Two
suspected terrorists are on the run after a nail bomb planted in a St
Petersburg train ripped through the carriages - killing at least 10
people and injury 50 today.Several Russian media outlets have released
the CCTV picture of the bearded suspect who was wearing a long, black
top and a hat blamed for causing the carnage by detonating a bomb that
was packed with shrapnel.The terrifying incident took place on a train
that was travelling between Sennaya Ploshchad and Sadovaya metro
stations. A second explosive device disguised as a fire extinguisher was
foundand defused in a nearby station.Nobody has claimed responsibility
for the explosion, but previous attacks on Russia have been blamed on
ISIS and Chechens.A search warrant has now been issued for two people in
connection with the attack - one for planting the bomb which detonated
at Sennaya Ploshchad and the other for leaving an explosive device at
Ploshchad Revolutsii station.A source said: 'Two people are being sought
on suspicion of planning the blasts, one of whom is thought to have
placed the explosive device in the metro wagon and the second person for
leaving a bomb at the metro station Ploshchad Revolutsii.'Dozens have
been injured, including at least three children, as it was reported the
man left a briefcase on a train before moving carriages moments before
the deadly blast.
Bloodied
passengers were left strewn across the platform in the Russian city as
emergency services scrambled to save those wounded by the bomb and the
resulting shards of glass and twisted metal.
