Moscow Subway Explosion, MOSCOW : Two blasts ripped through packed Moscow metro stations on Monday during rush hour, killing at least 34 people and wounding 18, Russian officials said.
Russian prosecutors said they suspected “terrorists” were responsible and they had opened an investigation.
No group immediately took responsibility for the blasts but suspicion is likely to fall on groups from Russia’s North Caucasus, where Moscow is fighting a growing insurgency.
The first blast tore through the second carriage of a train as it stood at the Lubyanka metro station, close to the headquarters of Russia’s main domestic security service (FSB), at 0756 (0356 GMT), killing 22 people.
