So, to be clear, the man in black has been located, and had nothing to do with it?
I hope some people in this thread learned something from that.

Way to avoid the consequences of your obscene amount of bias and phobia.
Never mind the fact that you were all in on the suspect who had NOTHING to do with the event, and was literally picked out because he was the "most Muslim looking guy there", forget that. Never mind eh? Its only weak minded and pathetic, its only indicative of a very deep problem with bias, a perfect definition of what is wrong with racial and ethnic profiling, especially the sort engaged in by those who lack the insight to make even a good attempt at use of a flawed way of thinking. Never mind all that, because at least the attacker did turn out to be a Muslim...
People who think like you do, are the reason I am concerned for the future of this species. A minority of idiots with explosives are not even one tenth as dangerous in the long run, as phobics and broad brush thinkers like yourself are.

Well, your mom is a nice lady. So there.
I think we all knew it was going to be a Muslim terror attack.
It's a religion that desperately needs the reformation others have experienced in their histories.
I just think it's a little silly to look at a picture of a guy, without even being part of an investigation to be able to know, and say, "That's the one!" when no such evidence exists.

By that token, you righties cannot spell the word you, so eager are you to take a pop at lefties.
That is approximately what I expected, but I cannot help being disappointed by it.

8 people detained in connection with St. Petersburg Metro bombing – official
"As a result of investigative actions taken by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Interior Ministry, six suspects allegedly involved in the terrorist attack were detained in St. Petersburg and two more were arrested in Moscow," Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told journalists on Thursday.
She also said that an improvised explosive device (IED) was found in the detained suspects’ apartments during a police raid, along with firearms and ammunition. The IED found by the police is similar to the one that the St. Petersburg Metro bomber is believed to have planted at Ploshchad Vosstaniya station, the spokeswoman added.
Earlier, six suspected Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and Al-Nusra Front recruiters, who reportedly originate from Central Asian countries, were detained in St. Petersburg.

State Department Issues Vielded Threat on Russian Cities
“Extremist groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there in Syria to expand their operations, which could include attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities. Russia will continue to send troops home in body bags, and will continue to lose resources, perhaps even aircraft,” #John Kirby, the State Department's spokesperson, told reporters at Wednesday's press briefing.
All sides involved in Syria are experiencing freak accidents, explosions and failures on key infrastructure . Spectacular explosions and fires in many cases. If the "foreign fighters, intelligence assets, imported volunteer psychos, terrorists, and/or rebels" under the influence of Western orders, and the west just publicly, unapologetic, alluded that they may attack Russian cities and down aircraft... well folks, all I can infer from that is that this is an unofficial declaration of war on Russia and is exactly how they are likely interpreting it as. Be alert for this weekend on a more official line coming in to play. Check the buried pages, this won't be headline. The establishment is not going to translate to the citizenry what they just said in an open manner.
We have just been warned. The countdown is now ticking...
