Dmitri Sokolov was married to Volgograd bomber Naida Asiyalova, a Dagestan native who took a Moscow-bound bus from the region on Oct. 21, left it in Volgograd and then detonated her explosives on a local bus.
After the bombing, authorities said Sokolov had become a top rebel expert in explosives. The bomb was rigged with shrapnel, which caused severe injuries and left many of the more than 30 wounded in grave condition.
Investigators also believe Sokolov had prepared explosives for a suicide bomber who blew herself up outside the regional branch of Russia's Interior Ministry in Dagestan in May, killing 12 people.
He had been on the run since he left his home in a Moscow suburb in the summer of 2012, according to the investigators.
Alive: Dimitri got a new name when he joined the insurgency - Abdull Jabbar.
Mugshots: Dmitri's wife encouraged him to become a terrorist
