Russian Subway Bombed Killing 14 People; Allegedly the bomber killled himself in the process;YEAH RIGHT!!!
Now we know who is responsible for this outrageous murder even though they found the 'terrorist' supposedly covering their tracks and leaving no questions to be asked. Nice try, but we know this 'terorist' attack is revenge against Putin for helping Assad in Syria. I mean an airliner shot down, two ambassadors murdered and accusing Putin of meddling in the American Presidential election, you guys have been busy with your anti Russian campaign (and we all know who this is).
St. Petersburg Subway Bomb Suspect ID’d as Kyrgyz Man: Reports
byAlastair Jamieson
MOSCOW — A suicide bomber behind the attack on the St. Petersburg, Russia subway has been identified, authorities said Tuesday as the death toll rose to 14.
Russian investigators said body parts of the suspect were found in the third car of the train.
Officials in the central Asian state of
Kyrgyzstan identified that suspect as a Kyrgyz-born man in his 20s,
according to the Associated Press and Reuters, but Russian authorities
did not confirm that information.
The explosion, which came while President
Vladimir Putin was visiting his home city, tore through a train, killing
14 and wounding dozens. Police later found and defused a
shrapnel-packed explosive device at another station.

In the past two decades, Russian trains and
planes have been frequent targets of terrorism, usually blamed Chechen
separatists or Islamic militants, but St. Petersburg — a major tourist
destination famed for its imperial palaces and lavish art museums — had
been spared previous attacks.
"From now on, I will be scared to take the
subway," said Marina Ilyina, 30, who brought flowers to the station
where the train stopped after the bombing. "We in St. Petersburg thought
we wouldn't be touched by that."

Putin laid flowers to honor the victims overnight, according to official state news service TASS. The president stepped out of his car in Moskovsky Prospekt Avenue with a bunch of scarlet roses.
The blast happened when the train was between
the Sennaya Ploschad and Tekhnologichesky Institute subway stations.The
second device was found at Ploshchad Vosstaniya station. It was loaded
with shrapnel and contained up to 2.2 pounds of explosives, Interfax
reported.
There was praise for the train driver, who
took the damaged cars forward so that victims could be treated more
quickly by first responders. Alexander Kavernin, 50, told reporters
Tuesday he heard the sound of a blast while his train was running,
raised the alarm and carried on to the station.
"I had no time to think about fear at that moment," he said.
Jitters were underscored Tuesday as four station were closed by fresh bomb threats, the AP reported.
Russia's health minister Veronika Skvortsova
said 11 victims were killed at the scene, one died in an ambulance and
two more at the hospital. Forty-nine wounded are still hospitalized, she
told reporters.
In a phone call with Putin, President Donald
Trump offered condolences, the White House said in a statement. Trump
also pledged to support Russia's response to the attack and its pursuit
of justice, the statement said.
"Both President Trump and President Putin agreed that terrorism must be decisively and quickly defeated," the statement said.
