'Suicide blast' hits Moscow station
The blast happened at the end of the evening rush-hour
At least eight people have been killed in an explosion in a car outside an underground railway station in Moscow.

At least 10 others were hurt in what may have been two blasts outside the Rizhskaya station in the north of the city, reports say.

Russian security officials are blaming the attack on a female suicide bomber.

Television pictures from the scene show a car on fire and wounded people on the ground as ambulances and rescue services rush to the scene.

More than a dozen bodies could be seen scattered on the pavement and grass surrounded by pools of blood.

"There are children among the wounded," a police source was quoted as saying.

'Terror link'

The station's windows and those in nearby shopping centre were blown out by the force of the blast, which happened soon after 2000 (1600 GMT).

The underground station is on one of the busiest routes to the north of the city, says the BBC's Damian Grammaticus in Moscow.

A source at the interior ministry was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying: "With a great deal of probability, we can state that what happened was a deliberate explosion caused by a female suicide bomber."

Police have been on high alert after a bomb exploded at a south Moscow bus stop last week.

On the same day, 89 people died when two passenger planes exploded mid-flight.

It is thought they were brought down by suicide bombers with links to Chechnya.

Doesn't KSO live in Moscow? How frequent are actual suicide bombers in Russia?

This is a terrible day, in which dozens were murdered by radical Muslims and hundreds wounded, many permanently.

First of all in moscow this is I believe the third suicide attack this year, about whole Russia I don't know but that is becoming a problem in the recent couple of year.
The main problem that we don't know how much suicide attacks are happening in Chechnia which is a part of Russia because of the Cencorship Russian Goverment applies to all News coming from there, if you watch the Russian TV the Chechen war Does not exist, the only news that are coming from Chechnia show Chechens:
a. Dancing.
b.Playing football
c.electing puppet leaders, with 104% majority...

Are the Russians learning? The two planes may have been exploded by women.

Excuse my ignorance, but does Chechnya have oil or something? Why is Chechnya not fully independent? There is surely enough land up there.

Simple questions, but 100 % right! Yes, Chechnya has oil, that's the main reason. I think.

Yes like usually it's the oil thing, there is a major pipeline that goes in Chechnia, Without it I don't think Russia would care to much about chechen Independence, although I'm not sure that most Chechens support independence today they probably only want to stop The massacre of their people both by Russian Army and Terrorists.

They destroyed all of Chechnya already.


The two planes may have been exploded by women.

Both planes and today's suicide bombing was the job of female shahids.

And again the great problem is the lack of Information from Chechnia the female suicide bombers are called black widows, bot how can that be if officially there is no fighting going in Chechnia, are they widows of people who died during dancing? or maybe Terek Grozny (chechen team that won the Russian Football cup a couple of weeks ago) who died celebrating goals? because it's the only chechens you'll see on TV today...

There is oil, but not enough to matter. Russians just don't give up any land, period. It is both a policy and a cultural phenomena. They'd rather line up the Chechens in front of a trench and shoot them all than give up an inch of land.

Actually it's an issue of national integrity. If Chechnya goes many other outlets would go with it.
