MOSCOW — Following the suicide bombing at Russia’s largest airport, which killed 35 people, President Dmitry Medvedev called today for full security checks to be conducted at all transport hubs and for government officials to be held accountable for security lapses.

Medvedev said management of Domodedovo Airport must share responsibility for security failures that contributed to the blast Monday, which also injured 180 people. He described security at the airport as “simply a state of anarchy.”

Airport management objected, saying the inspection of people coming into the arrivals area, where the bombing took place, is the responsibility of transport police.

The finger-pointing could undermine confidence in Russia’s security as Medvedev prepares for an appearance at the high-profile World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to try to attract investors.

Two Britons, a German and a Bulgarian were among the those killed, according to the Emergencies Ministry. A further 110 people, including nine foreigners, were hospitalized, the ministry said.

No claims of responsibility have been issued. Islamic militants in the southern Russian region of Chechnya have been blamed for previous attacks in Moscow, including a double suicide bombing on the capital’s subway system in March 2010 that killed 40 people. If Monday’s attack was by Chechen insurgents, it could indicate an ominous new strategy — unlike previous attacks, it targeted an area where foreigners were likely to gather.

Medvedev postponed his departure for the Davos forum, where he is scheduled to be the main speaker at the opening session Wednesday. The Kremlin said he still planned to go but his itinerary had not been finalized.

The Russian president, often seen as submissive to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, appeared to be trying to assert his power in his statements today.
