Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on the Moscow subway during the morning rush hour today, killing at least 37 people and injuring more than 60, Russian officials said.
Yuri Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, told reporters the suicide bombers were believed to have set off their explosives as trains approached Lubyanka and Park Kultury metro stations.
"The first data that the FSB [Federal Security Service] has given us is that there were two female suicide bombers," he told reporters at Park Kultury.
Vladimir Putin, the prime minister, who was on a visit to the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, said those responsible for the attacks would be "destroyed".

They didn't happen to follow a certain 'Religion of Peace' by any chance?
Some on this board claim I like to stir things by banging on and on about this sort of thing, but if it was Muslims responsible then there's plenty of previous.

Seems to have the hallmarks. And with all the troubles the unhappy regionals suffer, the last thing they need are jihadis committing atrocities for their own ends. And if the papers don't tell us who the perpetrators are, and they often don't with things like ethic gang crime, then I'll just have to put 2 and 2 together.
But taking the Islamos out of the loop, I see both sides being resolute and with their own fears if the other side gets its way. I think there's too much friction for there not to be a fire.
However, I did pick up on the Islamist trait of resorting to murder and carnage to sort out their troubles. We keep on being told civilised people should be beyond trying to press their will through violence, hence so much outrage over the IRA.
Stop trying to racistly pin it on Islam when you've already been proven ignorant on the subject matter. This had nothing to do with Islam.
Ooooo, Waysist Alert! Scweam-scweam-scweam! Flash the red light! Ring dat bell!
Nothing to do with Islam? Which is probably why the tribal leader is keen to establish an Islamic outpost in the Caucasus and use his human bombs to terrorise the head nation in the Russian Federation. Look at the BBC article.
Don't sound a lot like ignorance to me, but then that word's just another example of doublespeak now.

Chechnya is not caused by Radical Islam but by the people wanting freedom from Russia as Georgia and others had before.
I have every sympathy for the relatives & friends of those killed in this the latest attack.
Bombings are considered newsworthy! Being a non-crazy Jihadist isn't.
Is there a non-crazy jihadist out there?! Does that mean that being an armchair jihadist is somehow acceptable?
Funny how we're told that jihadists can be good old boys who mix in as good as any of them (they played cricket, became doctors and helped handicapped children in the Glasgow case!) and that Islamic terrorism is nothing to do with Islam!
It's no good shooting the messenger with logic like that.
It seems like those women were duped but Islam was involved as far as the tribal warlords are concerned.
Except this has nothing to do with the Muslim faith.
