The 20-year-old woman from the western Lithuanian city of Klaipeda was detained in the Vilnius international airport trying to get on a flight to Moscow shortly before two bombs detonated during the morning rush hour at the Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations of Moscow Metro on March 29.

The woman attracted attention of Lithuanian special services as she persistently tried to obtain a Russian visa.

A search in the airport revealed that the woman had information on explosive devices and their use in her luggage, as well as Moscow metro maps.

Subsequent investigation revealed that she had a Chechen friend, who perished after returning to his homeland in 2007. The girl soon ran from home and was found six months later in a small German town where she lived in a Chechen family.

She used to say that she wanted to convert to Islam and after returning to Klaipeda maintained contacts with other Chechens living there.
