Multiple blasts at rush hour...terror sounds like a good bet. Maybe this is some common ground the world can come together on...these vermin need to be dead.
I’m not sure. It may have been that extremist Jehovah’s Witness splinter group.
"Which to support? Muslims or Marxists? Hmm...."

“41 DEAD IN MOSCOW SUBWAY DOUBLE BLAST - TERRORISM PROBE BEGUN
28 March 2010”
SNIPPET: “At least 41 people have been killed and scores more injured as two explosions ripped through the Moscow metro at the height of rush hour this morning.
The first blast at the Lubyanka station in central Moscow happened at 0756 (0356 GMT) as thousands of passengers were packed onto trains.
The headquarters of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, is located just above the station.
“The blast hit the second carriage of a metro train that stopped at Lubyanka,” Russian emergencies ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova said.
Russian prosecutors said they had launched a “terrorism probe” after the two blasts.”

SNIPPET: “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 Islamist insurgency.”
Prayers up for the victims and their families, very little sympathy for their leaders, who have been playing with fire in Iran and elsewhere. This isn’t the Cold War anymore, fellows, and if you dance with the devil you’ll find you won’t be calling the tune.

“Tokyo marks 15th anniversary of subway gas attack”
By TOMOKO A. HOSAKA
The Associated Press

SNIPPET: “TOKYO — Tokyo subway workers observed a moment of silence Saturday to mark the 15th anniversary of a nerve gas attack by a religious cult, Japan’s deadliest act of domestic terrorism.
About 20 employees at Kasumigaseki station in Tokyo’s government district bowed their heads in silent prayer at 8 a.m., when members of the cult released sarin nerve gas in rush-hour trains on March 20, 1995. The five coordinated attacks killed 13 people and sickened 6,300 others.”

Said Buryatsky
SNIPPET: “A Muslim convert accused of organizing the deadly Nevsky Express train bombing in November and a series of other attacks was killed by special forces in Ingushetia shortly after he recorded a farewell online sermon, officials said.
Islamic insurgents confirmed the death of Said Buryatsky, 28, on their web sites Monday and posted a photograph of the bearded Buryatsky’s blood-splattered face. The rebels said Buryatsky became a “martyr” on March 2.
Buryatsky, chief ideologist of the North Caucasus rebels, and seven other rebels were killed in an operation led by the Federal Security Service in the Ingush village of Ekazhevo, the Investigative Committee said. Ten suspects were also detained.”
The KGB is on the lookout for these terrorists...

“Women sucide bombers kill dozens in Moscow Metro attacks”
SNIPPET: “The blasts were caused by suicide bombers wearing belts packed with explosives”

SNIPPET: “The blasts were caused by two women wearing belts packed with explosives, Moscow’s chief prosecutor Yuri Syomin told reporters.
Surveillance camera footage posted on the Interbet showed motionless bodies lying in Lubyanka station lobby and emergency workers treating victims.
Passengers, many of them in tears, streamed out of the station, one man exclaiming over and over “This is how we live!”
No group immediately took responsibility for the blasts, but suspicion is likely to fall on Chechen militants and other groups from Russia’s North Caucasus, where Russia is fighting a growing Islamist insurgency.”
Typical, just like the chicks who brought down a few of Ivan’s airliners are few years back.
If I recall correctly, those were the Black Widows.
