  • The two blasts occurred between Sennaya Ploshchad and Sadovaya train station in St Petersburg, Russia
  • Ambulances raced to the scene of the carnage caused by nail bombs which were detonated on the network
  • Metro officials reported blast was from an improvised explosive device on board which included shrapnel
  • At least 10 people have been reported to have been killed by two explosions and 50 more have been injured

Awful news...

The Russians are saying this may have been an act of terrorism, which sounds to me like a pretty good bet, but no one has any details just yet as to who made the attack or why.
 
It looks like terrorist can still strike in strongly control Communist countries. Perhaps Russia should have kept out of the Middle East.

Revealed: The Name and Face of the St. Petersburg Subway Bomber

Russia's Investigative Committee has formally named the man behind Monday's deadly attack on the St. Petersburg subway system.

Twenty-two-year-oldAkbarzhon Dzhalilov, a Kyrgyz-born Russian citizen, killed 14 people when he detonated a homemade explosive in a subway car traveling between the city's Technologichsky Institut and Sennaya Ploshchad metro stations.



His motives/ associations are still being investigated. He's not saying anything. He was a suicide bomber.
 
I don't think the time honoured ostrich paradigm works anymore.

It didn't work for France
France has been involved in the Middle East for centuries. It had colonies like Algeria which did great harm to the locals.s. It was involved with Britain in given part of Palestine to Israel. It still has the most anti Muslim legislation of any European country. It was first to ban the burka and allow anti Mohamad cartoons.
That why it is attacked by Muslims.
