10 Killed, Dozens Injured in Moscow Suicide Blast

10 Killed, Dozens Injured in Moscow Suicide Blast

August in Russia is always ripe with disaster. In 1991 it was the putsch.
In 1998, it was the economic collapse, ruining millions of Russians and taking thousands of companies out of business.
In 2000 there was that explosion in Pushkinskaya Sq. (still unsolved), the Kursk disaster, and the fire that burnt down Ostankino TV station.
In 2004 we were hoping, that double airplane crash is tragedy enough.
We were wrong: 4 hours before the end of August a suicide bomber blew herself opposite Rizhskaya subway station, leaving 10 dead and dozens of Muscovites seriously injured.

And the worse was yet to come...
