Moscow metro bombs kill dozens

Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on the Moscow subway during the morning rush hour today, killing at least 37 people and injuring more than 60, Russian officials said.
Yuri Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, told reporters the suicide bombers were believed to have set off their explosives as trains approached Lubyanka and Park Kultury metro stations.
"The first data that the FSB [Federal Security Service] has given us is that there were two female suicide bombers," he told reporters at Park Kultury.
Vladimir Putin, the prime minister, who was on a visit to the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, said those responsible for the attacks would be "destroyed".
"A crime that is terrible in its consequences and heinous in its manner has been committed," Putin said at the start of a video conference. "I am confident that law enforcement bodies will spare no effort to track down and punish the criminals. Terrorists will be destroyed," said Putin, who was propelled to the Russian presidency in 2000 following his tough response to the Chechnya conflict.
The first blast happened at the busy Lubyanka interchange near the headquarters of the FSB, the successor to the KGB. The explosion went off at a point where two metro lines converge, a 10-minute walk from Red Square and the Bolshoi Theatre.
Officials said at least 23 people died at Lubyanka and 12 to 14 were killed at the second explosion at Park Kultury, near Gorky Park.
