Suicide Bombings Kill 37 in Moscow Subway

HeadlineMar 29, 2010

In Russia, at least thirty-seven people have died after two female suicide bombers attacked a pair of subway stations in Moscow at the peak of the morning rush hour. More than seventy people were injured. One of the blasts occurred at a station underneath the main offices of the Federal Security Service, the main successor to the KGB. No group has yet claimed responsibility, but Russian officials suspect it was carried out by rebels fighting for independence in Chechnya. Last month a Chechen rebel leader said, “the zone of military operations will be extended to the territory of Russia… the war is coming to their cities.”
