On Monday March 29, a Moscow subway was attacked by two suicide bombers killing 38 people and wounding at least 60 more according to the Star Tribune. These are the first subway bombing in Russia since 2004.
In the past week Russian police have executed many Islamic militant leaders in the North Caucaus in the Kabardino-Balkariya region. According to the Russian president "the remains of the two suicide bombers pointed to a connection with the Caucaus".
The first explosion happened at 8 a.m. and then the second bombing took place about 45 minutes later. Both times the bombs were detonated as trains were pulling into the stations and the doors were open.
Multiple train stations in the United States increased their security after the Moscow bombings including Washington D.C. and New York.
