First Video Update from France TV
2-4AM I did try to update (via twitter) for facts as they appeared. There were two separate explosive attacks in the heart of Moscow during AM Rush Hour. Thousands use the Subways (Tubes) in the AM to get to work. The Media there are reporting that the two attacks were 40 minutes apart and that more than 37 died on scene and that more than 30 were wounded, with numbers expected to rise. They reported first one female bomber with plastic explosive belt, and then a second one on a different carriage,but on the same line further along the track. The First Blast was near Lubyanka metro station and killed 23 people and wounded more. The Second blast was at Park Kultury and killed 13 and wounded more.
As there are cameras throughout the stations, the Investigators should be able to watch the films and learn more about the explosions and who carried them out. No one as of yet has claimed responsibility. But is believed attacks were carried out by two separate female suicide bombers.

The Beautiful Moscow Subway 4 days ago...Tunnels are very deep,very clean and well maintained, built in the 1930s and the carriages are known to be old and carry anywhere from 20-40 people. Do see how there is music played.
I will post more links about this....and info today.It is still being determined who and what did this.Two separate explosions occurred and it is estimated more than 40 are dead and more wounded. It is being said that suicide female bombers are involved,but the second blast was more fierce and some reports say that was an actual bomb.

The word is suicide bombers, women suicide bombers, how do you convince a person (woman or man) to kill themselves AND kill other innocent people?
What kind of peaceful religion supports this atrocity?
Islam needs to come into the 19th century, all religions have gone through these bloodthirsty phases, and have matured but Islam, with no titular head to turn the faith to a more humanist direction seems to be unable to condemn or stop these outrages.....
sigh
CNN says the suicide bombers were women, Checyna protestors. I echo what Tom said above!
