Tass News: The first blast happened at the city's central Lubyanka station. A second explosion happened at the Park Kultury station.

Two (2) blasts at two (2) different stations in this news report. Let's see if that changes and all of a sudden there is only one (1) blast and the cause of the blast is heavily 'modified'.

(Reuters) - At least 35 people were killed on Monday when two separate blasts rocked metro stations in central Moscow during the rush hour, law enforcement and emergency officials said.

Russian prosecutors said they had launched a “terrorism probe” after the two blasts. (Reporting by Dmitry Solovyov; Editing by Guy Faulconbridge)

Multiple blasts at rush hour...terror sounds like a good bet. Maybe this is some common ground the world can come together on...these vermin need to be dead.

I’m not sure. It may have been that extremist Jehovah’s Witness splinter group.

"Which to support? Muslims or Marxists? Hmm...."

“41 DEAD IN MOSCOW SUBWAY DOUBLE BLAST - TERRORISM PROBE BEGUN
28 March 2010”

SNIPPET: “At least 41 people have been killed and scores more injured as two explosions ripped through the Moscow metro at the height of rush hour this morning.

The first blast at the Lubyanka station in central Moscow happened at 0756 (0356 GMT) as thousands of passengers were packed onto trains.

The headquarters of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, is located just above the station.

“The blast hit the second carriage of a metro train that stopped at Lubyanka,” Russian emergencies ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova said.

Russian prosecutors said they had launched a “terrorism probe” after the two blasts.”
