@ ERNST what does Iran or/and MOSSAD have to do with such a terrorist act? What is the connection?

This could be the act of simple criminals, manipulated and paid to create troubles in a country well governed who could have an examplary influence on many others. We live in a crazy World and everything is possible. If the russian police find the culpables; make sure than the death penalty is used in the quickest possible time. Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

The terrorist attacks in Russia are masterminded from abroad using Caucuses extremists to do their dirty job with an aim to create hatred and intolerance between minority Muslim and majority Christian population and divide the country on ethnic lines. Once the intolerance between ethnic groups has been achieved then financial and political support from abroad will follow to arm the population and turn it against each other on a killing spree which will plunge the country into a chaos and destroy their economy, and poverty stricken country is easy to control from abroad. Then it follows the easiest part for the plotters, move in militarily as peace keepers and drain the country’s natural and human resources. Remember Yugoslavia and Serbia? The World has witnessed this kind of ploys many times before in its history, the latest being Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq has the second largest oil reserve in the World and Afghanistan is the crossroad corridor for the Oil and Gas Pipelines which were suppose to carry Central’s Asia wealth to the West at grab-for-nothing price. Who would have dared to stand against theses plotters armed with most sophisticated weapons in the World? The answer is Russia. Russia is the only country in the World which keeps the balance of power, whether we like it or not, that is the boldest truth, and the plotters whom control the West-precisely US and England, will never stop plotting to destroy Russia until centres of power with Multi Polar World settles. These plotters have plunged the World in the last 200 years or so into the darkest ages of human history. Strangely enough, this terrorist attack comes on the day when the World sinks into the second wave of financial demise with Dubai defaulting on its debt of more than $60 billion with the biggest losers being English & US bankers financing the country and sadly Russian people are being killed.

Wild speculation will achieve nothing, we need our security services to do their job. Yes we all know that foreign countries are directing, financing, training and equiping terrorists in Russia. But we need to be accurate and transparent, before we start pointing the finger on this one. There is a whole list of suspects with known form, UK, US, Georgia, Poland ..... But we need to get the evidence on the table as we are not like the west, to just make something up and act. This terrorist attack has taken the lives of many every day people, their fundamental human right to life has been taken, the silence of the 'human rights groups' is deafening. You can impute what side a player is on by the direction in which he plays.

The train tragedy is a very sad situation and deep heart felt simpathy goes out to the victims and their families. The world is becoming a more dangerous place each day that passes. Hopefully the perpetrators of this crime against humanity/mass murder will be caught promptly and given the ultimate punishment. It is ill advised to even speculate on who committed this terrible crime or what their motive could have been. When the criminals are apprehended the world will know.

Peter. What you wrote is the absolute truth; we know it for quiet some time. Why do russian leaders and decent decisions' makers of many other countries do not speak louder. Instead, they bind over to every criminal-capitalist' wish. They travel from one spot to an other, all over the world to those deceitful meetings which concretely accomplish nothing. There is an easer way to solve most of our problems and stop that insane diplomatic furbery: the boycott of everything coming from culpable states (America is very good at doing it). If Sarkozyland and the USA ( the main troubles' makers) could not sell cigarettes, wine, airplanes, cars etc. I bet you than the citizen of those states will quickly wake-up and clean-up their mess. Unfortunatly, we do quiet the opposite: just look how many french and US products are sold every day in Russia ! As I wrote for other topics, just threatening to do those boycotts will be sufficient. Nobody in the inslaved countries will suggest it because too many "prostitutes" will suffer...The Moscow-Saint-Petersburg' train blow-up and the innocent casualties are the consequences of not telling the truth and keeping that Worldwide hypocrisy working. Russia has two excellent leaders who disturb a lot of crooks. It is time for Mr Medvedev and Putin to speak frankly and tell the real facts; otherwise more pressure will be put on Russia whose actual politic is not appreciated in the West...Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin

About the terrorists themselves: find those bastards, torture them, cut them into pieces and feed them to pigs. As for the masterminds we know them already: USA, England, Israel and Turkey. USA and England because they want to damage the moral and unity of the Russian people. Israel because they want to cut the relations of Russia and Iran. Turkey because they dream of a "great Turkey" in Caucasus. Peter in his post has covered USA and England well enough. Nothing is left for me to say... Israel 's plans for domination in Middle East are thwarted by the alliance of Russia with both Syria and Iran. US occupation of Iraq is not enough for Israel plans. They want also Syria and Iran destroyed. The first step of their plan is to create hatred for Muslims in Russia and so they have "special interest" for muslim terrorism in Russia. To tell the truth muslim religion is the worst religion on the planet and it cultivates jihad terrorism among many other bad things. But I don't think that the muslim clergy inside Russia would dare to teach such things to their followers. Russian secret services are quite capable... No, such jihad teachings come from outside Russia. From sources who have interest to cause trouble to Russia, like the islamist government of Turkey. The Turks want to build an islamic zone in Caucasus, so that the countries in the area will become Turkey's "satelites". That's why the military-fascist Kemalist regime of Turkey tolerates the existence an islamic party. They hope that through Islam Turkey will expand to the north. They plot against Russia since the Soviet era.

It has taken me quite some time to read this. I CANNOT go too deeply in my tragic feeling state or I shall burst at this abomination - my soul is one with all who died and those who are left to grieve this, I can only pray for the whole universe to hold you all while you process the truth about how humans are failing in the 21st Century to be sane. I am so very sorry Russia that your country is continuing to be used as the Litmus Test for terrorism, to continue wreaking havoc in the imaginations of the many since the spirit of Russia is one not to be reckoned with and thus, the continual attacks to take her down into the ground ... .... boom, boom, boom, boom. RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT RUSSIA and surround your people who are used in this time of globalization since this beast does indeed have a cage to be put into, and it is just about time!

This maybe is an attack not by known terrorists that are operating in the North Caucases but by Russian extremist groups it will not be the first time they have put bombs or use terrorism as a means ,..............in the states everybody was saying it was Arab terrorists that blow up the oklahoma state building that killed 168 people but they were all wrong it was Timothy McVeigh.

I send my thoughts and prayers for the victims of this terrible crime. I believe the United Kingdom, the United States and the Russian Federation are often far too tolerant of some cultural, religious and ethnic groups. I believe that Russia should use the death penalty in this case, as we did to Timothy McVeigh ( Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 ).

The truth is we don't know who did it or why. All this speculation from "informed" individuals is just mindless hatred and finger pointing. We'll know once the people are caught. For all we know it could have been some old crazy guy who hates trains.

This line was attacked in 2007, where was the action plan?, why did it take 2 hours for help to arrive when a hospital was only 10 miles away?, why were the staff on the train not trained in give first aid, why was there no safety equipment on this train. A third rate response from a third world country... shocking.
