By Thulung at 30 March, 2010, 5:02 am
Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at Lubyanka station and Park Kultury station in the Russian capital of Moscow. The attack in the morning rush hour killed at least 37 people and injured at least 60 commuters. No one has yet claimed the responsibilities, but the security services blamed to be the work of the rebels from North Caucasus.
The first explosion took place in a train which tore through a carriage at central Lubyanka station at 07:56am Moscow local time, where the train was waiting for passengers to board the train. The station is just beneath Federal Security Services (FSB) headquarter.
The second explosion was 6 stops away at Park Kultury station at 08:38am Moscow local time. The devices were made of RDX filled with metal pieces to increase the maximum casualties. Moscow city Metro is one of the busiest underground railways system in the world carrying about 5-6 million passengers a day. Russian leaders have said the masterminds behind the Moscow bombing will be destroyed.
