St Petersburg metro 'explosion': Multiple injuries after blast on underground in Russian city

When was the last time a Russian Padre blew up anything?

I don't follow Brit's post history but he seems pretty fair and sensible from what I can recall.
We all like to jump to conclusions at times..I'm guilty of it too.

Is it just me or does that almost seem to be a caricature of a Muslim...?

Where did they get that guy? Central Casting?

“The causes of this event have not been determined yet, so it’s too early to talk about [possible causes]. The investigation will show. Certainly, we will consider all variants, common, criminal, first of all, of a terrorist nature,” Putin said.

It is refreshing to see an official statement of such rationale following a tragedy like this.
In the West, it seems we are told all too soon exactly what happened and who did it. We see agendas being met through deliberately and immediately drawn conclusions.

What the hell are you smoking and why aren't you sharing with everybody else?

Any time something happens in the West, people go ballistic asking why the media won't just call something terrorism and ranting about how the government/media/politicians/law enforcement bend over backwards to not label something terrorism.

You are fake news.

Ok we have Muslim terorist attacking innocent people all over the world on almost a weekly basis. Then we have a bombing on a subway and they show us a picture of THAT GUY.

What other conclusion could it possibly be? I know Russian Padre right because they are so hellbent on killing innocent people lately?

The obvious refusal by the left to see these things for what the are is just mindboggling.

The Telegraph is reporting at least 10 dead and two explosions , second explosion at another station on the blue branch of the St. Petersburg Metro.

Russia's anti-terrorism committee has confirmed that 10 people have died in the explosion in the Russian city of St Petersburg.
www.telegraph.co.uk...

Video from the scene.

Disgusting.


This was an islamic terrorist attack on innocent civilians NOT A MILITARY "REPRISAL".

Indeed!
Likely hired by Soros, as he's still greatly displeased that he's going to lose his University in St. Petersburg.

FoxNews is saying the Russian security services are looking for two individuals now...

Two people were believed to be behind the deadly attack in the subway in St. Petersburg, Russia, planting a total of two bombs, one of which exploded, state media reported Monday as police and anti-terror investigators raced to find the killers.

Another Islamic terrorist attack.

Who would have thought?

Truly terrible. I was in St. Petersburg a few years ago. Pretty city, my favorite in Russia.

This is sky news's time line to date

Ok this is whats being reported as of now

-The guy in the the photo that was realeased as the main suspect has come forward and has now been cleared as a suspect.

- The latest reports are that the bomb was caused by a backpack being carried by a 23yr old from central asia.

These are reports originating from Interfax news agency.

a reply to: PhoenixOD

well I am glad that was cleared up. I personally felt that the man pictured was not involved. Did they clarify if he was Muslim or Orthodox christian?? That seemed really important to some of the posters earlier.

Do you know what was the time stamp for the Interfax headline saying the original person of interest has been cleared?? I was looking through the Interfax site, I could not find that information.

a reply to: worldstarcountry

I dont think they gave any other details about the original guy.

Im kind of catching snipits of that's going on by having news playing in the background while doing other work. Every now and then i flip between channels.

The death toll has risen to 11 now.

a reply to: PhoenixOD

I'm reading interfax too, but didn't see any further news about the suspect?

a reply to: Peeple
Ok FOX NEWS did repeat that report from Interfax.

Russian media, The Associated Press and other news agencies sent out a photo of a bearded man dressed in black, initially claiming he was wanted in connection with the blast. Interfax later reported that the man went to police to claim he was innocent.

Here is the new suspect they are running with, photo n all.

Here is a post about the first man, the picture that looks like a screen grab is what I saw initially before the one that was spread in the press. It had confused me, but the one on bottom right looks like he may be at the police station.

People in Russian social media are calling for stricter visa requirements, probably in the general community as well.

a reply to: worldstarcountry

Fox? Only fox? Reuters doesn't have it, RT doesn't, pravda doesn't & I can't find it on interfax.

There are a total of 3 pictures I've seen, on the train, in the station, a place outside.

Okay the last you posted looks like at the police didn't see that before.
And # the young guy looks Russian? Why is there not more reliable information?

a reply to: Peeple

I got it from Sky who claimed to have sourced it from Interfax



Im trying my best to report what i hear in the back ground and still get on with my days work. Audio is the hardest thing to report on here at ATS.

a reply to: PhoenixOD

Interfax twitter seems to be the source of that.
