Moscow Subway Bombing Kills 37

Senior Russian officials say two female terrorists from the troubled Northern Caucasus could be behind two deadly explosions that ripped through Moscow's subway during morning rush hour. The first blast occurred at the metro station near the headquarters of the Russian State Security Service. The second blast struck at the back of the train as people were getting on at the Park Kultury stop. This attack comes six months after President Medvedev declared an end to Russia's "counter-terrorism operations" in Chechnya, in a bid to "further normalise the situation" after 15 years of conflict that claimed more than 100,000 lives and left it in ruins.
