Deadly terrorist bombings rock Moscow in morning rush hour

Two suicide bombers killed at least 37 people on two packed Moscow Metro trains in the morning rush hour on Monday, according to Fox News Channel.

Two female terrorists from Russia's troubled North Caucasus may have been responsible for Monday morning's blasts, the head of the country's Federal Security Service announced, reports Law Enforcement Examiner.

The current death toll makes it the worst attack on Moscow since February 2004, when a suicide bombing killed at least 39 people on a metro train.

According to Reuter's archives, the first known attack inside Russia's Metro occurred during the time of Leonid Brezhnev, when a bomb planted in a carriage in January 1977 by Armenian separatists killed seven people and injured another 37.

New York police sources on the scene indicate that bomb technicians, crime scene units, investigating detectives, crime lab personnel and others are following a predetermined set of procedures for investigating this bomb incident.
