TIMES ONLINE: Moscow began an official day of mourning this morning as another victim of yesterday's Metro bombings died from her wounds, taking the death toll to 39.
Flags few at half mast on government buildings and at the Kremlin, while the main television channels dropped entertainment programmes and advertising from their schedules.
Five people remain in critical condition in hospital after two suspected women suicide bombers detonated bombs packed with bolts and pieces of metal on two subway stations during the peak rush hour yesterday morning.
Commuters left flowers and lit candles in memory of the victims of the attacks at Lubyanka Metro station, where at least 23 people died, and the Park Kultury station, where a second explosion left at least 12 people dead.
The explosions have been blamed on suspected Islamic militants from the Northern Caucasus region, where several prominent separatist leaders have been killed recently by Russian security forces. The bombers may have been so-called Black Widows, Chechen women who have lost family members in the civil war. >>> Times Online | Tuesday, March 30, 2010
