At least 40 dead in Moscow metro explosion
At least 40 people have been killed and scores more injured as two explosions ripped through the Moscow metro at the height of rush hour this morning.
The first blast at the Lubyanka station in central Moscow happened at 0756 (0356 GMT) killing 22 people.
The headquarters of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, is located above the station which is just yards away the Kremlin.
In fact, a venerable method of discrediting your opposition:
Quote:On the evening of May 30, 1884, bombs planted by Clan-na-Gael “erupted outside the Junior Carlton Club and a politician’s house (the wrong target), both in St. James’s Square. No one was killed. But the most injurious to the pride of the forces of order was the clockwork-fused bomb left in the public urinal beneath their very own stronghold,”* the Scotland Yard headquarters of the Special (Irish) Branch.
