The man believed to have unleashed a suicide bomb attack on a subway train in St. Petersburg, Russia, killing more than a dozen people, was identified Tuesday as a 22-year-old Russian citizen born in Kyrgyzstan.

Akbardzhon Dzhalilov was named as the killer by Russia’s Investigative Committee. Detectives said they also found his DNA on a bag holding a second bomb in a nearby subway station — which crews defused before it could explode.

Before naming him, Russian investigators linked the suspected attacker to radical Islamic terror groups. They said he himself carried the deadly bomb on the train in a backpack.

At least 14 people were killed in the attack, according to Russian officials. It was unclear whether they included Dzhalilov in their count. Some 49 people were hospitalized.

Both bombs were filled with shrapnel, Sky News reported. The unexploded device was rigged with up to 2.2 pounds of explosives, Russian media reported.

In Kyrgyzstan, the State Committee for National Security confirmed the Dzhalilov’s identity and said it would help the Russian investigation.

The entire St. Petersburg subway system was shut down and evacuated, but partial service resumed after about six hours. The city’s population has neared 5 million, and it’s one of Russia’s top tourism destinations.
