organise the attacks.
The city's Metro is one of the busiest underground railways in the world, carrying about 5.5 million passengers a day.
The system was partially disrupted following the attacks, but damage to the stations was minimal and both had reopened by the evening rush hour.
The co-ordinated attacks were the deadliest in Moscow since February 2004, when 40 people were killed by a bomb on a packed metro train as it approached the Paveletskaya station.
Six months later, a suicide bomber blew herself up outside another station, killing 10 people. Both attacks were blamed on rebels from Chechnya.
