A BOMB exploded at a bus stop in a Russian city today, killing two people and wounding several others, the Interfax news agency reported.

The blast took place around 8.15am (2.15pm AEST) in Voronezh, about 475 kilometres south of Moscow, the regional office of the Federal Security Service said.

A 26-year-old woman was killed and one of the wounded was in a critical condition in a local hospital, the security service said, and Interfax later reported that a 23-year-old man died of his injuries. It said one other injured victim was in intensive care, while three had been released from the hospital.

The victims were passengers in a taxi van that had just moved away from the stop, the security service said. Authorities said the bomb exploded several metres away from the stop.

Interfax cited a local police official as saying the bomb had the explosive equivalent of 500 grams of TNT and that it had been placed in a garbage container.

Judge says, No more bag searches for protestors.
"Sweet said the city had "not shown that the invasion of personal privacy entailed by the bag search policy is justified by the general invocation of terrorist threats, without showing how searches will reduce the threat."

Hmmmm. Somewhere I was reading that the Russkies would plant a bomb themselves- to make it appear that they were also victims of Islamic terrorism....
