TA-ATTACKS: Moscow hit with Car Bomb; 6 Killed, 20 Injured

A car bomb has gone off in Moscow near the Rizhskaya subway station. Initial reports state there are at least 6 deaths and 20 injuries.



There were apparently 2 separate explosions, one very large one and then a smaller one. It is possible that the second was nothing more than a secondary explosion inside the car.
It also may be a good idea to remember that only a week ago two Russian passenger jets crashed because of what is believed to be terrorism. Also, in February, 41 people were killed in Moscow because of an explosion in a subway station during rush hour traffic.

MSNBC.

The death toll is unfortunately rising... News outlets now say at least 8 deaths.

Oh God, I used to go to highschool in that neighborhood and I would take a train to Rizhskaya every morning... Sad. Still not clear if this was terrorism (likely) or business related hit.

Reports are now suggesting that iwas a double car bomb.

Death toll may now be 18 including kids.

damn those chechen criminals!

It was apparently done by females.

Also interesting the flights in Russia were also exploded by females.

Seems that terrorism has taken a new twist, the new terrorist is now female. Just after the request for more females to attack, and the issue of the magazine for females.

Female terrorist are not new at all.

Chechen Terrorist used female suicide bomber in the Theatre Seige several years ago. There have also been Palatinian female suicide bombers as well. Even Iraq had female bombers in several parades.

Same old game. Same old BS.

Thanks, I didn't know they were female bombers in the theatre
incident.
Thanks on the heads up on that!

Also in Uzbekistan the bombings were female suicide killers.
