MOSCOW -- The death toll from Friday's terrorist attack has risen to 139 after gunmen stormed a concert hall in Moscow, Alexander Bastrykin, the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, said Monday.

The committee's investigation has established the full chronology of the terrorist attack, Bastrykin said, adding that preliminary findings of the investigation suggest that the terrorist attack was carefully planned and prepared.

Earlier Monday, the Investigative Committee requested the arrest of three more suspects. The three suspected terrorist accomplices provided the armed terrorists with an apartment and a car, and transported money, Bastrykin said.
