MOSCOW MOURNS VICTIMS OF METRO TWIN SUICIDE BOMBINGS
Baku, March 30 (AzerTAc). Moscow is holding an official day of mourning after 39 people were killed and more than 70 injured in Monday`s twin suicide bombings on its Metro.
As Russian President Dmitry Medvedev vowed to "destroy" the perpetrators, security was stepped up amid fears of fresh attacks.
No group said it had carried out the bombings but officials blamed militants from the North Caucasus. The United States vowed to help bring to justice the perpetrators.
Two suspected female suicide bombers detonated bombs packed with pieces of metal at two separate stations on the same line during rush hour on Monday morning.
But the line on the Metro, one of the traffic-clogged Russian capital`s most vital commuter assets, had resumed traffic by early evening on Monday.
