Bowed but Not Broken

Trauma

The attacks are the second major terrorist assault on the Russian transportation system in the past year. In November 2009, a bomb derailed a luxury train traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg, killing 26 people. Authorities have linked that attack to Muslim insurgents from the Caucasus.

Emergency Workers

Close to 40 people were reportedly killed and more than 100 injured.

Bloodied

Authorities report that the bombs were set off by two women, one of whom was seen with an explosive belt fastened to her body.

Blast Site

On Monday morning, March 29, two bombs exploded in the Moscow subway system. The first, at around 7:50 a.m. Moscow time, occurred as a train stood at the central Lubyanka station, beneath the offices of the FSB (Federal Security Services) intelligence agency. Roughly 40 minutes later, a second explosion ripped through a train at Park Kultury, where this photograph was taken.
