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.

SNIPPET: “Responsibility for that blast was claimed by Chechen rebels and suspicion in Monday’s explosions is likely to focus on them and other separatist groups in the restive North Caucasus region.
In February, Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov warned in an interview on a rebel-affiliated Website that “the zone of military operations will be extended to the territory of Russia ... the war is coming to their cities.””

MOSCOW 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 37 people and wounding 102, officials said.
The head of Russia’s main security agency said preliminary investigation places the blame on rebels from the restive Caucasus region that includes Chechnya, where separatists have fought Russian forces since the mid-1990s.
The first explosion took place just before 8 a.m. at the Lubyanka station in central Moscow. The station is underneath the building that houses the main offices of the Federal Security Service, or FSB, the KGB’s main successor agency.
A second explosion hit the Park Kultury station about 45 minutes later.
Emergency Minister Sergei Shoigu said the toll was 37 killed and 102 injured, but he did not give a breakdown of casualties at each station, according to Russian news agencies.
“I heard a bang, turned my head and smoke was everywhere. People ran for the exits screaming,” said 24-year-old Alexander Vakulov, who said he was on a train on the platform opposite the targeted train at Park Kultury.
“I saw a dead person for the first time in my life,” said 19-year-old Valentin Popov, who had just arrived at the station from the opposite direction.
In a televised meeting with President Dmitry Medvedev, Federal Security Service head Alexander Bortnikov said body fragments of the two bombers pointed to a Caucasus connection. He did not elaborate.

Not while the POS muslim-in-chief is running the show. His anti-Jewish, pro-hamas terrorist
crap is going to get a lot of innocents killed. Meanwhile, the media praises his
anti-American ways and further divides the country.
2012 is a long way off and not a sure bet with the media lies.
