Well, I think Russia will respond to an attack on the best city with more than a prayforX hashtag.

RIP ISIS, you will not be missed.

That's why the word right now is that this was ISIS, as they are the only ones Russia is currently fighting.

not directly, they are fighting the rebels that oppose Assad

Can we just keep the speculation and petty bickering under control please - several people have died and plenty injured - maybe take a couple of minutes to focus on that rather than worrying about anything else.

There are no rebels, that was just a marketing term for supporting terrorists to achieve a political goal (ousting Assad).

Both attacks were claimed by Islamist groups.

As reported by the BBC.

Going to put the BBC News on a time out?

Now being stated that it is only one bomb and it went off as the train traveled between Sennaya Ploschad and Tekhnologichesky Institut.

RIP to those who have lost their lives, an explosion in an underground tunnel with everything being reflected back in would be horrific for all those involved, I really hope the death toll does not rise as

They'd claim to be responsible for knocking my fence over, if it suited their agenda.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves until we get more facts.

As reported by the BBC.

You omitted the part that give's your quote context:

In 2010 at least 38 people died in a double suicide bombing on the Moscow metro.

In 2009, a bomb exploded on a high speed train travelling between Moscow and St Petersburg, killing 27 and injuring another 130.

Both attacks were claimed by Islamist groups.

That's referring to attacks like 7-8 years ago

No but I will happily put you on one if you'd prefer? Just for a change it would be nice for a thread about an attack not to turn into the normal Islam/Isis/Muslim etc. discussion that has been done to death.

Lol I've said the same before, they'll claim responsibility for me letting out a particularly pungent guff. Take any attack those muppets claim with a pinch of salt and wait for the actual facts to appear.

Link sends me to today's attack?
