At the top of the buzz list of security conscious America, on the finger tips of American tweeters, this morning, as many wake up and prepare to go to work, is the awful news of the terrorist bomb explosions in the Moscow subway.
This morning March 29th the Associated Press reports that, "Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow's subway system as it was jam-packed with rush-hour passengers Monday, killing at least 35 people and wounding more than 38." The death toll is expected to climb There were two separate explosions, the first at the Lubyanka station in central Moscow just before 8 a.m., and the second about 45 minutes later at the Park Kultury station. "The last confirmed terrorist attack in Moscow was in August 2004, when a suicide bomber blew herself up outside a city subway station, killing more than 10 people." Six months earlier in February 2004, a major attack on the Moscow Metro claimed 40 lives, when a bomb on a packed train exploded as it approached the Paveletskaya Metro station. Both attacks pointed to Chechen rebels, "and suspicion in (today's) Monday's explosions is likely to focus on them and other separatist groups in the restive North Caucasus region."
An early eye-witness account of the in mayhem of the Moscow metro bombing.
