Updated: Saturday, Feb. 7, 2004 - 2:43 PM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK (AP) - FBI agents and police from D.C. and New York will be heading to Russia in the coming days, to see what they can learn from the terrorist of a subway there.

Thirty-nine people died and more than 100 were hurt when a bomb went off Friday inside a Moscow subway car. Authorities blame Chechen rebels for the deadliest attack in the Moscow subway system.

FBI spokesman Joe Valiquette points out that both D.C. and New York have subway systems, and that both cities are considered prime targets for terrorists."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "DENVER (AP) - Denver International Airport is taking steps to reduce the number of people injured if there were a bomb blast in the terminals.

The airport is going to install a polyester film over the terminal's windows that would prevent glass from flying through the air if there was an explosion.

The Federal Aviation Administration is paying the estimated $800,000 cost.

Many government buildings and other major airports already have their windows covered in the film, which is glued on."

"Suicide bomber suspected in subway blast"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MOSCOW (AP) — Russian officials again called for tighter security checks in Moscow yesterday after a subway bombing killed 39 people, but their demands could worsen ethnic tensions as Muslim rebels from Chechnya were blamed for the attack.
Officials strongly suspected the Friday morning rush-hour blast was a suicide bombing, and President Vladimir Putin implicated insurgents fighting Russian troops for Chechen independence for most of the past decade.
Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov said the bomb appeared to have exploded about 20 inches above the floor, indicating it was in a bag or briefcase held by a subway passenger."
