The prosecutor's office had earlier announced that the body of five victims had so far been identified.
Officials had been quick to say the metro attack was carried out by a female suicide bomber who was originally headed inside the subway but turned around after she say police checking documents, eventually blowing herself up outside.
The blast was claimed by the same group that said it was responsible for the downing of two passenger jets on August 25 that had left all 90 people on board dead.
