Terrorism In Russia…Bomb caused train crash that killed 39
Rescuers work at the site of a train derailment, about 400 km (250 miles) northwest of Moscow.
The ‘Nevsky Express’ train carrying hundreds of passengers from Moscow to St. Petersburg derailed killing dozens of people and injuring dozens more in Tver Region, Russia, on November 28, 2009.
Four cars derailed.
A bomb attack caused the crash, which killed up to 39 people and injured nearly 130.
The health minister said that the 18 people listed as missing after the incident had not been located in the three car that went off the tracks.
In August 2007, an explosion derailed the same express train on the same railroad line, injuring 60 people. An investigation into that attack continues, with the main suspect still being sought by authorities.
The disaster has fueled fears of a rise in terrorist attacks outside Russia’s volatile North Caucasus region. Russia was hit hard by terrorism in the 1990s and the early years of this decade, but there had been no major incident outside the North Caucasus region since 2004.
