The Central Asian country's security service claims to have found a suspect to the explosion of the St Petersburg's train,a 23 year old Central Asian known to have a connection with radical Islams
He is described as a native of Kyrgyzstan who obtained Russian citizenship.
Reports say the suspect planted a bomb between two underground stations killing 11 people and injuring at least 45 people on Monday afternoon.
There are conflicting reports as to whether the man, said to be in his early 20s, was a suicide bomber.
The Russian president,President Vladimir Putin who just happened to be in his home city during the bomb blast occurrence visited the scene on Monday evening and laid flowers at a makeshift shrine in respect to the victims that died
The White House said President Donald Trump had spoken to Mr Putin by phone and offered "full support" in bringing those responsible to justice.
"Both President Trump and President Putin agreed that terrorism must be decisively and quickly defeated," a statement said.
Kyrgyzstan state media reports that the country's security service was "maintaining contact with the Russian secret service for further investigation".
The act was described as a "barbaric act" by the German counselor.The death toll has been raised to 11 as 7 was seen at the scene,one in an ambulance and two in the hospital.The rest of the injured victims were immediately rushed to the hospital for proper treatment.
A body reported to be the corpse of the suspect was identified through his remains.
The Russian authorities are sensibly being cautious before apportioning blame for Monday's metro blast.
Several transport hubs in Russia have, however, been attacked. In 2010, 38 people died in a double suicide bombing on the Moscow metro but St Petersburg's metro system, which is used by more than two million passengers every day, has not suffered this kind of previous attacks.
And a year later, a bomb exploded on a high speed train travelling between Moscow and St Petersburg, killing 27 and injuring another 130.Both attacks were claimed by Islamist groups.
The Russian authorities are sensibly being cautious before apportioning blame for Monday's metro blast.Who might be exactly behind this attack??
