31 Dead in Twin Russian Suicide Attacks 
----------------------------------------


 
At least 31 people have died in two consecutive days of bombings in the
Russian city of Volgograd. Seventeen people were killed and 34 were
wounded on Sunday when a female suicide bomber hit a train station.
Another 14 people were killed earlier today when a bomber hit a packed
bus. No group has claimed responsibility, but Russia has faced repeated
attacks from Islamist militants in Chechnya and the North Caucasus.
Russia is set to host the Winter Olympics in just over a month.
